CENTRAL SQUARE, NY -- A St. Lawrence County woman was sentenced Monday in Oswego County Court for raping a 13-year-old Central Square boy earlier this year.

Tanya M. Sochia, 30, of Brasher Falls, was sentenced to six months in county jail and 10 years probation, according to Oswego County District Attorney Greg Oakes. Sochia will also be a registered sex offender. Oakes said her sex offender level will be determined at a hearing before she leaves jail.

Sochia was charged with rape in the second degree, a felony and endangering the welfare of a child, a misdemeanor. She faced up to 7 years in prison, Oakes said.

Sochia plead guilty to the second-degree rape charge and was sentenced Monday by Oswego County Judge Donald Todd.

The rape took place in January. The boy's mother was friends with Sochia at the time of the incident.

The mother of the boy said she is upset with the sentence.

"She walks away with barely nothing and my son's scars will never heal," she said. "It also makes me want to push for stricter laws here for child molesters."
