Here is a story for comparison.
2 men with a long predatory history of abusing young boys killed the woman they lived with after she discovered they were abusing her little boy - they had wormed their way into her life with lies and promises specifically so they could abuse this boy.
She apparently found out, and 13 years ago they strangled her to death and presumably dumped her body at sea.
They both have just been sentenced to life (which is 30 years in the UK) - link
So how the hell can that compare to a 13 year old boy touching a woman's breast? I remember touching girls breasts at 13!! - Quite a few of them were over 16 (the age of legal consent here)...

Not to call you a jerk but I'm simply comparing and contrasting the life sentences.

This is a perfect example of gross misjustice!! I was a victim of a brutal rape and hostage by a stranger in the state of Virgina. My story has been posted so that is not the point.
The perpetrator sentence? 1-20 years! 100,000$ fine or both. parole after 5!!
Are you telling me because a 13 year old boy touched this woman's breast and was sexual inappropriate, and no other touching to place, that she is a pedophile?
That she is such a predator she deserves Life in prison?
Excuse me for being callus, but what life lasting harm did this child encounter? Is he scarred forever?
I feel certain that once this gets to the Supreme Court and she has some type of decent representation her case will be overturned.
she needs a decent psych eval. be sentenced to ongoing counseling, receive medical help immediately, and parole. She is not a hardened criminal, she is in dire need of help!
Someone should take her case pro-bono! why was she shackled? is that standard?
Before someone says I don't care about the rights of a child. I have a 13 year old boy!! I would have handled this completely different!

The 2nd star is from me
Seriously though on the facts I have from reading this thread and the court room clip this is a seriously over the top sentence....
Life? Jeese, I wonder what this is going to do to the kid? - He will get pulled over for speeding and cause a pile up trying to out chase the law now I bet.
