Statutory Rape of A Boy - No big deal!

Dittohd writes "Have you seen this yet? In Houston, a 27 year old woman teacher at a private school was convicted of having sex with a 13 year old boy over a seven month period and got 30 days in jail, a $500 fine, and 10 years probation. This sentence was given by a woman judge. According to TV accounts, there is an "uproar" over this light sentence.I wonder how much of an uproar there really is and I also wonder how hard it would be to depose a judge who hands out a sentence like this, whether or not she is an elected judge. I know judges are supposed to be "permanent" in many cases, but I wonder how difficult it would be to overcome this obstacle. Anyone here have ideas on such a possibility?" The Gonzo Kid also submitted this story and said "30 days, and a $500 fine for a 27 year old female teacher having sex with a male student. Guys, I'm absolutely speechless for the moment. Especially since I know of someone who got 90 days and a thousand dollar fine for a petty offense."
