A woman who posed as an homeless orphaned boy, befriended a teenage girl and was taken into her family's home has pleaded guilty to child molestation.
Prosecutors say they would seek the maximum one-year jail term for Lorelei J. Corpuz, 30, who entered her plea Wednesday. Charges of third-degree child rape were dropped last month.
Authorities said Corpuz, who cropped her hair and stands 5-foot-3, passed herself off as 17-year-old Mark Villanueva after meeting the girl at a mall in September 2005. Her parents, immigrants who speak little English, later let Corpuz live at their home.
The deception became known after a traffic stop led to Corpuz's arrest on an unrelated warrant. The girl was in the car and told police that Corpuz was her boyfriend, according to documents filed in court.

Another example of disparity is sentencing in these types of cases.. 1) people plead out to have charges dropped or reduced to spare victims, and 2) if this had been a guy that had pulled this crap, he'd be looking at 20 years.
