From what I have gathered some states it is 18 and in some it is 16. In the UK it is 16 but on the continent of Eurpope in some countries it can be as low as 14, however, this is between same age partners.....

As the first reply to this thread stated, if this had been a man forcing himself upon a child then people would be wanting him dead and life in prison would be seen as a weak sentence.
She's a paedophile that attacked a child, once they cross the line between imagination and action that's it as far as i'm concerned. If they do it once they will do it again, she just happened to get caught. I don't see what was not proportional about the sentence, she abused a child so quite simply, i hope she rots in prison until her teeth fall out and her heart stops.

I could just as easily say that those who want to see her exonerated or let off easy are child molesters rallying to save one of their own.
And the boy was 13 - not 16. Regardless of whether or not the min. age in some states is 16, fact is - he was still 3 years under that.
So let's dispense with the insults, mmkay?
Your position is its ok for a women to have sex with a 16 year old boy (which is the law) but she should get life in prison for asking for sex with a 13 year old boy.
I say that is an Evil position that is not consistent with any rational arguments. Life in prison should be reserved for real crimes.
Her conduct may be socially inappropriate but it does not amount to a crime requiring imprisonment.

Actually - your position was that the legal age was 16 in some states and should be so in all. I was pointing out that fact back to you. So how was your position my position?

Seems a little extreme. I know when I was 13 if a woman wanted to have sex with me you wouldn't have been hearing any complaints from me.
