Woman Who Raped Boy Walks Free

A 19-year old Australian woman who had sex with a 13-year old boy as part of a "truth or dare" game was given a 12 month prison sentence but was "ordered not be sent to jail and that the term be served as part of an intensive correction order." This is despite the fact that the judge claims "the woman's conduct should be considered as serious as that of a man who had preyed on a young female."

She said the boy experienced on-going embarrassment, guilt about his mother's distress and required on-going counselling." Read the article here a>.Source: The Courier-Mail [Australian newspaper]
