I’ve been complaining for years about the sex offender list. It’s so broad.
That’s probably missing the point of the article though. They need a Romeo/Juliet law like I heard some states have. Besides, when you have a president saying it’s not sex, this is what we get.
Georgia does have such a clause now, but Wilson is charged for an act that took place before it was passed. The prosecutors are determined to put Wilson away fro all those years on a technicality
I have to agree with you on that one. My 14 year old son was at a neighboring house with a bunch of friends aged 12-14 (male and female), goofing off, playing video games. One 12 year old girl repeatedly ‘mooned’ everyone all night long, in spite of everyone telling her to knock it off. My son, thinking he would ‘gross her out’ lowered his jeans and pulled the leg of his boxers over, exposing a bit of his genitals for a brief moment (this is in agreement with all the witnesses present.)
We had to go to court for his charges on indecent exposure because one of the ‘mooner’s friends wasn’t quite 12 yet. They also charged him with solicitation because he told one of the other boys ‘Bet you $3 you wouldn’t moon anybody!’ They dropped that one but because of the sex offender law relating to anyone under 12 years of age, they had to find him guilty of indecent exposure. He’s now on the sex offender registry until he’s 30. Seems like kind of a harsh sentence for something the football team did regularly when I was in HS. I think punishing a kid like this for some stupid, thoughtless prank when he’s 14 is a travesty of the sex offender laws.
Oh and yes...the girl wasn’t charged with anything.
