a mandatory life sentence, and Memeo set parole eligibility after 10 years, the minimum sentence. If released on parole she must register as a sex offender and will be under lifetime supervision. Gotta love these sentences. Mandatory life sentence, but we'll probably parole you, and then you'll have to do some paperwork.

There are some things even 13-year old boys wont do...
She probably traded him a pocket knife with two blades,
a screw driver/can opener, and a corkscrew.
As the punch line goes...” Yes, now I’m young and beautiful
but some day I’ll be old and wrinkled and you’d be surprised
what a boy scout will do for a pocket knife with two
blades, a screwdriver, and a corkscrew!!”

Lets bring back walking the plank Based on the picture, harpooning would be more appropriate. Of course, the Sea Shepard guys would protest her conviction.

We do not agree. 13 year old boys know the difference between flabby and nice. It is in our DNA. The boy was abused.

Such are shortcomings of mandatory minimum sentencing.
BS, the DA and/or judge is probably a liberal and opposed to mandatory minimum sentences. He used this woman as a tool by charging her with a technically appropriate but morally ridiculous crime. A DA without an agenda would have made her plea down to something like endangering the welfare of a minor. Mandatory minimums piss off lawyers because the lack of recidivists cuts into their profits.

I’m guessing she has at least two prior felony convictions.
To: OldDeckHand
Well hey, the kid has some standards at least, if he had to be forced.

You know a woman is ugly when she has to force a 13 year old boy to touch her boobs!
Lock her up and throw away the key.
Justice is served.

Memeo set parole eligibility after 10 years I understand Nevada has some of the highest crime rates in the country, but this is outrageous.

“She is getting a greater penalty for having a boy touch her breast than if she killed him
something’s messed up in the state penal code?

"A DA without an agenda would have made her plea down to something like endangering the welfare of a minor." Well, I'm not sure how many cases you've prosecuted, but I've prosecuted a fair share. You can't make anyone plead down to anything. You charge them with the most serious crime you can prove beyond a reasonable doubt, and perhaps you hope that the accused will plead down.
Since you're happy to assume facts not in evidence, I'll do the same. She probably took it to the box thinking that she'd beat the rap, considering the disproportionate sentence. Her counsel may not have realized that a discussion about the mandatory sentence wouldn't have been allowed at trial.
Frequently, prosecutions are games of chicken and whomever blinks first loses. Sometimes, you don't blink, but you still lose. I've seen it happen PLENTY of times.

Maybe she tried to bribe the judge with sex?

"Mandatory life sentence, but we'll probably parole you, and then you'll have to do some paperwork." I'm not familiar with NV law, but I'd guess they probably have life with possibility of parole, and life without possibility. This was the former, not the later.
To: MARTIAL MONK
"Maybe she tried to bribe the judge with sex?" Unless the judge was Shamu, or cro-magnon man, that's not going to help.
To: MARTIAL MONK
Maybe she tried to bribe the judge with sex? By the looks of the long sentence, I'd say she declined the judges advances.

Well you did not even have to click through, just read the article to the last paragraph to get to:
“The district attorneys office did not offer a plea agreement in the case, ...”
Maybe the PD is lying about this, but I doubt it.
