A 27-year-old Burnet woman is accused of posing as a teenage girl and
having phone sex with a 15-year-old boy whom she sent dozens of letters
asking him to sleep with her, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.


For months, the boy thought his admirer was 16, and he even invited her
to homecoming, but she stood him up, the affidavit said. Along with
letters and cards, Mandy - as she called herself - left him gifts
of bras, underwear, condoms and K-Y personal lubricant, the affidavit
said.

Then he found out she was Amanda White, the wife of a youth minister,
Burnet police said.

Then he found out she was Amanda White, the wife of a youth minister,
Burnet police said.

White was charged Nov. 9 with criminal solicitation of a minor, a
third-degree felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison

Police confiscated 50 to 75 handwritten letters and cards that White
wrote to the boy, according to the affidavit. Nelson said the letters
were written in the last half of the summer.

He thought he was going to meet with Mandy and have sex with her,
the affidavit said.

He was even going to take Mandy to homecoming at Burnet High, but she
never showed up,

The affidavit doesn't explain who told him Mandy's identity. But when
he discovered it was White, he told his mother about the letters, and
she contacted police, Nelson said.

A 27-year-old Burnet woman is accused of posing as a teenage girl and
having phone sex with a 15-year-old boy whom she sent dozens of letters
asking him to sleep with her, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.


For months, the boy thought his admirer was 16, and he even invited her
to homecoming, but she stood him up, the affidavit said. Along with
letters and cards, Mandy - as she called herself - left him gifts
of bras, underwear, condoms and K-Y personal lubricant, the affidavit
said.

Then he found out she was Amanda White, the wife of a youth minister,
Burnet police said.

White was charged Nov. 9 with criminal solicitation of a minor, a
third-degree felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a fine
up to $10,000. She was arrested and released on bail.

White's attorney did not return phone calls Thursday, and White could
not be reached for comment.

Police are investigating and may make more arrests, said Burnet police
Capt. Paul Nelson. He said White, who has children, is married to a
youth minister at Victory Baptist Church in Burnet. She also worked
with children at the church, Nelson said.

The church did not return phone calls Thursday.

Police confiscated 50 to 75 handwritten letters and cards that White
wrote to the boy, according to the affidavit. Nelson said the letters
were written in the last half of the summer.

White told police she started writing the letters as a game after she
had seen a photo of the boy on a friend's cell phone, the affidavit
said. White told police that the letters were "very dirty" and that she
knew it was wrong to write them, according to the affidavit. White also
told police that she knew the boy was a minor, the affidavit said.

The boy said he would go to White's house to pick up the letters that
he thought Mandy had left for him, the affidavit said. He thought he
was going to meet with Mandy and have sex with her, the affidavit said.


He told police that Mandy called him all the time and that they had
phone sex, according to the affidavit.

He was even going to take Mandy to homecoming at Burnet High, but she
never showed up, the affidavit said. Her letters said she wanted to
meet him on other occasions, but in subsequent letters she'd say she
couldn't, the affidavit stated.

A witness told police she heard White call the boy and told White that
she needed to stop, according to the affidavit. A second witness said
White promised to break off contact with the boy but hadn't done so
several weeks later, the affidavit said.

The boy got suspicious at a Burnet High School football game this fall
when he saw someone who looked like the "Mandy" he'd seen in a photo on
a cell phone, the affidavit said. It wasn't clear from the affidavit
whose photo he saw or who owned the cell phone.

The affidavit doesn't explain who told him Mandy's identity. But when
he discovered it was White, he told his mother about the letters, and
she contacted police, Nelson said.
