Oregon Woman Gets 60 Days for Sex with Boys

(Vale, Oregon) A 49-year-old woman, Janis Ribeiro, pleaded guilty Tuesday in Malheur County Circuit Court to charges of felony sex with two 15-year-old boys.

The felony sex abuse offenses occurred between April and May 2007 and police were alerted by the parents of one boy and an adult friend of the other boy.

According to police reports, Ribeiro, in some instances, met with the two boys -- both 15 at the time of the incidents -- at night, picking them up outside their homes. Then Ribeiro and the victims would drive to a secluded location where they engaged in sexual intercourse and/or oral sex.

In accordance with a plea agreement, Ribeiro was sentenced to 60 days in the Malheur County Jail with 30 days on work release. She was also assessed about $1,000 in fees.

Although the parents of one of the boys expressed dissatisfaction with the sentence, the judge reportedly imposed the maximum punishment under Oregon state law.
