Bail denied for U.S. man jailed for consensual teen sex
27/06/2007 4:45:19 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Printer-friendly page A judge denied bail Wednesday for a Georgia man who was sentenced to 10 years in jail for having consensual oral sex at 17 with a 15-year-old girl - even though another judge tossed out the sentence a week earlier. CBC News Genarlow Wilson was originally sentenced to 10 years in prison for having consensual oral sex with a 15-year-old when he was 17. He was denied bail on Wednesday. (Courtesy of Wilson family/Associated Press) Douglas County Superior Court Judge David Emerson ruled that Genarlow Wilson - who is now 21 and has been behind bars for 27 months - will have to stay in jail at least until October. That's when the Georgia Supreme Court is scheduled to hear an appeal by the state's attorney general, who is challenging the earlier court decision to void Wilson's 10-year sentence. Attorney General Thurbert Baker had asked that the appeal be heard sooner, but the court rejected his request. The former honour student was convicted in 2005 of aggravated child molestation, after receiving oral sex at a New Year's Eve party in 2003. In Georgia, the age of consent is 16 and under state law at the time, a minimum 10-year sentence was mandatory for the crime. Wilson's original sentence was widely criticized on the grounds it was grossly disproportionate to the crime. State legislators later changed the law to make the crime a misdemeanour punishable by up to a year in jail. On June 13, 2007, a superior court judge ordered Wilson's release, calling the original sentence a "grave miscarriage of justice." Baker immediately appealed the ruling, arguing that the judge overstepped his authority. Baker said the decision could result in the release of some 1,300 child molesters from Georgia's jails. When Emerson ruled out bail for Wilson on Wednesday, he said state law prohibits bail for people convicted on that charge and those who have been sentenced to five years or more. He also cancelled a bail hearing that had been scheduled for July 5. Earlier this week, prominent New York City investment manager Whitney Tilson and 10 others volunteered to provide $1 million US in bail money for Wilson. | |

Well, I honestly find that having intercourse before 16-17 is too young.
But going in prison for doing consensual stuffs? weird... | |

Well, I still find it a little young.
But some people might be ready before others, I don't know. Humans are complicated. | |

Abstinence... I never really understood it...
I mean, I can understand if you're not with someone, but when you have a boyfriend and you've been together for a while, it's normal to make love nah? It's not gonna ruin your life, unless you weren't ready or didn't use contraceptives. Why do Americans link sex with guilt? | |
I'm feeling truie-eau-truie. right now.. |

Illogical methinks...
People should question more what they believe in. If the only reason they don't do something it's because "God doesn't want it", I find it is quite weak a justification... | |

what I don't get is how they were able to prove that it even happened? Or how anyone even found out...
but nah, people are ready for sex at like 12... if you can get a boner, or if you have your period, you're ready, physically. Beyond that of course it's choice. what's sad is that this wasn't rape... it was consexual... | |
I'm feeling a live set right now.. |

Since the OP ( and some other people ) never provides link to their stories we can't verify the source nor follow up on it. |

Yah we're physically ready for sex at 12, but mentally, I doubt it.
We're not in the 1800's anymore, people stay "young" longer. Before we were considered adults at 14 or something... It has changed, basically we're more immature than they were. Less responsabilities, more time spent in schools and less in work. ***what I don't get is how they were able to prove that it even happened? Or how anyone even found out...*** honestly, I don't know. Maybe they told their parents? (but what kind of parents would call the police for that, I don't know) | |
I'm feeling misanthropic right now.. |
