“Does the Punishment Fit the Crime? ” So asks www. kolotv.com. in a brief article:

An Elko County woman convicted of forcing a 13-year-old boy to touch her breasts was sentenced to life in prison. Michelle Lyn Taylor, 34, was convicted of lewdenss with a minor under 14 in November. Taylor’s attorney, public defender Alina Kilpatrick says it is the harshest sentence ever dealt to a female sex offender in Nevada. Kilpatrick  called the sentence unconstitutional. “This is cruel and unusual punishment,” Kilpatrick said. “She put his hand on her boob while she was wearing a bra, now she’s getting life.”

Elko County District Attorney Gary Woodbury said Taylor was “convicted of precisely what she did,” and under the state sentencing guidelines, life in prison was mandatory. Woodbury says Taylor did not want to negotiate a plea deal because she did not want to have to register as a sex offender. Woodbury says Taylor felt her life would be over if she had to register (as a sex offender) so it wouldn’t matter what she was convicted of.  Woodbury says while it might be some adolescent male’s fantasy to have sex with a woman, in this case it was a traumatic event. The child has needed and continues to receive therapy.

She was arrested, prosecuted, and convicted at trial in 2010. Apparently, she was so drunk that she didn’t even recall what occurred exactly. And, apparently, she was found guilty of this heinous crime solely on the “he said/she said” uncorroborated testimony of a 13-year-old male. There was no physical evidence, obviously, nor any neutral witnesses.

According to some accounts, Taylor wanted to have sex with the young man. In the fantasy world inhabited by CSA victimologists, most of whom are women and nearly all of whom are feminists and left-liberals, and that of MRAs, the misogynist lunatics of the soi-disant “men’s rights movement,” and all those they’ve brainwashed, biological men under age 16 or 18 (and even “adults” of 18 if the woman is a teacher or tutor like Abigail Simon) are too impotent and innocent and paralyzed by fear to say “no” and reject the advances of a female who is an adult and at least 4-5 years older -albeit they are horrified and repulsed by the prospect of having sex with them even if they’re as ravishing as Debra Lafave or as lovely as Mary Letourneau. But in this situation, obviously, a 13-year-old male was fully capable of saying “no” and resisting a woman’s advances and importunities, probably because she was overweight, unattractive, and sloppy drunk.

“A traumatic event” and “the child has needed and continues to receive therapy.” To MRAs and CSA victimologists, all such “events” -whether love affairs or trysts or even a single act of “sexual contact”- are “non-consensual”  and coercive by definition and “traumatic” for the “child” and “victim” irrespective of the facts and circumstances. The young men are “victims” of “rape” and CSA even if they were the aggressors and initiators and even if they raped and/or molested their “victimizers.’ And they’re devastated and “traumatized”  and must be subjected to months or even years of psycho-therapy, even if they claim to have enjoyed the sex, whether coitus or fellatio or simply kissing and fondling and “sexual contact,” because they did enjoy it many or  or a few times or just once , usually far more than the women who “raped” and “molested” them, and thus are not aware of being “traumatized” because, in fact as opposed to fantasy,  they were and are not “traumatized.”

In reality, any “trauma” he suffered was a corollary of Nevada’s draconian sex-crime laws, the criminal justice system, the trial, cross-examination, the media coverage, and mandatory psycho-therapy which in theory can only cure or mollify his “trauma” by persuading him that he was “traumatized” and “scarred for life” by touching a woman breast while she was wearing a bra, not by the act of touching a woman’s breast in private, And how can a woman “force” a young man to touch her breast “against his will” if he’s bigger and stronger than her?

It would be interesting and revealing to know the average time-served in Nevada for males convicted of violent crimes: aggravated assaults, robbery, violent/forcible rapes, gang shootings, home invasions, murder, etc. And I’m sure that over 90% of the males who commit such felonies are recidivists, a majority  of whom should have been in prison rather than free to commit more violent and mala in se felonies. And what is the average time-served in jail or prison for adult men who have sex with underage teenagers?

And are men guilty of a felony with a mandatory sentence of life in prison if convicted at trial of forcing adolescent girls under age 14 to touch their chests while clothed? Men don’t have breasts, of course, but they have nipples. And women are guilty of felonies and defined and vilified as “rapists” for engaging in coitus with biological men under statutory age even though they don’t have penises with which to penetrate and impregnate their “victims.”

The public defender noted that the woman was wearing a bra when she allegedly “forced” the young man to touch her breast. I assume that she would have received a life sentence if she was wearing not only a bra but also a blouse or sweater or winter coat when she allegedly “forced” him to touch her breast.

Finally, if a young man of 13 or 14 or 15  (or even 16 or 17 in states in which the generic age of consent is 17 or 18 rather than 16) is “traumatized” by touching an adult woman’s breast while she’s fully clothed or wearing a bra, then what of infants who suck their mother’s nipples every day during months of breast-feeding? Should breast-feeding be criminalized, as a felony, at least if the mother claims that she enjoys the sensations of her baby sucking her nipples and finds it at least mildly erotic? Or in all instances, with all the penalties that are inflicted on adult women who have affairs or trysts or engage in a single act of sexual contact with biological men under statutory age?
