New charges were filed Wednesday against a Bexley woman accused of having sex with one of her daughter's 14-year-old friends.
 
Becky Jo Tatum, who faces a charge of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, was indicted Wednesday on new charges of insurance fraud, falsification in theft, drug possession and having a weapon while under disability, 10TV News reported.
 
Tatum, 41, was accused of receiving $6,000 for a laptop she claimed was stolen, according to court documents obtained by 10TV.
 
Tatum turned herself into authorities at the Franklin County Jail late Wednesday afternoon.
 
She was expected to appear in court on Friday, 10TV News reported.
 
Tatum was arrested late last month after a 14-year-old girl claimed she and Tatum engaged in sexual activity at a party.
 
The teenage girl told detectives that she had been drinking and had a "buzz" prior to the alleged incident, according to the search warrant.
