Fox 5 Atlanta reports Favors “was taken into custody following an incident at the Embassy Suites in the 3400 block of International Boulevard” in Hapeville, Georgia.
“Booking records accuse her of performing oral sex on a minor at a hotel in Hapeville and confessing to the act,” according to TMZ.
“Because this case involves a juvenile, no additional information will be released from our agency,” the Hapeville Police Department told the station.
The probe has been turned over to the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office for prosecution.
Libs of TikTok noted: “The thing they say never happens, happened again.”
Meanwhile, TMZ reports Stephanie Favors, the mother of Sidney Favors, says she was blindsided by the child sex allegations against her child, and fully stands behind Sidney.
“Stephanie Favors tells us the allegations are completely out of character for Sidney,” she told TMZ, “and she does not believe her [biological son] would engage in sexual activity with a minor.”
Sidney Favors posted a video on TikTok dancing with mother Stephanie.
