Yeah this story's relatively old, and someone could have already posted about it, but I don't remember and that's all that counts.

ANYWAYS, A Georgia teen has been charged with 10 yeasr in prison for getting a blow job from a 15 year old, the age of legal consent is 16. Even the jurors agreed that this law that will steal 10 years from this otherwise, good, honest kid's life is absurd. He was also charged with rape because he had sex with a consenting 17 year old who happened to be drunk. The prosecutors dropped those charges when the jurors just :rolleyes: and said the law was stupid and voted to acquit the guy.

"We immediately saw the tape [of him banging a 17 year old] for what it was. We went back and saw it again and saw what actually happened and everybody immediately said not guilty."

What I found most startling, however was that "[u]ntil 1998, oral sex between husband and wife was illegal, punishable by up to 20 years in prison."

Come on people, if your daughter is going to be drinking well underage, they ought not start bitching when they realize they got "raped;" even though I'm sure they enjoyed it. :D

I wanna see the video tape.

I say fair enough fo the first!
Oral Sex is Illegal in many places.
If she wants to be Drunk and wants Drunk Sex then Hell yeah STFU BIATCH!

They should have just stoned the kid to death or shot both of them in the street with an assault rifle, to be more like their idols in afghanistan.

Ten years? I'm all for women's rights, but even then I think that it's way too harsh. I guess it depends on the evidence, and what you said may be making it sound a little nicer, but come on, five years would be the most I'd say they could give. Ten years? In ten years I'd be pushing 30 years old, that'd be my 'youth' completely gone!

Imagine sitting in prison for 10 years after that. I'd say he'd be more likely to do it again after that length of time, with the realisation that the mistake cost him his youth, just because he'd be so depressed, than if he was there for only half or less than that amount.

On the other hand, if he only got a few months I'd be saying, 'too leniant', so what can I say?

Seconded.
And thirded.

"Even jurors frowned on the charge. "A bad law, absolutely," Manigault said...Whatever their feelings about the law, jurors felt they had no choice but to find Wilson guilty of aggravated child molestation."

man, somebody needs to really explain a few things about the jury system to people

What needs explaining? He technically broke the law. There is no arguing that. I'm not saying he should be in prison for 10 years, but what were they supposed to do.

Only in Jesusland can you get more years in prison for a blowjob than for murdering someone.

When did that happen?

That reminds me.
