To answer your question, in all honesty, I can say I probably would not have hosted, participated in and videotaped an orgy, especially with a 15 year old. I can tell you when I was 16 there was a 14 year old who had the hots for me and I completely blew her off because of her age.

As I said, maybe I am a prude?

What punishment would you suggest for a 17 year old who hosts, participates in and videotapes and orgy with a 15 year old?

My brother in law and his g/f had sex in the same room with his best friend and his best friend's g/f when he was about that age. That's technically an orgy, and while they didn't videotape it, I'm sure he could probably be prosecuted under some law, but he's white, so they don't really care. The fact is, "orgies" happen all the time with younger kids, and while you or I may not like it, it goes on.

There's an even larger question of how ethical it is for us to legislate what someone else finds pleasurable. Even though they're minors, they were still consenting people well within what people consider a "normal" age range difference.

Shit, if I'd been prosecuted for every BJ I got from a freshman or sophomore girl when I was a junior/senior in HS, I'd be in jail for a lot longer than 10 years.
