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. ———

The girl should go to prison as well for having sexual relations with a 17 year old.
As with all stories like this, I want to know how they got caught.

Isn't it normal for kids to experiment? Can't people accept that? Over here it'd have been pretty much legal.

it's legal pretty much everywhere here in the states, too. I've never heard of anything like this
 
Actually, its not. In most states the age of consent is 17, if she's younger than that, its rape or molestation.
 
F___ that. Somewhere, there's a couple of 15 year olds doin' it in a high school bathroom, and it sure as hell ain't rape or molestation.

but there are usually reasonable loopholes to prevent ridiculous cases like this, such as if two 16 year olds are sexually active, and it's legal, when one of them turns 17 it doesn't suddenly become illegal

regardless, ten years without probation and permanent status as a sex offenders is Ri-f'ing-diculous
 
^ Considering the only offense is their hormones, oh yeah.
 
I don't understand how he could be put in jail for so long since it was CONSENTUAL. There are plenty of 15 year olds with older boyfriends.....guess they'd better not get caught.

Well, right or wrong, it certainly isn't worth going to jail over. Just another incentive towards abstinence until the legal age for all parties involved.

Also other reason for children to keep both their mouths and legs shut.
 
My God 10 years for getting a consensual blow job? He's just a kid for crying out loud...theyr'e both young teens experimenting and its classed as molestation? A Flawed justice system has just ruined this guys life! I really feel for this guy, cant imagine the pain he is in being in prison at that age and for something like that. It really sucks no pun intended :(

Someone break the young lad out of there. What a dissgrace.

When this poor Kid gets out aged 27, The best years of his life will have passed him by and he will be an emotional wreck who wont be able to get a good job and will be known as a freaking sex offender when him and his girl were just having a bit of fun. What a world.

god........../end rant.
 
Meh, if it was my sister, I'd say put him in for life. She sleeps with no one, ever. She'll get artificically inseminated if she wants kids. :o


Seriously, that is foolish.

I love it. People say you're a "pervert" (which refers to unnatural behaviour/desires) when you do THE most natural thing possible around which all life is based, have sex. Again, if the chick didn't have a gun to her head, she's just as big a "PERV" as the boy, though she'll be able to enjoy the benefits of not having her entire life ruined and not being anally raped and probably infected with HIV. :)

What? he slept with a 15 year old? even i dont do that.

Sounds like the judge was a real wacko hardass.

It wasn't even sexual intercourse, it was oral sex.
 
it doesn't say they had sex, it says oral sex

I would be willing to bet that MOST people lose their virgininty when tehy're 18 or younger
