Regardless of whether or not the boy develops any problems from these encounters, the fact remains that he is not old enough to make proper decisions about his life by law. Do you think that's unfair that we have laws to protect someone who may not fully understand the choice they are making? Is a 14 year-old fully conscious of his or her actions? What about a 12 year-old? Or an 8 year-old? Where do you draw the line? Sure, some 14 year-olds may be more mature than others, but the exceptions don't invalidate the rules and most aren't.
If we're going to have a truly equal justice system, it would be totally unfair to NOT give this woman the same punishment as a case where a man had sex a 14 year-old girl. That woman you were talking about, I forget her name, but she didn't get any jail time from what I remember, from the first case. She didn't get jail time until she went BACK to him after supposedly being rehabbed. And didn't she have a kid with him? Crazy. Shouldn't she have been locked up the first time?
