Get the tourneyquet mug.A female delinquent. Her "fairer gender" means that she can get away with a lot more --- or be punished a lot less (think Mary Kay Letourneau, who only served a comparatively short sentence for a super-serious crime that a man in the same position would likely have gotten decades of prison time) --- than a guy trying the same shenanigans.
The use of misscreants to aid in committing crimes has long been practiced --- people are just naturally more trusting of females, and so they tend not to be monitored so closely as their male counterparts would be.
