bet she never does time. A man would go to jail for that crap. She'll get a lawyer who will tell the press that she's emotionally fragile, and that she's just entered therapy.
umm.. why would the kid tell his mom about this?
must be like the boy in this classic cartoon:

8 years in prison? I'm no advocate for child molestation, but isn't that a bit excessive in this instance? There doesn't seem to have been any malicious intent, and I didn't see any indication that there was physical contact of any kind.
Our legal system is a bit berkeleyed.
It seems like (and this might be over symplifying things...) that if I were playing a drunken game of water balloon fight with a friend and I mistakenly threw a water balloon at an unintended stranger, I would be charged with Assault and Battery within 10 seconds.
In reply to Maroon92:
Did you miss the part where they mentioned her fondling his junk?
Besides which, if the roles were reversed and it was a 42 year old guy doing that to a 12 year old girl you'd probably be saying 8 years isn't enough.
Hmmm. Let's see...
'42 y/o woman fondles 12 y/o boy at party, offers to perform oral sex.' She's looking at 8 years in prison, probably out in 2 or so on good behavior.
'42 y/o man fondles 12 year old girl at party, offers to perform oral sex.' He might as well plan on dying behind bars.
I don't advocate child molestation either. There does need to be parity in punishment.

Evidently I did miss that part... My apologies.
I'd be asking the parents why their 12yo was at a party with a bunch of drunk 40yo people. I try to keep my preteens out of that situation to start with. Drunks, as a rule, don't have a whole lot of inhibitions.
8yrs in prison for a thru-the-pants junk grab and being generally crass to a 12yr old boy?
I'm not sayin' a little talkin' to about line crossing when on your second bottle of red isn't warranted but... damn. I just read in the paper this AM that a guy who stabbed two people in a bar fight he started over heroin possession or lack thereof faces up to 3ys in prison.
The lesson here is don't try to berkeley them, try to kill them.

She'd probably like to kill him now.
