Police say the encounters took place in the woman's vehicle and at several friend's houses in the neighborhood, reports the station.

Clevenger was arrested on Monday and faces five felony charges of lewd and lascivious battery in addition to nine misdemeanor charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, according to WKMG.
