New York Woman Sentenced in Child Rape Case

(Lockport, New York) A 36-year-old woman from Medina in neighboring Orleans County, Sherrie L. Joy, has pleaded guilty in Niagara County Court to 3rd degree rape of 15-year-old boy.

As a result, Niagara County Judge Sara Sheldon Sperrazza sentenced Joy to six months in jail in conjunction with 10 years probation.

Interestingly, it's reported that most of the sex (all but one episode) associated with the lengthy relationship with the boy occurred in Orleans County but Joy avoided prosecution in that jurisdiction by accepting the plea deal in Niagara County. Lenient? You make the call.
