Pasadena woman charged with rape of 12-year-old boy

PASADENA, Texas - A Pasadena mother accused of raping her friend's 12-year-old son almost a dozen times is now behind bars. Police arrested Brandi Fuller, 30, in Hitchcock after receiving a tip from Crime Stoppers. The focus now turns toward DNA; there is an allegation the young boy fathered one of Fuller's six children.

Jimbo Cozad always saw kids coming and going from the trailer where Fuller used to live.

"I don't know what was going on in there because that's one of the stipulations I tell my tenants when I rent to them, what goes on in your house keep it because if I hear it I'm going to call police," said the landlord.

Now Cozad wishes he'd paid more attention. It's inside the trailer where police say Fuller began having sex with her friend's son. He was just 12-years-old at the time. The boy said it happened again and again, according to court documents.

"We believe it was at least a couple of years. There were ten to eleven sexual contacts between the defendant and the juvenile," said Amy McCauley, Harris County Assistant District Attorney.

Investigators say Fuller confessed to having sex once with the boy after he forced himself on her. She says she had sex with him because she didn't want to "make a big scene" while others were asleep inside the trailer.

"I don't believe it. I don't. I really don't," said Jennifer Fuller, the suspect's sister.

Jennifer Fuller is helping to care for her sister's six children. The youngest is ten-months-old. Investigators now want to know if the victim fathered that baby. Fuller says the baby's father is actually the victim's older brother.

"I know for a fact this is his, the older son's baby, because I was in the house when my sister was dating the older son and I was there when she took the pregnancy test," said Jennifer Fuller.
