A WOMAN who had sex with four teenage boys has walked free from court after being handed a suspended prison sentence. Laura O'Donnell, 20, pleaded guilty and was convicted in the County Court of four counts of sexual penetration of a child under 16 and five counts of committing an indecent act with a child under 16.
Court documents reveal she plied the boys, aged 12, 15, and two aged 14, with alcohol on three separate occasions. The first two involved one victim and the third, all four.
Documents show O'Donnell, who had trained to be a childcare worker, assaulted the boys while drunk between February and June last year in Ballarat .
Judge Sue Pullen wholly suspended O'Donnell's two-year, five-month sentence and placed her on an 18-month community-based order despite her previously breaching a similar order for an attempted robbery.
A report handed to Judge Pullen by a community corrections officer said O'Donnell repeatedly breached her 125-hour order and even failed to attend an assessment for the order she was eventually granted.
The judge attributed her offending to a troubled background, low self-esteem and alcohol abuse.
Crime Victims Support Association president Noel McNamara said the sentence was a disgrace.
"If it was a man on those charges it would have been a different story," he said.
What a bloody double standard.
We dont know the circumstances...
More then likley they were into it.

It's not really so much if they were into it or not but more so they are not at a mature enough age to make a responsible decision and they were taken advantage of by someone in a position of authority.
If it was a female and she was into it it would be a totally different story.

Does not matter. If it was the other way around it wouldnt.
but men and women are different, so in a sense, there should be a double standard.
I got to say tho, if I was a 14 y/o and was plied with alcohol to sleep with a 20 y/o chick, I wouldn't feel like a victim....
I would have no sympathy in that situation. Have some fucking self control. It's a 15 year old girl.
The situation where I have sympathy is when blokes get caught out with girls lying about there age and still get in shit.

Like I said have some self control. You know there age, who cares if they look mature. if you do it deal with the fall out.
I think that is too narrow-minded a view. Not every single person on the planet who is the same age is the same.
There are clear boundaries, don't get me long. Anyone prepubescent is out of bounds. Someone should be both sexually and mentally mature enough. The point is, some reach this point much earlier than others.
Ok, here is another hypothetical for you, what about a prepubescent 17 year old? By your standards, you can sleep with them as they are over the age of consent, despite the fact they are clearly not ready for sex!!
Pistach. How am I narrow minded. Seriously if you don't think it wrong that a 20 year old cant stop himself from shagging a 15 year girl. Well we are obviously on a totally different page.
That is all I'm saying about that. I'm not that interested in this topic.
Yes but it wasn't so it is different. It's jusy how life is...
