Statutory Rape Question

This is kind of a sickening "Actual" news article. My issue is the prisoner 42 arrested for statutory rape as a man, later found to be a woman had sexual relations on several occasions with a 15 year old and was only charged with statutory rape. Then after I think clearly under charging her, they made her/him a deal! NO JAIL TIME! Yes she must register as sex offender, stay out of trouble for 6 years, and change her drivers license to reflect that she is a woman. Seriously she had sex with a 15 year old on SEVERAL occasions, and Tennessee the high and mighty proponents of Megan's Law let her off, even after she lied and made fools of them lying about her gender. Even to the of point residing in the male section of County Jail awaiting trial! At what point do deals become tom foolery? She slapped Tennessee in the face! Staying out of trouble for 6 years, we all know most sex offenders are very capable controllers, just like other types of abusers. Who is to say she will not just find another child to trick and abuse, who will be to afraid, charmed or embarrassed to tell. That is how they operate. Yes eventually they would probably get her and lock her up, but they already should have once!

'Male' Inmate Found to Be a Woman

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (March
30) - An inmate was jailed as a man for more than a week on a statutory rape
charge before a shower revealed the prisoner was a woman.

Alexander David Cross, also known as Elaine Ann Cross, had been in
the Hamilton County Jail awaiting a court appearance Wednesday. Cross pleaded
guilty to the charge in a deal with prosecutors.

The charge stems
from an alleged sexual relationship with a 15-year-old girl. Prosecutors allege
Cross, 42, and the teenager had sexual contact at least three times during June
and July 2006.

Officials said Cross' gender was revealed when jail
authorities forced the inmate to take a shower.

"After about 10
days in jail, they figure out Alex Cross is a female," prosecutor Boyd Patterson
said in court.

The plea means no jail time will be required if
Cross stays out of trouble for six years. Cross must register as a convicted sex
offender and have no contact with the teen. The gender designation also must be
changed to female on Cross' driver's license.

Cross couldn't
immediately be located for comment.

This is really a shame...........................
