Ohio social worker, 24, accused of having sex with 13-year-old client: reports

Payton Shires, 24, was arrested Friday after reportedly admitting to have sex with the 13-year-old boy to his mother and police over the phone.

Shires was previously employed by the National Youth Advocate Program (NYAP), which provides counseling, social work and advocacy for families involved in the foster care system, the report said. It was unclear when Shires stopped working for the organization.

The boy's mother called police on Sept. 27 after finding suspicious text messages on the 13-year-old’s cellphone from Shires, the newspaper reported, citing court documents.
