12/20 Georgia kid gets 10 years for getting a bj from a 15 yo when he was 17. No parole plus sexual offender registration. http://www.csua.org/u/hr9 \_ IMHO 10 years is too much, given that the age of consent in Georgia is 16. I wonder if that's even longer than some adult rape sentensings there. \_ The point is, why is it even a crime? \_ Who pressed charges? The girl's parents? If so, they are despicable. \_ The people who made the law are despicable. \_ What's the problem with the law? It protects minors from abuse. What I want to know is how he got convicted. \_ Way to ruin a life morons. \_ I bet the girl was white. Our lily white daughter befouled by this colored boy!? Guilty! \- if BILLARY wins, he may get a presidntial pardon! are any of the sex fiend teachers having relations with students cases in GA? |

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. Wilsons 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 Wilsons 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. |
