Note the article refers to "an affair" and "a relationship" rather than repeated molestation/statutory rape/rape due to the victim being under the influence."

Unequal Treatment Under The Law (Score:2) by Luek on 10:36 AM May 5th, 2006 EST (#1) http://www.courttv.com/news/2006/0504/carl_moore_a p.html Well, at least she got sentenced to 20 years which means at most 10 with good behavior. However, the link above is about a man who was sentenced to LIFE who did not have sex with a minor but simply touched her vaginal area. This man is very ill and what he did is not acceptable but sentenced to life when a woman who actually had intercourse with a minor over a period of time gets a much reduced sentence then it is obvious that there is gender bias in the court system. Big surprise huh?

But, yeah at least THIS women did get jail time. Frequently they either get very little jail time (especially when compared to a man convicted of the same crime) or no jail time at all. The system is SICK. plain and simple   Thundercloud.   "Hoka hey!"
