Woman sentenced to life for forcing 13 y/o to touch her boobs

A Twin Falls woman convicted of forcing a 13-year-old boy to touch her breasts was sentenced Monday to life in prison. Michelle Lyn Taylor, 34, was convicted of lewdness with a minor under 14 in November after a week-long trial in Elko County, Nev., District Judge Mike Memeo's courtroom.

With the conviction, Taylor faced a mandatory life sentence, and Memeo set parole eligibility after 10 years, the minimum sentence. If released on parole she must register as a sex offender and will be under lifetime supervision. [...] Kilpatrick [public defender] said despite the parole eligibility after 10 years, there should be no mistake that it's a life sentence for Taylor. "She is getting a greater penalty for having a boy touch her breast than if she killed him," she said. [...] She [Michelle Lyn Taylor] told jurors she roughhoused with the boy, but didn’t force him to touch her inappropriately.
