The 33-year-old foster father of a 16-year-old exchange student has been charged with having sex with her.

Michael Ford Little, of 6551 Hinkle Road, Harrison, was charged with statutory rape by an authority figure.

Police said Little admitted to having sex with the girl on March 18. He said he confessed the fact to his wife, and she acknowledged to police that he had.

The teen said they had sex on three separate occasions that day.

Police said the girl told a teacher at her high school that she had been in a physical relationship with  her host father and she felt upset and confused because he had been ignoring her since that time.

She said she questioned him and he said he had been feeling guilty that he had given her three beers that made her wobbly on her feet.

The information was relayed to the principal and he contacted Child Protective Services and others.
