when i was 15 i lost my viginity to a 20 year old.



raping bitch ... i feel so violated. :sulk:

Dig deeper, I mean really dig when you get to the core of the matter you will realize that the teen they convicted was black. This same law convicted a highschool kid who was excepted into collage to play football at a major university, but because the girl was white and he was black the father press the issue for the max sentence even though the girl made passes at him he was 17 and she was 15. The is a racist world and we live here.

WOW. This is a complete outrage. I don't know the statutes in that state, but that is just wrong to give a kid 10 years for blowin' it in some dumb whores face. What do parents think goes on when their kids are in high school? This crazied moral legislation makes me sick. The worst part is how is this kid ever going to get a job? I'm going to go break this kid out of prison, no lie. There is no way this won't get overturned someday, if it doesn't, expect it to become major news, especially if the kid was black.

Back when I was 20, I was dating the police chief's daughter in my home town. She was 17, and like a month away from 18. Needless to say I was scared shitless, so I did all the research I could on the age of consent in Iowa to see if I would be goin' to the slammer. I was surprised to say the least. The age of consent is 16 if the other person is below 40. So that means that a 39 year old guy can legally bang a high school sophomore legally in a bunch of states, but this guy is going to get 10 years. Somebody deserves an ass kicking for this law.

You might think that, but the judge is bound by law.
It's reactionary mandatory sentencing crap laws that get passed.
Think about that the next time you get all pissed off about some horrible crime and demand for tougher laws.

mandatory sentencing is bullshit really.

I will bet right now that the dude is black and the ho is white. Thats why he got 10 years. This is utterly rediculous.

That is terrible.

The women in the case were both black, but the prosecutor was the same as the Dixon case a few years ago. Same county. Same "10 year mandatory."

Hmm intresting read. Kinda like a Harper Lee novel.

Absolutely ridiculous. 10 years. That's like armed robbery level punishment. Insane.

Wow, we take a kid that could very well make a decent life for himself and guarantee that he'll spend the rest of his life as a hardened criminal. Our country is truly f***ed at this point. There are violent rapists and real child molestors getting less than 10 years.

My wife was 15 when I started dating her, 2 months before my 18th birthday. A year later she was pregnant, and her mother was going to go after me with a vengeance if I left her in the lurch, which I had no intention of doing. But lemme tell you, the idea of being labled a sex offender or rapist was scary as hell...

As far as activist judges, judges are to interpret the spirit of the law. If the law really states that this is a jailable offense, and that the sentence was correct, the judge has no choice. But the stupid people of Georgia need to pull their heads out of their asses and realize that all these laws simply don't make sense and were created out of fearmongering by extreme "moralists" in that state.

I haven't read through the entire thread of comments so if this has been said before I apologize.

The prosecution of this "crime" is so ridiculous that there has to be something that doesn't meet the eye. Without knowing much about this, I can't help but think the kid (male) was black and that he got his hummer from a white youth with an embarassed influential white mom and dad.

My gut reaction says racism.

That post bring up the scene from "Traffic" where the lily-white daughter of the drug czar is getting railed by a large African American gentleman so she can have money for drugs. Utterly disturbing scene.

Back on point, I think someone said both people in the case were black. It's just a case of a reeruned law and the judge didn't have the guts to go out on a limb and set a new precedent by not prosecuting/sentencing to the letter of the law.

Hey, I don't have a problem with some morality laws. But this is way beyond stupid. Like Phil said, I would've been thrown in jail for sure if they had this law when I was that age.

School accuses 5-year-old of sex harassment

HAGERSTOWN - A kindergarten student was accused earlier this month of sexually harassing a classmate at Lincolnshire Elementary School, an accusation that will remain on his record until he moves to middle school.


Washington County Public Schools spokeswoman Carol Mowen said the definition of sexual harassment used by the school system is, "unwelcome sexual advances, request for sexual favors and/or other inappropriate verbal, written or physical conduct of a sexual nature directed toward others."


Mowen said that definition comes from the Maryland State Department of Education.


According to a school document provided by the boy's father, the 5-year-old pinched a girl's buttocks on Dec. 8 in a hallway at the school south of Hagerstown.


Charles Vallance, the boy's father, said he was unable to explain to his son what he had done.


"He knows nothing about sex," Vallance said. "There's no way to explain what he's been written up for. He knows it as playing around. He doesn't know it as anything sexual at all."


The incident was described as "sexual harassment" on the school form.


School officials consider a student's age and the specific action when determining what administrative action to take, Mowen said.


Lincolnshire Principal Darlene Teach and Mowen said they were unable to discuss he incident involving the Lincolnshire student.


Teach said any student, regardless of grade level, can be cited for sexual harassment.


"Anytime a student touches another student inappropriately, it could be sexual harassment," Teach said.


School administrators at a Texas school in November suspended a 4-year-old student for inappropriately touching a teacher's aide after the prekindergarten student hugged the woman.


"It's important to understand a child may not realize that what he or she is doing may be considered sexual harassment, but if it fits under the definition, then it is, under the state's guidelines," Mowen said. "If someone has been told this person does not want this type of touching, it doesn't matter if it's at work or at school, that's sexual harassment."


The incident will be included in the boy's file while he remains at Lincolnshire, but Mowen said those files do not follow students when they move on to middle school.


She described the incident as a "learning opportunity."


During the 2005-06 school year, 28 kindergarten students in Maryland were suspended for sex offenses, including sexual assault, sexual harassment and sexual activity, according to state data. Fifteen of those suspensions were for sexual harassment.


During the 2005-06 school year, one Washington County prekindergarten student was suspended from school, and 12 of the county's kindergartners were suspended for various offenses, according to state data.
