So, is it one rule for women sex offenders then?

Had this been a bloke, I bet you he'd be inside by now.

I've ust come back from a Christenining, so forgive me, but I thought we established that Ethel's link was out of date as under 13s cannot give consent.

Whether it is out of date or not doesn't matter,it still established that there are men who didn't go to prison for abusing children. There have been more recent cases but I really can't be bothered looking for any.

[123everton]

It does matter, because if the law's been tightened for that offence then they'd go to jail for it.
This offence was committed in 2008 not 2004.
What the questioner is suggesting is that the ofence warrants prison, regardless of gender, but (and I agree) if the offender is male he can expect a tougher sentance.
Perhaps we need mandatory sentances for certain offences acroos the board, because it appears to me that our judges are failing to provide justice.

[daffy654]

I agree with mandatory sentences,if a person (male or female)is convicted of a sex crime they should go to prison for definite,they should also be placed on the sex offenders register for life not just a few years.

The woman did wrong and should be prosecuted accordingly as should anyone that interferes with a child. I love how people attitudes changed when the pic was posted of her.

I find that link (NO JAIL FOR MAN WHO ADMITS SEX WITH GIRL, 12) which Ethel posted very disturbing news. So basically the judge said this guy was "mentally younger than his 20 years", and therefore decided not to jail him....so maybe this woman can state the same thing...she's not right in the head after all. People like this make me sick!

when i was 15 i slept with a woman who was 30+ and a well ex friends mum... he may have done the persuing and she was just foolish enough to fall for it... men tend to be more predatory when it comes to looking for a "mate" and when i was 14-(now) i was constantly looking for the next bit of skirt...
tbh it should be a fair with the sentencing for both sexes but i guess the above should be taken into account.

It does'nt matter how eager the child is. One of you is an adult, so one of you has to be the grown up, and say NO!
