Utah Woman Gets Year for Sex with Girl - Updated

(Farmington, Utah) Yesterday, 37-year-old Kerrie Lyn Ferguson appeared in court to be sentenced for engaging in sex with a 15-year-old girl.

A judge in Farmington sentenced 37-year-old Kerrie Lyn Ferguson to 12 months in jail, but also ruled she will be eligible for work release after 90 days.

Ferguson will also be on 36 months probation.

Ferguson was arrested last year after Davis County sheriff's deputies caught her with the teen inside a car at a city park parking lot.

As part of a plea deal, prosecutors dropped two counts of unlawful sexual activity with a minor.

So, a 37-year-old woman does same-sex jiggy-jiggy with a 15-year-old girl and gets one year in jail with work privileges. Compared to what a man would have received given the same circumstances, I suggest Ferguson should make sure the judge is on her Christmas list. She has been given a gift. (h/t Lame)

Utah Woman Caught with Girl
[Previous 8/19/09 post]
(Farmington, Utah) A 37-year-old area woman, Kerri Lynn Ferguson (aka Kerrie Lyn Ferguson), was arrested Sunday by a Davis County Sheriff's deputy who caught her "in the act" with a 15-year-old girl.

Ferguson faces four counts of forcible sexual abuse.

According to the probable cause statement, Ferguson had a sexual relationship with the 15-year-old girl from March until August.

According to the initial police report received by a Government Records Access Management Act request from the Davis County Attorney's Office, after the deputy found the two in the vehicle, he talked to the teenage girl first to find out what was going on.

She admitted to "other prior sexual incidents" with Ferguson, according to the police report.

The deputy then asked his supervisor to respond to the scene. After being read her Miranda rights, Ferguson agreed to talk to officers and admitted to the sexual contact.

Ferguson was booked into custody at the Davis County Jail and released Monday on $50,000 bond.
