Justice?

A 22-year-old man has been sentenced to a year in jail for having sex with a 13-year-old girl. Making it even better, her MySpace page says she is a 19-year-old divorcee and has videos of her dancing very suggestively. And, to top it all off, this is not the first guy she has done this to.

Now, I whole-heartedly support people not jumping in the sack until they are in a marital relationship; but I know that humans being the creatures they are, it is going to happen. So how can a case like this be called justice? This isn't a rape. This isn't a teacher sleeping with a student. No, this is a young girl who looks older, knows it, and uses that to deceive men and then get them into trouble. She is suffering no consequences from this from either the law or her parents who admit she still "stays out late" and only in the last few days has her MySpace page been taken down. Morris Williams, the most recent man going to jail went to her father after he started to suspect the girl was younger than she had been saying. We can debate the brains behind that move, but the point is that this guy is not some dirty pedo who needs to be locked up and branded a sex offender for the rest of his life.

This girl is only 13 years old and she has already ruined two men's lives. How many more times will it happen before her parents do something about it?
