The woman accused of coming to Eau Claire to meet a 15-year-old boy for sex was sentenced Thursday.

44-year-old Tracy Taylor will serve 7 months in jail with credit for time already served and will be on probation for 7 years.

During this time she must register as a sex offender, is not allowed to have any contact with the victim, and cannot use a computer or cell phone without the consent of her parole officer.

Prosecutors say Taylor drove from New York to have sex with the 15-year-old boy.

They say she developed an online relationship with him and made plans to meet him in person.

I have a hard time believing that a Male would have gotten this light of a sentence if he had committed this horrible crime.

What there wasn't a 15 year old in New York for her to abuse?? Hope she enjoys her jail stay.

You have got to be kidding! Only 7 months of jail! She should be treated just like if that was an adult male going to have sex with a 15 year old female. That is just sick! More time is needed. What is wrong with this system??????
