The Double Standards of sentences for identical crimes

And even worse, there are double standards right in the news articles themselves. Note how the woman "had sexual relations" with a 15-year old, but that the man "raped" his daughter. Last I checked, statutory rape involves sexual contact with anyone below the age of consent, but I guess it's different somehow when an adult woman ~~rapes~~ is seduced by a boy.

Also, I can't believe it gets worse, but why does the second article use the word "allegedly" in its lead to describe the woman's crimes? In the second paragraph it states that she pled guilty, so the "allegedly" description is no longer required. FFS, this whole thing appears to be horribly and deliberately written in the most misleading way possible as to try to excuse the court's unjust decision.

We all agree there's a difference in penalties here. How can we get to the core reason? Why is there a difference?

It is fucked up but the crimes happened in different countries and therefore are tough to compare sentences. You couldn't have found a case of a mother raping her son in California or even anywhere else in the USA to compare ?

The man raped his daughter for 4 years, the mother had consentual sex with her son. No I don't think these two cases should carry a similar sentence. There are plenty of men avoiding prison over statutory rape
