Interesting that she works as a Paralegal — I doubt very much that she could practice law in any state with this type of record!

I can’t believe the verdict. She doesn’t even have to spend time in Milwaukee jail. She gets to go to Jefferson County to work for her dear daddy who paid off a California family she did the same thing to. Can you believe people get more time in jail for smaller crimes, but she goes and sexually assults a young boy and all she gets is a slap in the wrist, 25 days in jail, 2 years probation and only to have to register as a sex offender for 2 years. Unbelievable. Atleast they could have made her register for life. My heart goes out to the boy and his family. So much innocence was lost. Once a sex offender always a sex offender.

She is pleading guilty and will be sentenced on August 26th, 2008. Let’s just hope she does not get off with a slap on the wrist sentence because she is pleading out.
