I totally disagree. And what kind of parent's doesn't want an adult who slept with their 13 year old child to go to jail? Are they more worried about the maid or the child? Why did the one mother call the police if she didn't want the woman prosecuted? It won't stop the cycle unless this woman is truly sorry and gets professional counseling.
It is a total double standard, and not fair. If they would come down on the female predators as hard as they did the males, it just might make an example out of them. Instead, it's a slap on the wrist and says that it's ok to have sex with children.

Do you think Maureen Lirette should have been sentenced to jail time?
47-year-old Maureen Lirette plead guilty to charges on carnal knowledge of a juvenile, admitting that she had sex with several teen boys, two of whom were only thirteen. However, the boys' families requested that she not receive jail time, so she was sentenced to serve five years probation and register as a sex offender. The presiding judge expressed frustration with the "double standard," saying that if a man had plead guilty to the same charges, he would have received a much more sever sentence. Do you agree or disagree? Do you think the sentence was fair and that the families' involved should have a say in defendant's potential sentences as stipulated by the Louisiana state constitution?
