ATLANTA — A Georgia judge on Monday voided a 10-year sentence given to a 17-year-old teenage male who was convicted of having consensual oral sex with a 15-year-old girl. Monroe County Superior Court Judge Thomas Wilson voided Genarlow Wilson's sentence and dropped it to misdemeanor aggravated child molestation with a 12-month sentence, plus credit for time served.

"A Georgia judge on Monday voided a 10-year sentence given to a 17-year-old teenage male who was convicted of having consensual oral sex with a 15-year-old girl."
"Although the sex act was consensual, it was illegal under Georgia law."
(Because 15 is too young to consent to a sex act under Georgia law.)
There were 17 paragraphs between those two sentences.
17 paragraphs into this sob story, you find the real reason Genarlow is in jail in Georgia. What you dont see is that the 15 year old girl was in a drunken, stoned stupor when she was molested and abused. What you also dont see until the third paragraph from the end is that the whole sorid affair was video taped. There was no doubt in anyone's mind who sat in the original trial that this guy was guilty and was convicted as prescribed by law.
Finally, another missing piece I guess Fox could not seem to dig up was that every other person involved plea bargained their way out of jail and Genarlow can still do that today if he would. But he wants to beat the system and as a result, has been in jail for two years.
This hit piece on the legal system is an effort by FOX and the other worthless news outlets to shift blame away from the criminal and onto anyone else. So typical.
Genarlow is right where he belongs.....and I applaud our Attorney General for ensuring he stays there.

Thanks, I was a work at 11am this morning, didnt have the time or equipment to follow every posting put up today. Glad you were able to spend time here.
.....the law now changed is so goofy....oral sex: 10 years. If he had had regular intercourse instead of oral sex, he would have gotten only one year on a misdemeanor. Now that is strange....Most on FR posting feel his sentence was extreme....so do I.....
Research the case a little first.
I’m glad he’ll be free soon. They never should have arrested him for anything.
Well I saw reports on it today showing the statutes etc. Also the prosecutor himself when asked if the girl was forced said no she wasn’t.....so, I am going off reports I heard....if it is wrong about the law, being one year for sexual intercourse, then pls correct me.....I don’t have time to do exhaustive research on every frigging story that appears on FR.....
Well I guess you may want to refrain from commenting on those 'frigging' stories.
It appears that this young "man" was at a party with his 5 thug buddies. They all had sexual intercourse with an unconscious/semi-conscious 17 yr old, they then received oral sex from a 15 yr old. The 17 yr old woke up naked, on the floor at 3 am, called her mother who took her to the hospital and authorities. His "friends", all convicted felons, pled guilty to sentences ranging from 3-6 years. Wilson went to trial.
He was acquitted of raping the semi-conscious 17 yr old but convicted of the charge that netted him the sentence.
So having consensual oral sex is a crime in Georgia? I suppose if he had raped her he'd be a free man and weren't we constantly told by the LSM during the clinton years that oral sex is not real sex?
If you want to discuss the massive media campaign to free this guy or what you as a father would do if your daughter had told you she had been gang raped by 5 felons and their friend, by all means give me a "friggin" ping.
Thanks for the information that matters about this case. Drunken stupor is hardly a state of competence for consenting to anything.
Now arrest the parents for not watching their children! THis is why we have so many single moms on welfare! Kids have no business having sex and with proper parenting, they wouldn’t. TAKE YOUR KIDS TO CHURCH PEOPLE!!!
...no need...if he was acquited of that ala OJ Simpson then there is no sentence....if I was a father who’s daughter was gang raped, I’d want to kill them....with that said, I still think 10 years for consensual oral sex is too harsh a punishment....I’ll stand with some from Georgia who seem to know the case top to bottom.....
I’d just like you to do a little research on the case. This wasn’t 2 lovebirds in the backseat. It was a pretty despicable crime. The guy has a very powerful media campaign going.
....I get it....I read many or the posts, pro and con and since there is alot of disagreement, it obviously wasn’t as cut and dried....and your beef then is with the prosecutor and the judge who voided the sentence....seems like they need to do more research.....however they were directly involved....I think there is some parenting problems to go with....
If the crime was that bad and the punishment valid, why did the DA offer a plea deal?
Remember, just because something is a law, doesn’t mean it is a just law. After this case, didn’t the GA Legislature change the law. Why did they change the law.
I have seen too many stories where prosecutor will offer the plea and the defendant doesn’t have the resources to take the case to trial. If none of the young men pleaded guilty, how would this case have turned out since I’m sure the prosecutor mentioned the other boys plead guilty so this young man must be also.
I haven’t seen all the evidence to know if he is guilty. Doesn’t the 15 year old say the sex was consenual even to this day.
What people have a hard time with is the difference in sentencing that we see. This young man gets 10 years for his one sexual act but we see female teachers get 1-3 years for having sex multiple times. Where is the justice?
I doubt if any of those involved had a strong father at home. Just check it out. All 5 of the others plead guilty and the msm wants you to believe they were kids. All had been convicted of multiple felonies before.
...yup, saw that they did....thanks for the info... even if you are 100% right, that gal bringing an overnight bag to a hotel with 6 boys/men is not a ringing endorsement.... there are lessons to be learned here by young folk for sure
