Caged Heat - Women With Sex Troubles
(Columbia, Tennessee) A 26-year-old woman, Rebecca Bargy, restrained her husband to a chair with duct tape, used a gag and a blindfold and then went to a motel for 20 hours of uninterrupted sex with a man she met over the Internet. Her husband, James Bargy, died from suffocation.
This week, Rebecca Bargy was sentenced to 18 months in jail. The court decided that she didn't intend for her husband to die. Nevertheless, one can only imagine the slow, painful death James Bargy experienced. More in extended entry.

(Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania) In babysitter news, a 34-year-old woman, Tracy Vasholz, was sentenced to four to eight years in prison for raping a boy she was caring for more than 10 years, starting at the age of five.

(College Station, Texas) In Don't-Mess-With-Texas news, a 47-year-old woman, Laura Lee Cole, was sentenced to 16 years in prison for sexual assaults on two teen boys.

(Mesa, Arizona) In same-sex student-teacher news, a 26-year-old special needs teacher, Elizabeth Claire Livesay, was sentenced to four months in jail for sexual conduct with a 16-year-old girl throughout the summer of 2008.
Although anecdotal, the four instances illustrate that the American justice system is largely unpredictable with regard to punishment imposed on women with sex troubles.
