If this were a man, he'd have the book thrown at him. But yet again the unequal treatment of men vs women continues.

A 31-year-old woman who admitted to having sex with a 13-year-old boy and getting pregnant with his child will serve no jail time, according to reports.

"I feel like if she was a man, and he was a little girl, it would definitely be different," the victim’s mother said. "They would be seeking more. I feel like because he is not a woman, they are not. They are having compassion for her."

The Fountain Police Department in Colorado arrested Andrea Serrano in June 2022 on felony charges of sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust and sexual assault on a child.

Serrano allegedly admitted to police that she had sex with the teenager, who remains unidentified due to his age, and they detained her in El Paso County Criminal Justice Center while her case has remained ongoing.

But now Serrano may go free and face no jail time for her crime after agreeing to a plea deal with prosecutors, who dropped the original charges to a lesser offense that does not require jail time.

The deal, reviewed by KKTV in Colorado, would require Serrano to register as a sex offender, and she could face a requirement of 10 years to life on sex offender intensive supervised probation.

The victim’s family is looking at next steps in the case as they believe his life has been irrevocably changed by Serrano’s actions.

"I feel like my son is robbed of his childhood. Now he’s having to be a father. He’s a victim, and he’s going to have to live with that for the rest of his life," the victim’s mother told KKTV.

She has demanded an explanation as to why Serrano will face no jail time for her crime, and has revealed that the family will seek sole custody of Serrano’s child fathered by the victim.

The Fountain Police Department did not respond to a Fox News Digital request for comment by time of publication.

Sadly I suspect she'd be able to successfully get the government to make the boy and his family provide child support if she retains custody.

Don't worry, Hypatia_Alexandria will be along to be an apologetic for child rape, telling us you can't rape a 13 year old boy.

From the same state that has legalized drug use. Why am I not surprised?

Yeah you can leave the thread or get on topic.

You'll have to explain how my comment is off topic. We're talking about a woman raping a 13 year old boy and getting away with it in a state that leans hard left, which, I think, is notable, because "soft on crime" is a distinctly liberal trait.

This thread has nothing to do with drugs or drug legality or drug policy. It is about the inequality in treatment between female rapists and male rapists of children, which is something that occurs all around the country.

Now since you didn't listen to my request, leave the thread. Now.

I think it's rather obvious that Colorado's "soft on crime" politics (as exemplified by its recent stance on narcotics) is also a contributing factor, but if you prefer not to have an honest discussion about these things, I will respect your request to leave the thread.

There is no evidence that drug use was involved. 'Red Herring' big time.

I could see both sides on whether the penalties should be exactly the same since there is somewhat of a slight difference in that an adult woman is less likely to be able to physically overpower a teen boy than vice versa. But zero jail time isn't acceptable.

A lot of statutory rape isn't forced physically but done through psychological manipulation. Where physical force is involved add an extra penalty regardless and where it isn't have the same charges.

Two cases here within 6 months of each other a few years back. One was a male teacher who had sex with two high school senior women (16 - 17 year old) who were willing partners. He got hefty jail time.
The other was a female teacher who threatened and coerced a junior high school boy (13) into having sex - she got no jail time.
Different states, but the actual laws aren't that much different, and don't take into account the gender of the offender.

Female privilege?

There are those who don't take crimes against males seriously.

I mean, on this site we have Hypatia_Alexandria on record questioning whether a boy can actually BE raped...

[Christianbookworm]

Many 13 year old boys are still pretty scrawny. And naive.

As others have noted, in many of these cases (statutory rape) there is little to no actual physical force/coercion. Rather it's psychological and abuse of position/authority/trust. And very typically the female perpetrators will receive little to no jail time in comparison to males.

A lot of statutory rape isn't forced physically but done through psychological manipulation. Where physical force is involved add an extra penalty regardless and where it isn't have the same charges.

The risk of pregnancy is also a major factor, and a very physical one at that. It would be far more harmful for a 13 year old girl to become pregnant than an adult woman.

Which is not to downplay the seriousness, but rather to argue for perhaps *more* time when it's a younger girl.
