Morbidly-obese Texas 'redneck babe' stands trial for raping male relative, 12, then bragging to neighbors about it: Also accused of 'murdering' man while out on bail

A morbidly-obese woman from Texas stood trial for raping her 12-year-old male relative and is also accused of stabbing a man to death while she was out on bail. 

Brittany Ann Rouleau, 38, faces up to life behind bars for accusations of aggravated sexual assault of a child and prohibited sexual conduct with a relative. 

The 38-year-old is also accused of murdering Kenneth Douglas, 57, who suffered a single stab wound to the heart, according to preliminary autopsy reports.

Testimony began before a jury of nine men and three women on Wednesday - with the prosecution, led by Chelsea Carlton, informing the jury that the trial was going to be 'rough'.

According to Carlton - Rouleau and the victim, who is now a senior in High School, had a happy relationship during his early childhood.

However, after a traumatic event took place in the family - the Rouleau's house was no longer a safe place. Rouleau is accused of sexually assaulting the boy in 2018, when he was 12, Texomas reported. 

Rouleau's defense, led by Public Defender Lee Ann Marsh, painted a different version of events and claimed that the 38-year-old was in fact the victim of the sexual assault.

Marsh said that the incident took place after Rouleau and the victim had gotten into a fight, and said that the 12-year-old sexually assaulted Rouleau while she was unconscious after the altercation.  

Carlton called the alleged victim to take the stand just after 11am on Wednesday. The now-18-year-old testified that Rouleau treated her like a boyfriend and would ask him to cuddle when he was just 11 or 12 years old.   

The alleged victim went on to recount, in detail, multiple instances of sexual activity between himself and Rouleau - which he testified he had not wanted to participate in and felt wrong after the incidents occurred.

Rouleau's former neighbor was also called to the stand as a witness and revealed shocking details about the alleged abuse. 

Brandy Winfrey, the former neighbor, testified that while she and Rouleau were driving to the food bank together in 2020, Rouleau became lost and was visibly agitated.

Winfrey revealed that Rouleau told her that she'd had sex with the victim when he was 12-years-old and confessed that it had happened multiple times. 

Though Winfrey did not initially believe Rouleau, she called Child Protective Services to report her.

During cross-examination, Marsh questioned Winfrey about her history of drug use and she revealed that when she'd met Rouleau she was on probation for possession of drugs.

Winfrey was sure that Rouleau was 'high' when she told her about the sexual abuse of her 12-year-old relative.  

Another witness called to the stand was Robert Welch, a detective with the Wichita Falls Police Department.

Welch testified about the initial forensic interview of the victim - which was conducted in September 2020, as well as his investigation into the allegations of sexual abuse by Rouleau. 

The detective testified that he was unable to collect any physical evidence because too much time had passed between the alleged incident of abuse and the forensic interview. 

According to Rouleau's social media accounts, she is a 'Countrybumpkin' and a 'Real RedNeck Babe'.

Her Facebook account suggests that she was in a relationship with Douglas prior to the stabbing. On March 22, 2022, Douglas updated his relationship status on the social network to 'in a relationship with Brittany Ann.'
