(Stillwater, Okla.) — A woman who admitted having sexual intercourse with a developmentally disabled client at his Stillwater residence while she was employed by Supported Community Lifestyles has been ordered to register as a sex offender by Payne County Associate District Judge Stephen Kistler.
Sharlisa Katrice Priest, 21, of Perkins, pleaded guilty to second-degree rape on May 15, court records show.
Priest was ordered to serve 180 days in the Payne County Jail followed by four and one-half years of probation, undergo a mental health evaluation with any recommended follow-up, and pay her incarceration cost as well as $250 to the victims’ compensation fund.
Priest was employed by Supported Community Lifestyles (SCL) from September 2013 until February 2014 and worked an overnight shift from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m., according to an affidavit by Stillwater Police Detective Inspector Greg Miller.
“On Feb. 12, 2014, management of SCL was made aware of possible sexual contact between Sharlisa Priest” and the client, the affidavit said.
Two SCL employees spoke to the client who “told them he had sex with Sharlisa on the couch and in the shower,” during the Feb.11/12 overnight shift, the affidavit said.
On Feb. 14, 2014, an employee of the Oklahoma Department of Human Services Office of Client Advocacy and the Stillwater police detective inspector interviewed the client, the affidavit said.
The client “told us he had sex with Sharlisa Priest,” and was not certain of the date, but it was recent, the affidavit said.
Priest and the client were sitting together on the couch while watching television in the living room when they kissed before moving to his bedroom where they had sex before later having sex again in the bathroom shower, the client told the detective, according to the affidavit.
A stain determined to be seminal fluid contained the DNA of Priest and the client, the affidavit said.
The sexual activity occurred at the residence of three clients of SCL under contract with the Oklahoma Department of Human Services Office of Client Advocacy, the affidavit said.
Rape in the second-degree is a felony punishable by one year to 15 years in prison on conviction, court records show.
