My point is she should be punished just as he was.

Her parents are punishing her. The boy's parent(s) lost control of him and he violated a court order. He is almost 18 and she is 15. The ages, the willingness of a father and mother to protect their daughter, and the rebellion in a young man who will not obey the court (who knows what his mother told him ?) make it different.

Lambert ordered his daughter to stop seeing Bucchio, but Sandra Bucchio said the girl continued to telephone her son at odd hours of the night. The girl's parents eventually forbade her from using their phone or computer e-mail, but the pair found ways to rendezvous outside their homes.

Michael Lambert charged that Bucchio snuck around his house at night and slept in the back yard several times.

Sounds like the girl also wanted contact with the boy, given that she'd call him and her parents barred her from using the phone and e-mail. They found ways to meet anyway.

We'll see if their teen ardor has cooled after he does his 2 1/2 years in jail. And what happens after she turns 18 is anyone's guess.

Exactly dead on.
