New Mexican Woman Gets Probation in Sex Case - Updated

(Farmington, New Mexico) Thirty-two-year-old Amanda Polanco pleaded guilty per an agreement to criminal sexual penetration of a minor and was sentenced to 18 months of supervised probation.

She initially faced four counts from incidents that occurred between March 21 and April 18.

State District Judge Thomas Hynes agreed Monday to give Polanco a conditional discharge. She won't have a criminal record after completing probation, including court-ordered therapy.

The boy's mother told Hynes that Polanco, who has three children, was trying to get pregnant by her son.

It's arguable but I suggest the court didn't solve any problems. The perpetrator is not being subjected to any substantive punishment and the victim's mother is still complaining.
