Woman Gets 2 Years for Sex with Boy, 12

(Portage, Wisconsin) In January 2006, Andrea M. Yurowski was charged with three counts of first-degree sexual assault of a child for engaging in sex on multiple occasions with a 12-year-old neighbor boy. Court records indicate that Yurowski professed her love for the child.

In accordance with an agreement which avoided a trial, Yurowski pleaded no contest to one count of first-degree sexual assault of a child.

According to the criminal complaint, the victim told police he had sexual intercourse with Yurowski, who lived in the upper level of a duplex in Randolph, approximately three times. The victim and his family lived in the lower level of the duplex.

The first incident occurred shortly after the victim received an underage drinking ticket at Yurowski's residence. While watching television, according to the complaint, Yurowski kissed him and began rubbing his genitals outside of his pants, and later engaged in sexual intercourse.

After the incident, Yurowski said she loved the victim, and did so on several other subsequent occasions.

Yesterday in Columbia County Circuit Court, 27-year-old Yurowski was sentenced to two years in prison and eight years of extended supervision. The victim's mother expressed disappointment that Yurowski did not receive more prison time, stating, "You not only sexually assaulted him, you changed him. He's a different boy."

Judge Alan J. White said it was a "tough case" but did "not feel the protection of the community warrants you being put away for an extensive period of time." As a result, the prosecution's recommendation of five years prison time was not followed. No information was disclosed as to whether Yurowski will be required to register as a sex offender.
