Couple Charged With Having Intercourse In Front of 9-Year-Old Daughter to Teach Her About Sex

* PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A Woonsocket mother and her boyfriend are headed to trial on charges they had intercourse in front of the woman's 9-year-old daughter as a way to teach the girl about sex.

Rebecca Arnold, of Woonsocket, and her boyfriend, David Prata, have pleaded not guilty to felony child-neglect charges. A pre-trial conference is scheduled for next month.

When questioned by an investigator from the state Department of Children, Youth and Families, Prata, 33, said he and Arnold, 36, had sex "all the time" in front of the child and that "we don't believe in hiding anything."

He said the girl would often be on the bed watching as the couple had sex. Though they did not ask her to leave, they also did not force her to remain on the bed, Prata said.

Asked why he thought a child that age should know about sexual acts, Prata replied, "We wanted to prepare her so she would know how," according to a report from the investigator, Vanessa E. Cisela.

The girl, who is now 11, went to live with her biological father in North Adams, Mass., after spending the summer with her mother in Woonsocket.

Her teacher called the Child Abuse Hotline in December 2004 to report that the girl said her mother and her boyfriend had sex in front of her.

The child told a Massachusetts social services investigator that her mother and Prata never touched her or tried to include her in the sex.

Woonsocket police arrested Prata and Arnold in February 2005. The couple is accused of "providing an environment that is lewd and depraved in a manner that makes their home unfit for the child to live in," according to court records.

Prata and Arnold are free on bail pending a March 19 pretrial conference in Family Court. They each face one to three years in prison or a maximum $1,000 fine, or both.

Their lawyers did not return phone calls from The Providence Journal.

Fascinated? Not really, I recall the topic about parents needing liscense and this really proves some people do need it

and sex sells

I can't believe theyre making such a big deal about it. Some people are just more open to these things as others are. I have sex in front of people all that time, its not exactly a major taboo. They didnt include the child at all, they didn't care if the child was there or not, the child probably had no idea what they were doing anyway. I think they were just very open about their sexual activities and didn't realise it matterd so much. If people are naturists does that mean theyre automatically peadophiles/perverts for walking round naked in front of their children?

Really ****ed up.

I love walking around nude. Just not in front of people other than my girl-friend.

It is a taboo, a 9 yr old shouldn't be around while the parents are having sex, they should had keep the kid away and the kid most likely had a ideal what was going on consider they were telling her it's sex. I bet that girl going be screwed up as she gets older and it's illegal in most states and countries doing it in front of your kids.

As for naturalist, some are pervs. It's one thing to walk around naked while the kid is young but to continue doing it while he or she is in teens or older seems a bit off to me. I would never walk around naked in front of my daughter nude, I'm not a prude but think it's just wrong exposing yourself in front of kids.

Don´t most kids catch their parents having sex at some point anyway? Should they all be arrested for not locking the door?

[Cobblepot]

9 is a bit young to watch.
11 shoudn't be a problem though, I remeber my little brother sneeking up on me and my ex...offcourse I send him away. Just to find out his friend was watching too.

[Cyrusbales]

Don't you learn about stuff like that at 9?

Unfair also, how come they get a free show....

[The Amazing Lee]

I remember pressing play on the video machine...and it was a sex video. How embarassing.

Thankfully never saw any "Live" action when I was younger.

Is the mom hot?

Agreed. I think people on here forget just how premiscious they were at 9. The fact that so many things are hidden from kids these is something that will bite us all in the a**. Someday. This is the age of the internet. Kids know a lot more than you think. They also grow up a lot faster than some of you might want to believe.
