Woman Gets No Jail in Child Sex Case

(United Kingdom) Here’s a molestation case that has many people chafed. A judge has ruled that a middle-aged woman was seduced by a 14-year-old, therefore, she was allowed to walk away from court without any jail sentence..

Sharon Edwards, 40, walked away from Teeside Crown Court after the judge ruled that she had been flattered by the boy's attention as a result of feeling trapped in an unhappy marriage and had let herself be seduced by him.

The court heard that Edwards had sex with the boy a total of four times between September 2007 and January 2008. […]

Judge Peter Fox QC told her: "You have been a very unhappy lady for a very considerable period of time when this 14-year-old boy seduced you and not you him both so far as sexual matters and as far as drugs are concerned."

Edwards pleaded guilty to four counts of sexual activity with a child and was given a suspended sentence. She will, however, have to register as a sex offender for five years.
