“Reportedly, the boy fathered a baby Wolak gave birth to last fall.

Wolak has been charged with sexual misconduct with a minor, contributing to the delinquency of a minor and child seduction.

Court records indicate Wolak and the teen were watching the 2008 Super Bowl at a friend’s home and Wolak gave him alcohol and he consumed quite a bit. The teen told police he woke up at a motel in Schererville wearing a pair of shorts and a T-shirt. Wolak told him they had unprotected sex and that she might be pregnant.

Wolak also rented a room for them in May or June 2008, the teen said.

Police confirmed that Wolak rented rooms at the Schererville motel on Feb. 4, 2008, and May 8, 2008, court records state.

After Wolak and her husband split up, Wolak moved the teen into her bed.

Authorities removed the teen from the Wolak home and placed him in a foster home in Chesterton, but the teen ran away from the Chesterton home and Wolak picked him up in Burns Harbor and brought him back to her home. It was then Wolak told him she became pregnant and had a baby in October.

If convicted of the charges against her, Wolak faces a possible 20 years in prison.”

“According to court records:
The teen boy was one of five siblings placed in Wolak’s home, which was licensed by the state of Indiana, in December 2007.

The children were removed in August 2008 when the teen boy began to miss school on a regular basis, and clothing and hygiene were found to be unacceptable among all the siblings in Wolak’s care. But on Feb.19, 2009, the boy ran away from his new foster home and told his case manager that he stayed at Wolak’s house for a week and at a park before turning himself in to authorities March 10.

The boy subsequently told authorities that in January 2008, he and Wolak were at a friend’s home watching the Super Bowl when Wolak gave him alcohol.

He later awoke at the Comfort Hotel in Schererville, where he contends Wolak told him they had unprotected sex. Wolak allegedly threatened the boy, saying if he told anyone she would claim he raped her.

Authorities’ interviews with the boy’s brother indicate the brother confronted Wolak, who admitted she and the boy were having sex. The boy reportedly confessed to police that he was 15 when the sexual relationship began and about 2 1/2 weeks later, Wolak’s husband left home to stay at his mother’s house. After that, the relationship progressed, and the boy stopped going to school because Wolak would let him stay out as late as he wanted, court records show.”
