Young Children Forced To Stage Sex Show

Updated:11:19, Friday May 09, 2008
A woman has been jailed for life for forcing young children to have sex with each other in front of customers at a swinger's club.

Siblings were forced to have sex
The jury took just four minutes to convict Shauntel Mayo, who ran the club in East Texas, of forcing children to have sex or perform sexual acts for members who paid to watch.

The children were three siblings, aged between seven and 10.

During the trial, the children testified how Mayo and other defendants began teaching them at the age of five how to dance and perform sex acts.

They were also given drugs, which the adults called "silly pills", to help them perform.

District Judge Jack Skeen Jr ordered Mayo to serve a minimum of 25 years before becoming eligible for parole.

In March, Mayo's 36-year-old boyfriend, Jamie Pittman, was also found guilty in four minutes.

He was sentenced to life in prison after jurors deliberated for just two minutes.

Mayo was convicted of engaging in organised criminal activity and two counts of sexual performance of a child.

Four other defendants in the case are awaiting trial.

So the woman gets 25 years and the man gets life, why's that?

Disproportion in the Justice System.

It happens in Ireland too.

This isn't humanities, is it?

Yup some double standards going on there.

Good to see they both got decent jail sentences though, if that happened here they'd probably get probation.

Naos

Obviously it goes without question that the crime was sick, but this disproportion is silly.

How do the courts, if at all, justfiy it?

does it go back to primal instincts and how men are the more powerful of the two sexes and therefore more accountable? maybe there is more to the story than what skynews says, he could have more convictions. the story says the women ran the club, whereas its possible he probably abused the kids

25 years? Decent? Surely ye jest. At best executiuon at worst a real "life" sentence... as in until they die and rot.

Hail 2 Da Chimp

A minimum of 25 years, and compared with our justice system that is one hell of a jail term.
Besides - hopefully they will be killed in jail anyway

Nope. It's a societal undertone which says that men who do horrendous acts are just evil, but women who do horrendous acts are mentally ill. It's probably something to do with the "mothering instinct", where if a woman does something horrible to her kids, she must have ben forced into it, because no mother could ever be horrible to her kids, whereas men are expected to be naturally horrible.

Thanks Feminism.

Well according to the website she was sentanced to life but has to serve a minimum of 25 years. Also the website says that the man has to serve life but it doesn't give more information about him. It's possible that he might have to serve a minimum of 25 years too.

It really looks like people just want to complain for the sake of it and glossed over the fact that the very first sentance in the article mentioned that she was sentanced to life.

You have to blame sexy kids...

The world has always been messed up.

We just have mass media now to tell us how messed up it is, with minutes of something f***ed up happening.

Guy:Incognito

Damn the world is messed up these days. Bring back the old days when children were sent to homes to be abused in private so no one got hurt.

I don't know if I'd agree with your last line. Wouldn't such a societal undertone have existed long before the advent of feminism?
If anything, radical feminism sets out to dispel the notion of the woman as nurterer etc...

But men as a ...... ?

Dudess

Well it's more about women being equal to men, the same as men (apart from biology). I'm not saying I agree with it, and I'm sure there are plenty of hypocritical feminists who argue women should not be seen as solely maternal, nurturing beings more compassionate than males, but in a case like this, they'd gladly throw such principles out the window.

That story was sick sick stuff.
