Misty Roberts -- the disgraced former Louisiana mayor -- is extending her 15 minutes of infamy by posing for a new mug shot Thursday after she registered as a sex offender.
As you can see, Roberts was in no mood to smile as her picture was snapped during the process of registering as a sex offender in Beauregard Parish, LA, which includes DeRidder -- a small city of about 10,000 people -- where Misty was mayor until the scandal broke.
On Tuesday, Roberts she was convicted at trial of two felonies -- carnal knowledge of a juvenile and indecent behavior of a juvenile. She was also required to register as a sex offender with the state.
Michael Harris -- the new mayor of a small Louisiana city -- tells TMZ his predecessor, Misty Roberts, shocked the population when allegations of her having sex with a teenage boy at a drunken pool party broke.
According to Harris ... his prior impression of Misty is that she was a good wife, mother and person ... but that image was completely shattered by her arrest and subsequent conviction for having carnal knowledge of a juvenile -- a term often used interchangeably with statutory rape.
He said, "I'll use the word disappointment ... the majority of people in town are disappointed. Leadership should have higher standards."
Misty Roberts -- the former mayor of a small Louisiana town who was convicted of having carnal knowledge of a juvenile -- is not happy with how her trial turned out ... because she still says she did nothing wrong.
Misty's lawyer Todd Clemons tells TMZ ... Misty is "very, very disappointed" in yesterday's verdict.
Clemons said ... "At this particular point, there's no apology that I'm gonna give on her behalf," adding while Misty respects the jury, she plans to appeal their verdict.
The 16-year-old boy who had sex with the former mayor of small Louisiana town dropped some jaw-dropping details testifying in court this week ... before the ex-mayor was convicted Tuesday.
The teen at the center of the trial took the stand yesterday, describing a "big argument" that took place after he was caught in bed with former DeRidder Mayor Misty Roberts... he said Roberts immediately shifted blame to him after the drunken incident ... and he said Roberts told her own son to fight him.
According to local news outlet KPLC-TV, the underage victim said Roberts' son told the two they had been recorded having sex .... which prompted Roberts to scream, "Go fight your friend. He's the one who did it."
