Girl Scout Leader Gets 25 Years For Child Sexual Assault

 Allison Wean is being sent to prison.

I'm posting this here for reference.  People will say that women don't get punished for the same sex crimes that men do, or women receive probation only, or that women receive some automatic leniency.  Actually the reverse is true. Officer Timothy Barber repeatedly raped a minor while on duty and pled down to probation only, unlike Allison Wean.

I remember the case of some police officer, I want to say he was in Louisiana.  He appeared to have done some rather overt sexual misconduct on traffic stops and been caught -- good.  But the sentencing he received seemed highly disproportionate.  For example Daniel Holtzclaw got something like 13-15 years per charge, and the African-American officer in Lousiana had gotten something like 50 years per charge.

That's how this case appears to me.  Like the Louisiana officer, I'm not arguing that Wean is any less despicable.  She groomed and abused this child.  She's going to prison, that's good.   I'm pointing out that the justice system went, "Bing, bang, boom, bye, lady, you're a child molester."  And that this is contrary to the many narratives that will appear in the YouTube comments below the video.

Meanwhile, all my life, male molesters have been running amok without consequences, raping and even murdering children and adult women multiple times under the refrain "boys will be boys." 

I've never been an advocate for "girls will be girls."  I think the only people calling for leniency for Ms. Wean were members of her family.
