Just out of curiosity, what do you think the age of consent should be for sex?
Honesty counts.

The sentence is a bit extreme, but the example made out of her will speak for itself. Enough of the unspoken mentality that an adult female with a male child is not as bad. Molestation is molestation. No matter what the gender.

Julie Stewart of the group "Families Against Mandatory Minimums" tells us:
We are following this to its bitter end -- fighting to get it overturned in the State Supreme Court -- to try to make sure that this is overturned not just for her case, but that they overturn the law.
Once again, one-size-fits-all government policy imposes its nasty results.

She is no better than the male paedos.....my heart bleeds......

Maybe I was just a perverted kid, but if an adult woman wanted to do these things to me when I was 13, I would think God was hooking me up!!
Talk about being the school hero.....I'd probably have to wear gloves to protect my hands from the constant "high fives" I would be receiving.

This is tragic to me. Tragic in the way this stupid woman wasted her life on a bad decision, and tragic that she is now going to be wasting tax payer dollars to house her for the remainder of her life, while the prison system cites "over crowding" and releases people who are actually far more of a danger to society.
lame......

This is the problem with society, why is it you don't see the difference? Yes some young boys might be ready for it but many are not and many young boys are abused and remain silent because of attitudes just like yours. They are scared they'll be laughed at for complaining, seen as unmanly or "gay" for refusing the advances of an older woman because of attitudes just like yours.

You don't think she is a danger to society? Are you kidding me? Why is it people like you are all against men who abuse young girls and boys but when a woman does it then hey it's all good, the kid should be happy, high fiving his mates and feeling great.
This woman is a paedophile, paedophiles are predatory by nature and they will harm kids. Maybe the first boy would be happy about it, maybe the second would as well, the third one may have his entire life tainted by it.
That to me suggests a very clear danger to society.

You may want to hold back on the accusations of her being a pedophile, since most likely at 13 this boy had already gone through or was in the process of going through puberty.
Pedophilia refers to pre-pubescent children, which at 13, just wasnt the case.
Lets stick to the facts and not emotion based arguments.

Most people are also idiots, so relying on a definition common to them is intellectually dishonest.
The proper term would be ephebophile.
Pedophile brings to mind a small child, toddler, or infant.
True pedophiles should be executed immediately upon conviction.
