Charges filed in case of 40-year-old woman having sex with teen boys

A 40-year-old Visalia woman has been charged with several counts of lewd acts involving two 15-year-old boys, the Tulare County District Attorney’s Office said.

Coral Lytle was arraigned Tuesday and is being held on $550,000 bail.

She is charged with 12 sex-related felonies: four counts of sex with a minor, four counts of oral copulation with a minor, two counts of contacting a minor for sex and two counts of showing child or youth pornography to a minor.

The crimes occurred between Sept. 27 and Oct. 7, the District Attorney’s Office said. If convicted, Lytle faces 9 years and 8 months in prison and would have to register as a sex offender.

Lytle was arrested Saturday after police were informed the day before about an inappropriate relationship between Lytle and a teen boy. A second minor came forward during the investigation.

The names of the boys are not being released because of their ages. Police also have not revealed how Lytle knew them.
