Abuja - A 21-year-old UK woman has been sentenced to two years in prison after being found guilty of having a long-term sexual relationship with a child (not her own), reported the Mail Online.
According to the report, she had been 16 when she began sleeping with the boy who was eight years old at the time. She was caught when the boy began bragging about the affair at school; he claims they slept together up to 50 times.
The immaturity factor
The woman, who is now a mother, was found to be highly immature by the judge concerned, who sentenced her to two years, of which she’ll only serve 12 months. This, the judge said, was to prevent further embarrassment for the woman and her family and to assist her in rebuilding her life. He also inferred that she was a low risk to re-offend and that she understood that what she’d done was wrong. In addition, she’ll be placed on the sexual offender’s registry for ten years and will not be allowed contact with children under the age of 16.
