WOMAN GETS OFF EASY: Australia: Lonely single mother avoids jail for sex with 15-year-old boy.

Henry originally was charged with rape but a jury convicted her of unlawful sexual intercourse.

Judge Paul Cuthbertson said the verdict suggested the boy either agreed to have sex or Henry failed to realise he did not agree.

He said Henry was a lonely single mother of three and in some respects she was someone to be pitied.

“Life has not dealt you a good hand of cards,” he said.

That “prone to molesting boys” card is particularly rough — or it would be, were she a man:

A two-year jail sentence was suspended and Henry was given a three-year good behaviour bond.
