Syracuse woman takes plea deal in teen sex case

The women accused of having sex with three teenage boys has
agreed to a plea deal.

Kimberlee Williams Arigot, 41, of Syracuse was charged with
unlawful sexual activity with a minor, two counts of unlawful
sexual conduct with a 16- or 17-year-old, and five counts of
dealing in materials harmful to a minor, all third-degree felonies.

She also has been charged with a single count of child sex abuse,
a class A misdemeanor.

Deputy Davis County Attorney Richard Larsen said Arigot has agreed to a plea deal offered by the prosecutors office.

Arigot pleaded guilty to two counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a 16- or 17-year-old, unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, and dealing in materials harmful to a minor, all third-degree felonies.

In exchange for her guilty plea, Davis County prosecutors dismissed five other felony counts of dealing in materials harmful to a minor.

Prosecutors also agreed not to recommend prison time when she is sentenced Nov. 25.

Had Arigot not accepted the plea deal, her case would have gone to trial on Dec. 3 and Dec. 4 in 2nd District Court in Layton.

Woman gets 1 year in jail for having sex with boys

A woman who had sex with teenage boys was sentenced to a year in jail. Kimberlee Arigot, 41, came to court Wednesday prepared for possible jail time but was hoping for home confinement. The judge ordered her to a year in jail.

Arigot engaged in sexual activity with three teenage boys. Syracuse police initially started investigating Arigot because they believed she sent nude pictures to one teen.

She was arrested last November. When they interviewed her, she gave them more information about sex acts with a 15-year-old and two 17-year-old boys. Police have said the victims were either her daughter's friends or neighborhood boys.

Both the prosecutor and defense attorney seemed pleased with the outcome.

Deputy Davis County Attorney Richard Larsen said, "In speaking with the victims, they're pleased. This was the outcome they were hoping for. They're pleased with the outcome."

"Honestly, I think it was a fair sentence," said defense attorney Ryan Bushell. "That's what we'd come in prepared for. We knew there would be some jail time."

Arigot's defense attorney said she was remorseful for what happened. He said she was going through a tough time in her life and acted inappropriately.

He said, "She was getting some attention, relished in that attention and obviously took it way too far. And when these young men approached her about doing things, it set her off and, unfortunately, acted on them."

In addition to the year in jail Arigot will serve 36 month probation, and in 90 days, she'll qualify for work release from jail.

He would certainly get much more than a year and sure as hell wouldn't get such a sweat plea bargan deal. I wonder just how much the average scentence would be for a guy in the same circumstances though. I might try to look into that just for shits and giggles.
