'Office Cougar' Jailed for Preying on Married Men
The Telegraph ^ | 14 Jun 2012

Posted on 06/17/2012 7:14:38 PM PDT by nickcarraway

A Cambridge graduate who described herself as the “office cougar” has been jailed for falsely claiming she was having affairs with her married male colleagues.

Software engineer Jeevani Wickramaratna, 44, spun a web of deceit, bombarding the men with sexually explicit messages, emailing their wives and even falsely claiming one man had HIV.

She was found guilty of sexual harassment and jailed for 26 weeks by District Judge David Parsons, who blasted her "complete fantasy world". He said: "They trusted you and you abused that trust and during the trial you repeated the wicked allegations you made against each one of them and it is eminently clear that you are completely incapable of telling the truth." Wickramaratna called herself a cougar, a term used to describe an older woman who pursues younger men.

She became infatuated with co-worker Paul Stokes after he emailed her offering her some of his birthday cake, and went on to besiege him with emails and Facebook messages, South Somerset Magistrates Court in Yeovil heard.

Christine Hart, prosecuting, said: "She claimed that Mr Stokes was having an affair with the office 'cougar', and many of the messages were sexually explicit and caused great distress to both him and his family.

"Wickramaratna then began sending him a series of messages saying she was setting him free and said she had told his family about their affair and that he loved her."

Further abusive Facebook messages were sent, including a false allegation that Mr Stokes had been diagnosed with HIV, all of which caused great humiliation.

I had a female co-worker complain to me once (a large gathering of workers in a bar for a wake) that I didn’t understand how hard it was for a woman in our profession (largley dominated by men), and that other men at work were constantly trying to have sex with her.

I told her not to take it personal, its not because you are a woman...it is because you have a vagina.

I think the self evident nature of that statement escapes her to this day.

That would also be a good idea!

The problem with most guys is they can only think with their brains or Willy, but one at a time and not both. In cases of conflict or confusion, Willy generally wins. That has the unhappy habit of causing no end of troubles.

>> Wouldn’t a shot of Raid kill a nervous tick?

No, I’m a NERVOUS tick, not a sanguine one. Therefore I take precautions.

I’d be wearing a respirator and hazmat suit... and standing BEHIND the Raid can when I “hit it”.

:-)

   Look at the eyes. They tell the story.

   But Laz would hit it.

But if Laz is smart, he'll tell her his name is "Just another Joe"!

A word to the wise: Never sleep with anyone that’s crazier than you are!

So you're advising me to be celibate....?
