'A former NFL cheerleader accused of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old boy in his Murfreesboro home received probation Monday as part of pleading no contest to a reduced charge of felony reckless endangerment.

Elizabeth Leigh Garner, 42, who cheered for the Tennessee Titans in 2005, 2006 and 2008, received 18 months probation and a $500 fine when she appeared in court in October.

She was originally charged on March 14 with aggravated sexual battery and solicitation of a minor for rape of a child, according to her arrest report.

As a condition of Gardner’s probation, she is required to attend Narcotics Anonymous or Alcoholics Anonymous twice a week, have no contact with the victim and his family, and submit to drug testing.'

First thing an addict needs to learn is accountability, which is the necessary pre-requisite for taking responsibility for one's actions. Sexual molestation of a minor (esp. one this young) is a serious criminal act. They're basically letting her off.

Do I need to say that if the sexes were reversed, the perp'd be sentenced to hard time, with the stipulation he get treatment for his addictions behind bars? No, I needn't say that. But I did.
