Bay Area woman sentenced for sexually molesting girl prosecutors say was groomed
"Christina Whisman, 45, was sentenced by Judge Paige Hein in Sonoma County Superior Court, where Whisman pleaded guilty in late November to three counts of forcible lewd acts on a child and one count each of giving a minor cocaine and misdemeanor child molestation. She originally faced 14 charges, most involving sexual abuse. Whisman stood silently beside her defense attorney, Rahul Balaram, who read a statement on her behalf."
"that states Whisman tried to be a cool peer to children and held parties that included drugs and pornography. Most charges involve a victim identified as Jane Doe, who was about 12 or 13 years old, not related to Whisman and spent time at her home, according to the filing. One night in March 2020, Jane Doe fell asleep at Whisman's home and awoke to Whisman touching her inappropriately, despite the girl's repeated pleas to stop."
