20-YO woman gets 4 years for raping 12-YO boy

Story here. Excerpt:

'A 20-year-old West Chester Township woman not only stole a 12-year-old boy’s innocence, she also robbed him of dignity when she had sexual contact with him, his mother told a judge this week.

“He was very disturbed, embarrassed and ashamed,” an assistant prosecutor said, summarizing a statement the boy’s mother read during Jennifer L. Whitson’s sentencing in Butler County Common Pleas Court on Tuesday.

Whitson’s lawyer, Christopher Alexander of Mason, said he questions whether the encounter was the boy’s first sexual experience. He also said his client used no force, that the contact was “very quick” and stopped short of intercourse. Even so, Alexander said, “I’m sure it’s going to have a lasting effect on that young man.”'
