An appeal court panel in Newfoundland and Labrador has ruled a woman who had sex with a 12-year-old boy should spend an extra year behind bars.
The decision says the trial judge wrongly interpreted case law last year before giving an "unfit" sentence of one year less a day for sexual assault.
Instead, she is to serve a total of two years in jail to be followed by two years probation.
Neither the woman nor the boy can be named under publication bans.
The appeal court judgment released Tuesday says she was 23 years old in the summer of 2011 when she began fondling her 12-year-old neighbour.
It says she had sex with the boy on two occasions, once in a public place and once in her bedroom.
The appeal court ruling says the woman has not taken responsibility or shown remorse after being convicted of sexual assault and sexual interference.
