    It’s refreshing to see an accurately worded headline in a case like this. Usually they go with “sex with a minor” instead of “rape”, when the perpetrator is a woman.

    Having said that, the sentence is way too damn lenient. She preyed on a minor. She should be punished way more than that.

      I’d even argue that beyond just statutory rape, she should’ve been charged with various abuse of position/power (usually with statutory rape it’s a factor in sentencing), since she was the mayor at the time.
