Starbucks Employee Admits To Babysitter Sex Crimes, Judge’s Decision Is Unbelievable

Antonio J. Newell
While some people appear innocent, they can have hidden, moral flaws, and one babysitter recently proved she had multiple. After hearing all the twisted details of her disturbing sex crimes, the judge came to a puzzling decision.
Mary-Ellen Mooney is a 19-year-old Starbucks employee who also contracts herself, part-time, as a babysitter. Well, she used to, anyway. Since her story came out, it should prevent her babysitting possibilities from ever happening again.
Mooney coerced a 13-year-old boy to commit sex acts on her. According to Mirror Online, the boy didn’t want to do anything with her. However, she persisted. From rubbing his thighs to straddling his lap and kissing him — and worse — Mary Mooney knew exactly what she was doing to the young teen boy. The judge affirms that she was well-aware.
In various Facebook messages, the Starbucks worker contacted the boy and engaged in perverse conversation. According to the report, some of her messages read as follows:
“You are fairly mature for your age and you’re not bad looking…I have got a really soft spot for you, babe. I think you have a hidden talent. I think you could handle me.”
Really? She thought a newly-turned teen would be able to “handle her”? Obviously, the 13-year-old can’t even handle being by himself. What would make her think such a thing?
Moreover, Mooney wasn’t able to “handle” her own accountability. When she was caught by the boy’s parents, she denied initiating any sex acts and blamed their teenage son. However, she finally admitted to three counts of sex crimes with the boy, but this was possibly after she was attacked by one of his family members at her home.
However, while Mary clearly knew what she was doing, Judge Karen Holt mercifully ruled in Mooney’s sentencing. After hearing defense attorney Sophie Murray’s appeal that Mooney had become “deeply shameful” and “guilt-ridden,” the judge was quoted as follows:
“You were trusted to be the babysitter. You clearly knew what you were doing was wrong. I have listened very carefully to everything said on your behalf — I don’t find this an easy case. The law reflects the seriousness of this abuse of trust on a child so young. I am just about persuaded I don’t need to send you to prison today.”
According to the report, the 19-year-old sexual predator only received a two-year suspended prison sentence. If you’re unaware, this is something like a probationary period, where the convicted person is given a chance to make amends.
If Mooney does everything she’s supposed to do and doesn’t commit any further crimes or delinquencies, Judge Holt may dismiss her proposed imprisonment. Within her two-year suspended sentence, Mooney has to perform 100 hours of unpaid work.
On top of that, Mary has to abide by a five-year Sexual Harm Prevention order — which prohibits her from any unsupervised contact with boys under the age of 16. Also, she will be identified as a sex offender for the next 10 years.
So, basically, the judge saved the 19-year-old from becoming a sexual target in prison. Those who are convicted of sexual crimes — especially those against minors — usually have the worst kind of prison experiences. Inmates, generally, feel that they will gain more respect around the system’s population if they can take out someone who abused kids.
Judge Holt was merciful enough not to subject her to such treatment at her age. However, if Mary-Ellen can’t do as she’s supposed to, within the appointed two-year span, she can pretty much expect to become someone’s b***h inside the prison’s walls. Is it wrong to want her to fail?
