A 45-year-old Fort Collins mother is accused of having sex with a 16-year-old boy who also was part of a group that enjoys dressing up as animals.
Richael L. Michels faces charges of sexual assault on a child, according to the arrest affidavit the Fort Collins Coloradoan newspaper posted on its website. Her husband notified the Colorado Department of Human Services in May that his wife might be having an improper online relationship with a teenage boy, the affidavit says.
He also told investigators she had “recently become involved with a group known as ‘Furries,’ who dress up like animals and have social gatherings online and in person.”
According to the arrest affidavit, the boy told police that Michels “even made a comment about the irony of (his) mom trusting her as a mentor . . . and the whole time she was having sex with him.” Joey Bunch, The Denver Post
