‘Monster’ Mum’s Ex-Husband Fights to Protect Kids from Her Violent Lover Accused of Abuse and Stalking
- A mother convicted of raping a 16-year-old boy’s fight to keep her children is revealed in shocking court documents.
- Her ex-husband alleges her new lover, William Andrew Cronce, has a history of abuse, stalking, and suicidal tendencies.
- The children were allegedly forced to witness a toxic relationship, with one incident where Cronce shouted at them and threatened their mother.
The disturbing tale of Misty Roberts, a disgraced mayor who was convicted of raping a 16-year-old boy, has taken a dark turn. Court documents have revealed that her ex-husband, Duncan Clanton, fought to keep their two children away from her new lover, William Andrew Cronce, who has a history of abuse, stalking, and suicidal tendencies.
According to the documents, Clanton filed a civil restraining order in January 2024, claiming that Cronce posed a threat to the safety of their children. He alleged that Cronce had a history of instability, including suicidal and “stalky” behavior, and had been known to publicly threaten to harm himself. Clanton also claimed that Cronce had access to weapons and had previously been found by police “incapacitated and unconscious with a gun on his person.”
The documents reveal a disturbing incident where Cronce allegedly shouted at the children, telling their mother that she needed to “learn to shut her ‘c*** sucker’, if she knows what’s good for her.” Clanton claimed that his son had told him about the incident, which had left him fearful for his children’s safety.
Despite the allegations, Roberts took Cronce back, ignoring her ex-husband’s repeated requests to keep him away from the children. Clanton even claimed that Roberts had disregarded her own daughter’s wishes, who did not want Cronce to come over.
Cronce’s lawyer denied the abuse allegations, but just three weeks after the restraining order was filed, he was dead. The cause of his death was not disclosed.
