I agree that if the roles had been reversed, the sentence would have been harsher. Then again, looking at it from a rational standpoint, I think she got a raw deal because she didn't harm anyone, and the relationship was consensual (though not in the legal sense). It seems like a waste of money to put a woman in prison for the mere act of having sex when there are violent offenders out there roaming the streets. And yes, my feelings concerning male statutory rapists are similar. Once two sexually mature people decide to have sex, the State shouldn't have the right to play God and decide what is right or wrong.
