I don't feel sorry for her and I don't feel sorry for the men who all made stupid choices to abuse their positions and inflate their egos. I feel sorry for the families that are publicly embarrassed and let down by the actions of the people they trusted and for the rest of the departments who are left to continue on.

They are all guilty of corruption. City officials who used their power for their own agenda. The girl was busted after they found out and investigated how many folks were tied to the city, they only busting her after the fact to give them a scape goat. Truth be known I'd say that's how this all got started. She probably got caught with a small amount of drugs by one of the officers and that was how she kept from going to jail. The men held it over her head, and somehow.. I'd say they played the buddy system passing her around. They all had their own agenda and she used it to her advantage...Makes them all guilty. Hurt alot of families but adults make their own choices and now each should have to pay the price. Costly as it is. Where does the news get alledgedly having sex with state and city officials? I'd say that is a fact, "eventuallly lead to the termination, demotion, and resignation of four city officials." That's guilty.

I agree with Be Careful. What is the saying he who is without sin shall cast the first stone? I do think she was wrong and should be punished but the men involved are just as much to blame. They put their wives and kids through alot and they deserve to be punished too!!! This woman is facing 6 1/2 years and I'm sure they won't go easy on her. As far as God not foregiving her you might want to catch up God let his son die for our sins. I doubt this will keep her out of heaven. But I'm sure it will put her in prison.

Aint it funny that all the harsh judgement comes from women, dont just blame her remember it takes 2 and there has to be a reason the men were looking I myself have been hit on by officers who were in no way attractive but thought they were and that the uniform was suppose to impress me even had one offer to take care of a ticket he was about to write for speeding I thought give me a break not even for a free get out of jail for murder card, but many young girls fall for these tricks and the cops laugh and brag about it to their co workers some even keep score so until you realize what goes on in the real world dont judge

Kayla: Don't you think you should be careful pretending to know what God will or will not "forgive". Do you think that God will forgive you for passing judgement on another.....remember "Judge not lest ye be judged". You asked why she would do what she did - well, why did the men do what they did? Each and every one of them (the woman and men) will need to suffer the consequences of their actions. But, everyone needs to stop blaming her only, they are all adults and in control of their choices.

Deb- Some "you know whats" do it for free!

This is completely disquisting. Why would someone do this? She is obviously wanting attention. God can't even forgive something like this....

should they consider sex crimes since an addict is probably always under the influence and authorities took advantage of the situation

She's a uniform groupie. Every city, county. or state with police and fire departments has one chasing uniforms.

Deb, If you are accusing her of prostitution then you need to charge the city and county employees involved with the Solicitation of prostitution.

deb, i doubt they were paying her for the sex. just the drugs. they're all corrupted.

I hope to god that they don't work a plea with her and she get punished just like the guys. I feel bad for all of the families involved. We are taught to forgive sometimes that is really hard to do
