The mandatory sentencing is what I am questioning. If this law was ever applied then I think we'd see a lot of more high school students in jail or with police records.

Inform yourself better. This is not a stat rape case, but a rape and sexual assualt case. He's now a convicted felon.

GA laws do make provision for such encounters between teens, if they are truly consensual. A 3 year age difference (15-18) would be a misdemeanor by state law in a consensual case. As such most HS stat rape cases are never brought to trial.
