Former teacher's aide gets diversion for sex with boy

This woman was originally charged with two counts of aggravated statutory rape and solicitation of a minor involving a 16-year-old boy. The "aggravated" implies this wasn't merely a horny sixteen year old gladly consenting.

Martin has now been granted a "diversion". If she's a good girl for a couple of years we all have to pretend it never happened. Her slate is wiped completely clean. I'm surprised they didn't order a Bex and a lie-down: Former teacher's aide gets diversion for sex with boy

Putting aside the gender double standard and the "sex with boy" headline it seems that McMinn County in Tennessee is incapable of punishing a female rapist and is even willing to send her back into the environment in which she abused the friend of one of her children.

A couple of years ago I satirically promoted my state of Victoria in Australia as a five star destination for female ephebepiles due to our track record of zero punishment for women who'd raped boys. That idea is permanently shelved in light of McMinn County's effort. Can't compete with that.
