Crube Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 http://www.gwinnettdailypost.com/index.php...hange_well_id=2 Ga. Supreme Court rejects teen’s appeal in sex case 12/16/2006 ATLANTA (AP) — The Georgia Supreme Court has turned down an appeal from a teen who was sentenced to 10 years in prison for having sex with a 15-year-old. In a ruling released Friday, the court denied a motion for reconsideration filed by lawyers for Genarlow Wilson, who was 17 when he and the 15-year-old engaged in consensual oral sex. He was sentenced for aggravated child molestation. Wilson’s case was one of two cases that were cited earlier this year when lawmakers passed a law that otherwise strengthened penalties for sex offenders, but reduced the penalty from a felony to a misdemeanor for some teenagers convicted of sodomy. Presiding Justice Carol Hunstein noted that in easing the penalties for teens, ‘‘the Legislature expressly chose not to allow the provisions of the new amendments to affect persons convicted under the previous version of the statute.’’ Hunstein added she was ‘‘very sympathetic to Wilson’s argument regarding the injustice of sentencing this promising young man with good grades and no criminal history to 10 years in prison without parole and a lifetime registration as a sexual offender because he engaged in consensual oral sex with a 15-year-old victim only two years his junior,’’ but said the court was bound the by limits set by the Legislature.

HappyLittleBoozer Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 To my knowledge, most states have a two year age difference in their law that makes it so a 17 year old and 15 year old could have sex and it be legal. Apparently, Georgia doesn't. Then again, if Georgia had laws like everyone else, what he did would also be considered sodomy. Link to comment

cappy Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 you should change the title of this thread from 'blowjobs very illegal in georgia' to 'statutory rape illegal in georgia'... but then that wouldnt make a very interesting thread Link to comment
No Sad Endings Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Yeah, I guess that 14 year old boy that put the moves on me when I was 16 and who I fooled around with, I totally molested him He was victim to my evil pedophillic desires Nevermind it was all his idea to begin with Link to comment
cappy Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 yeah try that defense in court. "it wasnt rape! it was her idea to begin with!" Link to comment
No Sad Endings Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Yes well what we are SAYING here is that that is utterly ridiculous. Two kids engaging in normal, consensual adolescent sexual activity is not rape in any way, shape, or form. Link to comment

HappyLittleBoozer Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I really do hate things like this, because it's almost always the parent's fault. They truly DON'T understand that age range, even if they were in that predicament themselves at one point. Daddy finds out his little girl likes being sexual with her boyfriend in a loving and consensual manner and he goes on the warpath, because he can't accept that and blames the innocent for a victimless crime that wasn't even a crime at all, really.

I can go a little farther than that.... Link to comment
