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. ———

That's reeruned. There are many freshman in HS that give oral sex. Not that I personally know now but at the time I did. That law needs to be changed.

Many.

Good lord you know how many whores went to our school?

Many.

Yep, follow the letter of the law instead of allowing common sense to enter into the discussion. I really worry about this country some days. Other days, I just throw my hands up in the air and say fug it.

What a pimp

In GA no less. Half that state is related and they are bitching about 2 years.....damn.

Wow! They're both minors engaging in consensual oral sex; he gets ten years and she's the "victim"???

He loses 10 years of his life and has to be a registered sex offender for the rest of his life. Way to go justice system.

Unbelievable. I'd have done time for sure.

IIRC, there is no penalty for consensual intercourse between two teens of this age. But willingly give a blowjob ...

Every single person involved in the investigation, the filing of charges, and trial should be convicted of being too stupid to function in society, and everyone who voted for that legislative body should be assembled in an angry torch bearing mob on the capital steps right now.

Yep, I read in another article about this case that if he had sex with her and got her pregnant, it would have been fine.

Maybe if he avoids unloading in her mouth they could take the "aggravated" part out?
