Woman who forced girls into sex sentenced to 1 year in jail - "significantly lower than the standard range of seven years and nine months to 10 years and three months in prison."

One important result from Table 6 is that females receive even shorter sentences relative to men that whites relative to blacks. The discrimination literature generally argues that females are objects of discrimination and receive worse outcomes. In sentencing, however, women receive better outcomes, consistent with women's being treated paternalistically in court. Although some contend that sentencing guidelines harm, women, studies have usually concluded that females are sentenced more leniently than males.

Pretty blatant sexism [misandry.]

And she can serve most of that on work release. Apparently rape by proxy is cool as long as the perp is female. Fuck the judge.

Personally, I think that 7-10 years is too low a sentence for ANYONE.

Read toward the end of the article where it states that she was a victim and is thus being let off easy (along with cooperation). On the other hand, when a male experience sexual abuse as a child, instead of people going easy on him, they treat him like he is a child molester just waiting for his first victim due to the FALSE notion that being abused makes a male more likely to abuse.

Judge Craig Matheson granted the exceptional sentence after finding "substantial and compelling reasons exist" to justify it.

Any takers on the "substantial and compelling reasons" had something to do with her gender?

That's just ridiculous. Men who pimp children get a lot more than that. Everybody who pimps children should be out in a year or less. They're just trying to run a business, like anyone else.
