Alameda County – A woman arrested last Thursday for having sex with two boys is expected to enter a plea Monday in Alameda County Superior Court in Pleasanton on 67 felony charges.
Christine Shreeve Hubbs, 42, a Livermore mother, is being held in Santa Rita Jail on $4.3 million bail. She is accused of sexual assaults on two boys which police said began in December 2008 and continued since then, police said.
She began making advances on one of the boys when he was 14 and dating her daughter, also 14, officials said.
The charges include counts of oral copulation, lewd acts on a child, and exhibition of lewd material to a minor.
Hubbs allegedly sent messages and nude pictures of herself to the boys from her cell phone. After contacting the victims, she would then allegedly drive them in her black 2006 Hummer H2 to different locations in Livermore and have sex with them, police said.
She also faces charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor; police allege she let a group of boys shoot a plastic pellet gun from her car, Livermore police Lt. Matt Sarsfield said. Court records show Hubbs drove boys, ages 9-14 around Livermore on June 29, hitting speeds of up to 60 mph. The boys shot Airsoft guns — purchased for them by Hubbs — and hit a youngster on a bicycle, according to court records, which also say Hubbs did nothing to stop them.
That information came to police attention while investigating the alleged sexual assaults by Hubbs. No one was seriously injured by the plastic pellets, and Sarsfield said none of the boys in the car has come forward as a victim in the sexual assault case.
Hubbs has been married for about 20 years to her husband Timothy, a dentist, and has three children, according to her Facebook and MySpace pages. More than half of the 36 friends on MySpace have pages displaying ages 18 or younger.
Hubbs’ Facebook page says she works in the dental office and that she “taxi(s) kids around after school.”
Police began their investigation into sexual assault charges after receiving a tip from someone connected to Hubbs. Both victims are cooperating with the investigation, Sarsfield said. The first victim was contacted after police received the tip. The second victim came forward voluntarily a few days later, he said.
Police say Hubbs provided the victims with Visa gift cards, dinners at restaurants and video game consoles.
Hubbs hired a lawyer last week after learning of the investigation, Sarsfield said.
from www.cbsnews.com – PLEASANTON, Calif. – Christine Hubbs remains in jail on $4.3 million bail pending a hearing next week where she is expected to answer to the 67 sexual assault charges for allegedly having a long-term sexual relationship with two teenage boys, but Crimesider has uncovered exclusive photos of the mother of three with her family during better times.
The 42-year-old woman was arraigned on felony charges of unlawful sex, but delayed entering a plea while her defense lawyer reviews the evidence against her.
The suburban mother was arrested on August 5 following an investigation that began July 27 when the mother of one of the alleged victims said she found a nude photo of Hubbs on her son’s cell phone, said Livermore police Lt. Matt Sarsfield.
According to a police affidavit, Hubbs made sexual advances on one of the boys when he was 14 and dating her daughter.
Police say that relationship lasted from December 2008 to January of this year.
Investigators say they interviewed another boy who said he was also having sex with Hubbs. That boy, who is now 14 years old, told police he had a sexual relationship with Hubbs from December 2009 through July.
“The sex occurred in the county of Alameda, throughout different locations, hotels, including her vehicle,” Sarsfield said.
Hubbs gave gifts and money to the two boys while maintaining the alleged relationships, Sarsfield said.
He described the two teens as “very scared” during the course of the investigation. Their names have not been released.
Hubbs’ husband attended Monday’s court hearing, as did stunned friends of the couple.
In a separate misdemeanor charge police say Hubbs recently bought pellet and water guns for several boys, ranging in age from 9 to 14, and allegedly drove them around Livermore – at speeds up to 80 mph – while the boys shot bystanders from the windows, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
