Teens & consensual sex

posted in News |

So, this young kid (Genarlow Wilson), a few years back, was convicted of “aggravated child molestation for having consensual oral sex with a 15-year-old girl” at a party. After many court appearances and appeals and lots of outcry against the sentence (even the girl’s parent(s) spoke up in support of the young man), a new law was put in place that made the crime a misdemeanor that only carries a 1-year maximum sentence - as opposed to the mandatory 10-year sentence with no parole that was in place before. Lawyers and others have been fighting to keep the young man in jail and uphold the prior conviction. Personally, I don’t understand why everyone is so adamant that this guy stays in jail. He is not a child molestor, or sexual predator. He was simply a young kid with one thing on his mind. What teenage boy isn’t that way?!?! I do not have any real vested interest in this whole ordeal, but I must admit that I was happy to see that the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Mr. Wilson and ordered him freed from jail, overturning his conviction.
