Babysitter jailed for sexually assaulting boy
Woman, 40, handed 2 1/2 years for multiple sexual encounters
CanadianCRC Editor: Notice the discriminatory wording if the sexual offender is female and the child that was sexually assaulted is male. The use of the words "affair", "relationship", "sexual encounter", "sexual tryst". Notice that she didn't get jail time. The female judge agreed that the offender should get 2 1/2 years in jail and then gave her time "in the community", effectively no sentence. The female sexual predator also blamed her actions on her ex-husband and the boy victim, a common pattern these days in which female perpetrators of domestic violence are told they are always the victim.

For months Pamela Ruth Collins bonded with the 12-year-old boy she was hired to babysit.
But that’s not all the former Halifax woman was doing.
Ms. Collins, 40, was sentenced Monday to 2½ years in prison for seducing the now 15-year-old Halifax boy into having sex with her on dozens of occasions between July 1, 2004, and May 20, 2005. More..
Quebec woman gets 15 months for having sex with boy when he was 13
Canadian Press, various newspapers and media across Canada, Thursday, March 29, 2007
QUEBEC (CP) - A Quebec woman who had sex with a 13-year-old boy has been sentenced to 15 months in prison.
The relationship between Julie Dorval, 31, and the boy began after the youth made advances over the Internet. Within about three months they had sex on several occasions. Youth protection services were called after Dorval and the teenager were seen walking hand-in-hand and hugging each other. Dorval pleaded guilty last April to sexual assault.
Prosecutors had been seeking a sentence of at least two years in a federal penitentiary, while the defence suggested a conditional sentence of nine to 12 months.

CanadianCRC editor's note: Notice how in cases in which the adult sexual predator is a female, the articles use words such as above "having sex" or below "having an affair" and not sexual assault. If this had been a 31 year old male who sexually assaulted a 13 year old female, the sentence is typically more. In addition, sentencing a male perpetrator to at least 2 years in prison would put the prisoner in federal penitentary.
