Woman who had sex with 13-year-old boy avoids jail

By GLENN McLEAN - Taranaki Daily News | Friday, 1 June 2007

SPARED JAIL SENTENCE: Briar Dravitski, 24, was convicted of having sex with a 13-year-old boy but escaped a jail sentence due to an administrative error.

An administrative error and a commitment to finish community work has saved the first woman in New Zealand convicted of having sex with an underage boy from going to jail.

Briar Dravitski, 24, made a brief appearance in the New Plymouth District Court yesterday.

She was due to appear for her fourth breach of community work after having her review of sentence dismissed earlier this week.

Judge Allan Roberts had indicated he would impose a 15-month jail term as a replacement sentence for the community work. That offer was declined by Dravitski's defence counsel, Pamela Jensen.

Having already breached three times, as well as being on a final warning, Dravitski faced jail yesterday.

The probation service withdrew the fourth breach, however, citing an administrative error.

That leaves Dravitski with close to 350 hours' community work to complete. She has finished 90 hours of a sentence that was handed down after she had sex with a 13-year-old boy. She was also convicted for assault and wilful damage.

The case attracted national headlines last year after she was the first woman convicted under new laws that meant men and women were treated equally as sex offenders.

Judge Roberts told Dravitski that he had no doubts that if she was a man, she would have gone to jail for her sexual offending.

How long you figure it took him to find his way out?

GUILTY!!! party!

Not in the most drunken and/or stoned state possible would a human male go for that.

From an earlier article.

Someone had sex with the woman on the left, so suddenly the perpetrator in the NZ case looks much more attractive..

Mate, dunno ‘bout you, but with this one I’d need to be tied up and sedated with a gun to my head and no possible means of escape and no other prospect of survival before I could even contemplate it.

As to the one on the left... Crikey! What a nitemare!

>>GUITLY!

Actually, I kimd of like the word GUITLY in this situation. It’s another good one for the FReeper lexicon I say. :)

GUITLY as charged!

You've never been thirteen? I would have followed her to her summer feeding grounds in the Bering Sea.

(grin!) To me it’s like the difference between being beheaded and being hanged!

(I’d rather die of old age, but given the choice of the two, I’d rather hang.)

Hey I was just a skinny lad
Never knew no good from bad
But I knew life before I left my nursery
Left alone with big fat fanny
She was such a naughty nanny
Heap big woman you made a bad boy out of me

Kiwi women are hot.

So, I have to ask...

HOW did this woman into the country?

She was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FAT:

when she has sex, she wants the men on top...
one guy had to get a ladder to get on top...
guys ask directions during sex...
when they finally got on top, their ears popped...
she wears two watches because she covers 2 time zones...
when she goes swimming, she leaves a ring around the lake...
when 2 guys broke into her house, she yelled "RAPE!"; they yelled "NO!"...
when she walks into a room, mice jump up on the chairs...
she's known as a "two bagger". You wear one on your head in case the one on her head comes off...
when she wears high heels, she strikes oil...

"Absolutely, Positively, Beyond The Shadow of A Reasonable Doubt...."

In her case, I think "beyone the eclipse of a reasonable doubt," would be a more appropriate standard of proof.
