HANOVER, Va. (AP) — A science teacher has been sentenced to serve two years in
prison for taking indecent liberties with a student at the Virginia high school where she worked.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports a judge formally accepted a plea agreement Friday
between Hanover County prosecutors and 35-year-old Miranda Nicole Pauley. She had
pleaded guilty to four indecent liberties counts in October and also pleaded guilty to using
a communications system to solicit a minor.

More of the "women are fragile creatures" bullshit that needs to go away, precisely because of things like this. Rape hurts everyone.

[Geel]

She was put in prison for two years for 4 charges of "indecent liberties" with a minor.

So what exactly did she do?

I'm willing to believe this is an instance of the justice system yet again not providing justice when dealing with women -- the sentencing disparity between women and men is larger than the disparity between whites and blacks -- but unless they severely undercharged her, it doesn't sound exactly like rape.

Genuine question: are women legally capable of rape in the US?

[Garry #2]

yes

[Somepotato]

same place that imprisoned someone for 30 years for raping someone, who more than likely didn't actually do it and refused to exonerate him

[Owlz!]

I only asked because women in the UK can't be rapists, legally speaking. I promise I wasn't just being moronic.

[proboardslol]

I think it depends on the state

[Venomousbeetle]

Is the child molesters facing hell from other prisoners thing gender discriminate or does it happen in women prisons too
