Woman sentenced for having sex with teen
KINGMAN, Ariz. — A Lake Havasu City woman who had numerous sexual encounters with a boy she met through her high school-age children has been sentenced to the Arizona Department of Corrections.
Mohave County Superior Court Judge Derek Carlisle ordered a 3½-year prison sentence Monday for Tammy Hankins, 43.
Most of the sentence was for violating probation for her previous drug conviction by having sex with the 16 year-old. The judge tacked on another year for the sexual relations.
Carlisle said society might apply a double standard when comparing men having sex with girls to women having sex with boys, but he said his prison sentence reflect that the law makes no such distinction.
