Head of a chemical dependency program is charged with having sex with a client who was a sex offender.
A 39-year-old St. Paul woman who directed a chemical treatment program for the Salvation Army in Minneapolis goes on trial Monday in Hennepin County District Court on charges that she repeatedly had sex with a client who is a convicted sex offender.
Amy Andrea Horsfield, who is no longer employed by the Salvation Army, was also involved in intimate relationships with two other men who were under the jurisdiction of the Minnesota Department of Corrections, according to allegations contained in court documents.
Horsfield is charged with two gross misdemeanors — criminal sexual abuse of a vulnerable adult and criminal neglect, each of which carries up to one year behind bars and/or a $3,000 fine.
Horsfield exhibited “a pattern of sexual impropriety, abuse and manipulation against convicted felons,” wrote Minneapolis Assistant City Attorney Lisa Godon.
