COLLINGDALE, Pa. (WPVI) -- A Delaware County EMT is accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a 17-year-old junior firefighter.

Melissa Givens turned herself in Monday and charged with sexual abuse of children, corruption of a minor and related sex charges. She was arraigned on the charges in front of a district court judge in Prospect Park.

She was freed on her own recognizance.
