Woman Gets Prison in Child Porn Case - Updated

(Buffalo, New York) Mother-of-five Angie Jenkins gets prison.

A Michigan woman who developed a sexual relationship with a teenage boy she met through an online game has been sentenced to more than seven years in prison.

The U.S. Attorney's Office in Buffalo says 35-year-old Angie Jenkins of Lowell, Mich. received an 87-month prison term Thursday and was ordered to pay $4,480 restitution to the Buffalo, N.Y., victim.

One has to wonder what goes on in the mind of a 35-year-old woman which makes her engage in sexual communications with a minor and travel hundreds of miles across state lines to have illegal sex with the boy. Really, couldn't she find a 15-year-old in her home state?

Female Online Gamer Faces Child Sex Charges
[Previous 9/23/10 post]
(Buffalo, New York) A 35-year-old Michigan woman, Angie L. Jenkins, has been accused in federal court with the crime of using the Internet to entice an underage person into sexual activity.

Jenkins, who appeared Tuesday in Buffalo's federal court, is from Lowell, Mich., near Grand Rapids. She traveled to Amherst on June 11 to meet a 16-year-old from the Buffalo area and have sex with him in a car parked in a department store parking lot on Transit Road, FBI agents said.

The youth was 15 when he met Jenkins online and was 16 when they had sex, Assistant U.S. Attorney Aaron J. Mango said.[…]

During a brief court proceeding on the felony charge, Jenkins told U.S. Magistrate Judge Hugh B. Scott that she has five children, has been married twice and receives public assistance.

There have been other instances where adult females have seemingly become enamored by boys playing Internet games. I don't understand the attraction.
