Rayenell Carmona Gets Prison for Sex with Boy

(Pocatello, Idaho) In May 2006, 27-year-old neighborhood woman, Rayenell Carmona Underwood, was arrested for having sex with a 14-year-old boy on numerous occasions and, subsequently, rearrested for violating a no-contact order. She claimed that she couldn't help herself because she loved the boy.

In October, Carmona pleaded guilty to lewd contact with a minor before Sixth District Judge Ronald Bush. Sentencing was originally scheduled for December but was delayed.

Yesterday, Judge Bush sentenced Carmona to 12 years in prison with no possibility of parole until she has served three years. The sentence was contrary to the "retained jurisdiction program" recommended by the prosecution.

The sentence was, however, consistent with my recommendation in a previous post. It makes me wonder if Judge Bush reads my blog. Nah! I'm sure it's just a coincidence.
