An Augusta-area mother of five is accused of hosting a party that included drugs, alcohol, sex and “naked Twister” for teenagers, including her own daughter, according to police.
Rachel Lynn Lehnardt, 35, of Evans, was arrested Monday and charged with two counts of contributing to the delinquency of minors, according to the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office. She was later released from jail after posting $3,200 bond.

It was Lehnardt herself who prompted police to investigate the party, the police report states. While meeting with her newly appointed Alcoholics Anonymous sponsor, Lehnardt said she had recently lost custody of her five children, ages 4, 6, 8, 10 and 16, after hosting a party at her house.
When the 16-year-old texted her mom to ask if she could have friends over “to party,” Lehnardt replied, “come on, let’s party,” Lehnardt told her sponsor.
Lehnardt said she allowed the teenagers to smoke marijuana and drink alcohol in her home, according to police. The party-goers then were allowed to play Twister while nude with Lehnardt, who left the game in order to have sex with an 18-year-old in a bathroom, the report states. Lehnardt allegedly demonstrated various sex toys to the group, police said.
The naked party continued in the home’s hot tub, Lehnardt allegedly told her sponsor. Later when Lehnardt was sleeping, she said she awoke to find someone having sex with her and realized it was her daughter’s 16-year-old boyfriend, according to police.
The 41-year-old AA sponsor reported what Lehnardt told her story to police, who also questioned the mother before the arrest.
