Woman Gets 50 Months for Sex Abuse of Boy

(Hillsboro, Oregon) A 29-year-old woman, Candace Gilman, pleaded guilty to attempted sex abuse of a boy under 14 years of age and was sentenced to 50 months in prison. In accordance with the plea agreement, two counts of child rape and one count of sex abuse were dismissed.

Gilman's defense was that she was abused as a child and had been using methamphetamines.

Sniff ....

In addition to 50 months in prison, Washington County Circuit Court Judge Thomas Kohl gave Gilman three years probation and required her to register as a sex offender. Gilman is eligible for alternative sentencing which means time is reduced for good behavior and time served. Given that the justice system has been demonstrating outlandish leniency toward female child sex offenders, my guess would be that she won't do more than 18 months.
