Woman Admits Lengthy Sexual 'Relationship' With 8-Year-Old
 

Taken from News4Jax.com

While I do agree that it was a very big step for the boy's family to make a deal, I don't think the same offer would've been given if the perp. was a man.

What are your thoughts on this?l

What exactly is an 8 year old capable of as a boyfried? :confused: I mean, isn't think basically just a woman molesting a little boy? I guess it's hard to say to what level it went to without details, but she has to be way mentally ill to even start down that path. :o

While I can hardly blame the boy's parents for not wanting to subject him to the trauma of a trial, it's difficult for me to stomach the idea of a confessed child molestor getting any leniency.

it scares me how phuqed some ppl are:(

This was definitely treated different according to the sex of the offender.

Yeah, it's pretty common. It's called, "I don't want to go to jail." Fucking bitch.

Female sex offenders are pretty much never afforded the same level of disdain, disgust, and punishment as males do. That is not AT ALL to say the punishment for males is high- on the contrary, most punishments are way too lax as they are... but female sex offenders seem to always get the slap on the wrist- and that's disgusting.

Child molesters are the lowest filth on the planet. I don't see how the state allows the parents to say, "no trial". Bullshit. That woman needs to be put away.

I can never conjure the appropriate words to express the level of disgust I feel towards child molesters. Since I don't exactly wish to let fly a stream of expletives, I prefer to say that I sincerely hope that karma catches up to this woman in a hurry.

I don't feel like this is something I ever even really hear about happening. Maybe that's because they aren't treated as harshly, although I'd have to imagine that it's also a much less frequent occurrence in general

This makes me sick! Mental problem? Yeah, anybody who molests children has mental problems! In my opinion there are no deals to be had. She should be punished just as a male would be. In addidtion, there are ways to try a preditor without causing undue stress on the child. This young boy is likely to suffer years of emotional distress due to the invalidation of his parents almost as much as he will by the sexual invasion itself. grrrr

The article does not say she did not go to jail. It said a plea bargain was reached.

I found this story regarding the case which says she was sentenced to 12 years but suspended after 6 years in prison. In other words, she only serves half of the 12 years unless she violates the rest of the terms of probation. It also states that with time served and good behavior, she could be out in four years. Not nearly enough time for the crime committed.

Just in time for puberty. 4 yrs - What the hell are some people thinking? At least she'll be a registered sex offender.

I say put her away. Child Molestation is just digusting, regardless of which sex.

Well first off.... Thank God this didn't happen in Texas...we have enough of her kind locked up already. I also agree that had it been a man, I doubt there would have been any offer made. I guess for some reason they think women child molesters are not as bad as their male counterparts. To me a child molester is a child molester, regardless of gender.

Not to threadjack here, but I would like to add to this discussion if I may. Having firsthand experience dealing with this sort of inmate within Texas prisons, I know for a fact that their lives behind bars is anything but pleasant. I agree with locking them up, and locking them up for a long time, and allowing them to experience prison life for as long as possible. But, my problem is this...In Texas there is no such thing as rehabilitation really. If inmates change any, it is because they want to, and that's it. The general public has this get tough on crime stance all through the discovery of what the criminal did, continuing on thru the trial, and right up to conviction and incarceration.... then that's where it stops. Then people like me get to deal with the crap that gets sent our way, knowing our hands are tied on what we can do, say or hwo we are allowed to treat these scumbags. So, what will happen is she will do her time, then get out, register as a sex offender, and then what?

I see it all the time.... inmates discharged after completing their sentence, or paroled early for good behavior (especially sex offenders)....only to offend again, and then they're right back in prison for us to deal with. In most cases the inmates discharging are worse than when they were originally incarcerated.

If we could get past the shock of what she actually did, we also need to be asking ourselves, what is the best way to punish this person, and if it is incarceration.... why don't taxpayers want to fund programs aimed at rehabilitation, and reducing recidivism, or why aren't the penalties for this sort of crime a LOT harsher than they are right now? Either sentences need to be lengthened just to keep sex offenders off the streets if that is our goal, or do something with them while they are locked up if we are just gonan let them out in a few years.... All I see right now is a revolving door.. What's wrong with that picture?

I somewhat wonder if it wouldn't have been better for the boy to testify. Not that I would want him to have to relive that time in his life but I can't help but wonder if it wouldn't be crucial to his emotional healing to confront the offender and see that she got seriously punished. For an 8 yr old I cannot imagine the damage she's done. Not that it's easier on any other age, but 8 yrs old is a VERY formative age where it will take a lot for him to unlearn what she has 'taught' him. I am glad that his parents don't seem vindictive because that would make matters worse for him.

I wonder about whether the boy ought to testify as well.... I just hope he receives the counseling he obviously needs.

Well put. I can't imagine what karma could bring that could teach her a lesson. -?

there is a certain double standard going on here, if the perp. had been a male, authorities would have gone to trial, not allowed a plea deal. I hope this disturbed woman gets what she deserves to the extent of the law.

Ewwwhhh....the Bad Touch. Whenever I read one of these things, I have to think to myself that I don't have all the information.

Thats sick and wrong

Human Beings.....Wow.

actually... we are animals, and animals dont care about age. A minor is something society tells us... look at cats. cats can be born, as soon as they mature they can get preg... no amout of time till they are legal.

i for one think like an animal in some ways. I feel the idea of setteling down and marrying someone is crazy. this was brought on by religion. monkeys dont marry other monkeys. there are a few species that have one mate, but if we didnt have religion i dont feel we would be one of them.

I think that something with a child that young is wrong, because my parents and society taught me that. but what is the difference between a 17 yr and an 18 yr old... ehh maybe a few hairs?

hope this dosent make me look like so physcho rapist. its no ment that way...because im not a physco rapist@!

There are some real wackos out there.

No, you don't sound like a psycho, I get your point. But a 30 year old with an 8 year old? Thats too extreme in my book. The boy is still a baby. Do 8 year olds even get erections...I forget, myself. Never mind, carry on.
