Traci Leah Cochrane was also placed on probation yesterday for two years after provincial court Judge Bob Wilkins accepted a joint Crown and defence sentencing proposal.
Prosecutor Paul Mason said he normally would have sought a harsher sentence, but there were evidentiary problems with his case.
Mason noted Cochrane's sexual relationship with her first victim was initially legal, but became unlawful when Ottawa raised the age of consent. He said Cochrane's affair with her second victim was at first illegal, but is continuing now the girl can lawfully consent.
Cochrane, 30, who spent 55 days in remand, pleaded guilty to two charges of having sexual contact with minors, as well as several breaches of her release conditions.
This is complete bullshit, and a blatant example of the double standard that exists in the legal system.
If it was a guy who had done this, he would have gotten serious time in the pen, not 3 months in provincial jail plus probation.
