Update on Genarlow Wilson

[ShannonCT]

The whole point of the case is that she is too young to give consent. What they mean is that she wasn't physically forced. Great... social pressure and drugs were enough.

Too young to consent to oral sex ("sodomy", according to Georgia law) but old enough to consent to intercourse. Hmm.. that makes a lot of sense. This is just an outdated, backwards law that should have been removed from the books decades ago.

The oral-sex girl still claims she wanted to do what she did. She couldn't give consent in the backward-Georgia-legal-system sense, but she gave consent in everyone-else-knows-when-a-teen-is-old-enough-to-make-decisions-about-sex sense.

He deserves to rot in jail.

That's what all of the Cletus-the-Slackjawed-Yokel types were saying on the news reports on the case. Congrats for joining their ranks.

Only if the prosecutor has to share a cell with him. Then they'll wish that 15 year old was around.

 

[JollyRoger]

Ha, ha. Good one. Georgia = incompetant. Other state legislators must spend a more reasonable amount of time making sure that drugged out men can videotape 15 year olds in sex acts without running afoul of the law.

Well, look there, you've got potential drug charges. No need to criminalize 17-on-15 consensual acts for none-drugged up sweethearts.

Do you know how many 17 year olds would be rotting in jail if your standard was enforced across the board? When I was 15, I had a 17 year old girlfriend. Should I have turned her in?

 

[VX250]

No, she should have turned you in so you could be brought to justice.

 

[Trajan12]

No, she should have turned you in so you could be brought to justice.

Now we see what your true motivation is. Jealousy plain and simple. You just don't like to see other guys getting any do you?

 

[VX250]

As long as they are over 18, and the person they are having sexual intercourse is a woman whom they are married too and it is taking place behind closed doors, then I have no problem with it.

 

[silver 2039]

For good measure she should have been stoned as well.

As long as they are over 18, and the person they are having sexual intercourse is a woman whom they are married too and it is taking place behind closed doors, then I have no problem with it.

A pity the law says otherwise...but at least you support lesbianisim.

 

[VX250]

Hardly, that's an outrageous suggestion.

Don't bring your religion into my government until your religion starts paying taxes to my government.

 

[VX250]

It's not just religion, it's common sense, and common decency.

Next you people will be saying laws against murder should be repealed since The Bible says 'thou shalt not kill'.

Why 18? And why married?

Murder has a victim. Consensual sex has no victim. Worst .... analogy .... ever.

Nope, it's religion.

Nope, false analogy as Shannon pointed out.

Oh okay, it's not religion.

Next you people will be saying laws against murder should be repealed since The Bible says 'thou shalt not kill'.

Oh okay, it's religion.

Wait...

 

[Patroklos]

You guys do realize this guy is a rapist, right?

 

[Patroklos]

You also realize he videotaped a minor, right? Two, actually.

No, he's not a rapist. The jury said he was not a rapist. He was not found guilty of a rape charge. Where did you get that idea that he was a rapist?


http://www.answers.com/topic/genarlow-wilson

The jury acquitted Wilson of the rape charge, but as the age of consent in Georgia is 16, they voted to convict him of aggravated child molestation for the oral sex incident, with the forewoman tearfully reading the verdict. Some jury members later complained they had not understood the verdict would result in a 10 year minimum sentence,[3] plus one year on probation.

OH TEH HORROR!

Let's say a 80 year old and an 8 year old decide to have conseual sex.

Does your brilliant theory still apply?
