Accused sex offender surrenders

For an approximate one and a half year period, it’s alleged, a Long Creek woman engaged in sexual relations with a minor, according to an announcement by the Oconee Sheriff’s Office.  Janice Allen, 37 years old, turned herself over to authorities yesterday and was booked into the county jail.  There, according to the sheriff’s office, Allen faces 17 counts of criminal sexual conduct with a minor second degree and 202 counts of disseminating harmful material to a minor.  The investigation started last week when a school resource officer received reports of sex offenses.
