A California woman will have to register as a sex offender after she admitted to having sex with a 14-year-old boy.
Heather Ann Grizoffi, 19, received 10 days in jail and a $1,000 fine after she pleaded guilty on Monday to one count of statutory sexual seduction, a gross misdemeanor. She was given credit for 10 days she served when she was arrested on a Douglas County warrant and was awaiting extradition to Nevada. She was also ordered to complete 100 hours of community service in the next six months.
Her attorney, Richard Molezzo, said his client was pleading guilty against his advice.
Under Nevada law, Grizoffi could have her record sealed after seven years.
A psychologist found that Grizoffi was not likely to repeat her behavior and was not a threat to the community.
Because California won't supervise a misdemeanor case, Dougals County District Judge Michael Gibbons ruled out probation.
"The punishment in this case comes down to jail time, a fine or community service," he said before sentencing her to all three.
Molezzo argued that the real punishment for her behavior will be the requirement she register as a sex offender.
Grizoffi was required to provide a DNA sample to the state and will have to pay $196 to reimburse the county for extraditing her here.
Gibbons asked Grizoffi to seek counseling and to write an apology to the victim's family.
A warrant was issued for her arrest in September 2008 after the boy's family reported the relationship to authorities.
According to Prosecutor Erik Levin, the parents told Grizoffi to stop seeing their son before bringing charges.
