Teen who was sentence 10 years in prison for consentual sex to be released

DO not get blow jobs in georgia would be the moral

That DA should be removed.

10 years for consensual oral? 17 and 15?

they were both minors, that's a junior and a freshman. The video taping is weird

they should have both been given misdemeanors at the most, forget jail, where are the parents?

the DA should be removed for seeking that kind of punishment anyways

Was the DA looking to get re-elected perchance?

You know what? They'll probably end up in jail that long anyway, if the lack of parent presence to stop that is a factor, may as well get a head start.

Every teenager who has sex should go to jail. (Just expanded on your notion)

No, they just seem like pretty dysfunctional teenagers. The guy was also accused of rape and got off, but there was a video of him being one of several people to have sex with one girl in one night, unless I misunderstood the other article I read. Sounds like a kid with a future.

It doesnt surprise me that chick would get drunk let a train ride her and then call rape when she sobers up.

he should still be given a chance to fail or succeed on his own, this is still America

No its Biblepartyusa

Yeah felony definitely seems a little harsh. Especially when they were both minors and consenting....la

and this gets a person 10 years in prison and a sexual preditor status? Kids are going to have sex. I would have given him a year for stupidity for taping it but other than that it is teens being teens.

I agree where were the parents and why would a hotel owner let teens rent a room without and adult?

teens are going to have sex just like teens are going to drink. Putting them in jail isn't going to solve the problem.

Having a serious debate about the spread of disease is. For example many girls contract STD in their throat if the do this.

"Contrary to popular belief, sexually transmitted diseases (STD's) can be transmitted through oral sex. When performing oral sex you can contract such STD's as oral herpes, hepatitis B, gonorrhea, syphilis, genital warts and even HIV. The way that STD's are spread is through the sharing of fluid bodily fluids, so if you have a cut in your mouth, even a very small and seemingly harmless or unnoticeable one, you do run the risk of getting an STD even if you are not engaging in sexual intercourse."
Teen Sex Education Stories: Oral Sex & STDs

telling your teen the truth of the consequences will deter them more than this "God said wait until marriage" Teens want to know why and they natually question authority. They simply roll their eyes at such "God said so statements"

I am sure if this girl was aware of the reprecussions and took it seriously she would not be doing it. Also her parent could have talked to her about the social rammifactions of it of being labled a "slu*" "who*e" and other such names for premiscious women.

Same goes for males. Males needs to stop being fed this concept that women are to be treated like sex objects and here for their amusment, entertainment and pleasure. This whole hip/hop and rap culture is breeding a whole generations of teens glorifying sex and abuse of women sexually.

We have a sexist culture where women are idolized as sexual objects. I never see men on commercials strutting around in skimpy outfits and tight thongs and 5 men to a women. men are always seen with dignity and almost always fully clothed unlike our women.

Come on this is rediculous. I can't believe anyone would condone this type of punishment. I find nothing wrong with minors having sex. I was getting laid on the reg since I was 14.

Yeah but you're from Boston :p

You guys are forgetting, the DA asked for a harsher sentence. It was the Judge and jury that gave it to him. They must of seen cause?

Yeah he was Black and she was White... It was Georgia for fuk sake.

IMHO, they were kids (teens). Whoopi Goldberg said, "you can't stop kids from having sex.....it feels good!" According to both parties, the sex was consensual...the law on the books was a little archaic and ridiculous...it was overturned...he should have been "grandfathered". The Atty Gen, who is appealing the ruling is "black", as is the defendent. It's a clear case of him "sucking up" to his superiors..."selling his own, down the river", for some brownie points. Sad.

that fact that we're even talking about their race is what's sad

I would advocate that something legally (albeit very minor like probation) should be done because they filmed it, technically producing child pornography. But this is very different from an actual "child porn" case and must be treated that way.

Teen sexuality (so long as it doesn't brake laws of consent) is a matter which should be largely left in the home

If had been jailed for every time that happened to me, I would be 500 before I got out.
