Judge rejects plea deal of probation for woman who sexually abused boy, saying "it's an offense where the community would demand full justice if the gender roles were reversed"

I know this article is a few weeks old, but I never saw it until now and thought it would be nice to share some good news for once. At least some judges are willing to treat boys equally.

It's a shame he actually has to justify giving her the punishment she deserves.

It's a good thing that judges insert commentaries like this in their statements, calling out double-standards when they see them.

In effect, he's saying "pussy pass denied".

At least this judge cares about justice--not just with denying the plea deal but with his blatantly calling out the double standard. If only he represented a majority of the judges, but I hope it's not too optimistic to say that it does seem like gradually--very gradually--society is starting to notice women-predators/male victims, and most importantly seriously consider the phenomenon and the damage it causes

Certainly there are still many judges handing out the pussy-pass, but back not to long ago when I was younger--and even more so when my father was younger and this happened to us--there really was no serious, public discourse going on about female sexual abusers, apart from the cliche jokes praising boys "losing their virginity" to older women

Of course these cliches are still very much alive, but I also see them being called out and refuted these days by judges and in articles and in comment-sections etc. far more often than when I was younger and literally the only thing I saw were jokes about it. Maybe things are slowly moving in the right direction

If the Alford plea was accepted, the recommended sentence was 10 years suspended, meaning she’d be on probation for the duration of the sentence. Kutzman said that recommendation was too lenient for the nature of the crime.

She got the kid wasted and did something to him. The prosecuter, whos sole purpose is to see that justice is sought, wanted to get this woman out to abuse again with such little resistance that the Kutzman had to step in. At least the judge wasn't in a rush to call his boyfriend.

I agree with the mother in this instance.

“I do not want something harsher than she deserves,” the mother said, “but it was a crime.”

Seems like more and more judges are seeing the light. Let's keep it up!

Equality.

But she's a woman. How can she take care of her kids from prison? God damn patriarchy keeping women unfairly locked up. /s

a Good outcome for a change

Now we don't have to put guns in the hands of the boy like that one guy said.

It would be nice to see this work in the gender-reversed situation.

But the system needs its pound of flesh.
