Boy, 17, gets blowjob from girl, 15, + 10 years in jail

[Peter]

Reporting from Bumfuck, Jesusland:

He stood trial in February 2005 for five days. And at first, the jury's deliberations moved swiftly. Jurors voted to acquit Wilson of raping the 17-year-old.

"I mean it wasn't even an hour," said jury forewoman Marie Manigault. "We immediately saw the tape for what it was. We went back and saw it again and saw what actually happened and everybody immediately said not guilty."

But there was one other charge the jury had to decide on. The second girl in the videotape was 15, and the age of consent in Georgia is 16. And under state law, prosecutors charged Wilson with aggravated child molestation. To those close to the young man, it was an outrage.

"Nobody could believe that this is the law," Mann said.

Even jurors frowned on the charge. "A bad law, absolutely," Manigault said.

And in Georgia, that they'd had oral sex made matters worse. Until 1998, oral sex between husband and wife was illegal, punishable by up to 20 years in prison. In Wilson's case, even though he is only two years older than the girl, she was 15 and -- willing or not -- could not consent legally that night.

Whatever their feelings about the law, jurors felt they had no choice but to find Wilson guilty of aggravated child molestation. Moments later, back in the jury room, jurors were told for the first time that the conviction came with a mandatory sentence of at least 10 years in prison. In addition, Wilson would be forced to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.

Genarlow Wilson is in prison awaiting an appeal.

Good thing I lacked friends and peer relationships at a developmental level when I was that age.

Until 1998, even a husband and wife who could have been convicted of sodomy in Georgia.

2003 for New York's end of theirs.
And one always thinks of it as such
a liberal state.

i can actually top that, i'm afraid.  an 8 year old girl was caught giving another 8 year old boy a blow job in class, once.  luckily, i wasn't teaching them at the time.  she learned it from her 15 year old male cousin.  i fucking hate people.   

[Calandale]

Maybe we're just at the point where
we are beginning to learn to take
sex less seriously?

I mean, when I saw meerkats playing,
there was no shame in the baby going
down on an adult male. It just happened.

[Lucifer]

we're not fucking meerkats, and there's no way child abuse equates with "learning to take sex less seriously".

What happened to the two children after they were caught?

[Lucifer]

counselling, although both were already getting a lot of therapeutic support for abuse and behaviour reasons.  then we just kept an eye on them, after referring the incident to all the correct agencies.  i wasn't involved in the follow up, as i wasn't a permanent teacher at the school, but i know it was pretty rigorous.

makes my blood boil.

That's so shocking and sad. It seems that its becoming rarer for kids to be allowed to be kids for awhile now.

[Lucifer]

yeah, my point exactly.  when 5-6 year olds are wearing make-up and singing, "let's talk about sex, baby" (apart from the fact it's a crap song), i feel so sad and frustrated.

When my daughter was in kindergarten, two of her classmates decided that they were girlfriend and boyfriend.  They kissed in school one day and had to sit at different tables after that.  When the little girl moved away, they were both very upset and they exchanged gifts.  I thought at the time that it was cute and sweet, but looking at it this way, kids really are growing up too fast.

That is some damn fine dark humor.    :lol:

Hmm. My former acquaintance from college, of Italian descent, was bragging about a handjob he received from a girl at an early age.

I hate those who are devoid of common-sense too.
