A wannabe model and married mother of three allegedly engaged in explicit sexual acts with at least three underage teenage boys.
Anna R. Welsh, 31, of Nehalem, Oregon, was arrested on Wednesday and charged with two counts of using a child in display of sexually explicit conduct, one count of third-degree sodomy and three counts of third-degree sex abuse.
Her victims are believed to be 15 to 16 years old.
Welsh is accused of having sex with at least one of the teenage boys, and also sending and requesting pornographic images of the three via electronic means, police say.
She is married to military veteran Jon Welsh with three children of their own, according to a news report from last year.
A person who knows Welsh told MailOnline that she and her husband were having marital problems before her scandal was reported.
The accused 31-year-old is on the board of directors of New Discoveries Preschool in Nehalem and is listed as the 'president' of New Discoveries on the Bizapedia website online, the Tillamook Headlight-Herald reports.

Welsh last appeared in the news in 2011 after placing second in the Nike Women’s Marathon in San Francisco, California.
'It has opened up a lot of doors for me,' said was quoted as saying at the time.
Welsh keeps a personal profile on the modelling and photography website Model Mayhem, which contains seductive photos of her wearing lingerie.
A working photographer, who asked to remain anonymous, told MailOnline that Welsh had hired him on three separate occasions to take photos of her and paid him several hundred dollars for the shots that were never published until now.
Her bio on Model Mayhem reads:
