Sexism In New Mexico's Criminal Sentencing

**pzreb** · 2nd-March-2012

Brenda Ray, a 40-year-old high school teacher in Albuquerque, New Mexico began a sexual relationship with one of her male students, who was then only 16 years old. she will not serve any jail time nor register as a sex offender. Instead, she was only assigned three years of probation.

Edward Christy 58, had a sexual relationship with a 16 year old girl he met online. [and took back to his house]. Edward Christy was sentenced to nine years in prison on charges of coercion and enticement of a minor to engage in sexual activity and possession of child pornography.

This bring up the question of lawsuits. Can Christy sue for sex discrimination AND would it not be better for government agencies to avoid the possibility of these lawsuits by SIMPLY HOLDING GROWN WOMEN ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS.

Despite alcohol, marijuana and cocaine being involved in the Brenda Ray case, the prosecution had not a care in the world. Neither did the judge! Pathetic!

Typical.

It's worth a try, Christy should file a discrimination lawsuit.

I would be doubtful about the success of such a suit, but he should file it so as to bring attention to the disparity. People need to know that there are two justice systems, one for men and one for women.
