Jeni Lee Dinkel, 51, a Hollywood makeup artist (check out her website here)and wife of a former Bengals linebacker Tom Dinkel was arrested Monday on charges she had sex with a 15-year-old high school boy--who was a friend of her son's--during wild parties that were held at her Villa Hills, Kentucky home.

Dinkel represents Arbonne International cosmetics company and has been the makeup artist for 19 Hollywood films, including the Academy Award-winning "Forrest Gump" and "The Shawshank Redemption," according to her Web site. She is the wife of Tom Dinkel, who was a Bengals linebacker from 1978 to 1985. Her court file indicates that she has no prior criminal record.
Dinkel's accuser attends Covington Catholic High School with Dinkel's teenage son, authorities said.
"The investigation resulted from allegations that surfaced after officers had responded to the suspect's residence back in October for a loud party call," Villa Hills Detective Joe Schutzman said in a statement released Monday. "There were allegations that the suspect was providing alcoholic beverages to minors."
Kenton County Commonwealth's Attorney Rob Sanders said witnesses told police that Jeni Lee Dinkel was present on at least one occasion when police responded to complaints about underage drinking at her home.
"When police investigated these parties, they started hearing rumors about sexual contact between Mrs. Dinkel and an underage male," Sanders said.
March 22, a teenage boy told the Children's Advocacy Center that Dinkel had repeatedly engaged in sexual contact with him at her home during a four-month span in 2006, according to court records.
The boy, who was 15 at the time of the alleged incidents, told authorities that another juvenile had "walked in ... and witnessed one sexual encounter," according to court records. The juvenile witness later confirmed the boy's account, authorities said.
"The investigation's still ongoing," Sanders said.
Dinkel was arraigned Monday in Kenton District Court. She was taken into custody and released minutes later, after posting $2,500, or 10 percent, of a $25,000 bond, authorities said. She remains free but cannot have contact with her accuser or unrelated juveniles.
