WOMAN MOLESTS BOY, GETS ONE YEAR

For the UK Telegraph, Richard Savill reports this story of a woman convicted of serial child molestation.

A woman of 36 who had sexual intercourse with a 14-year-old boy was jailed for a year yesterday.

The judge told Amanda James she was "truly a predator" after she was found guilty of indecently assaulting Mathew Adlam.

The court was told they had a two-year affair during which James had an abortion.

James, a mother of four, had a previous conviction for indecently assaulting a 12-year-old boy.

This case shows that child molesters are not always men. I think it also shows that women face considerably more lenient punishment than men in similar circumstances. If this happened in the US, the molester would have been designated a "sexual predator" also.
