I live in a very, very conservative and family-oriented community, Peachtree City GA. A couple years ago, a teenage girl here let her boyfriend into the house in the middle of the night, and the mother caught the two teens in the act.

A tale as old as time. Yeah, the kid should be kicked out of the house and the girl is probably in for some meted out punishment. Oh wait, they wanted to use the DA to stick it to the boy, even though none of the standard (i.e. actually enforced) sex laws had been violated? Ruh roh....

The 16-year-old boyfriend was abusive to the mother, so she called the police, and the kid was charged with violating Georgia's law against fornication., a law that had been on the books since 1833. He was convicted and sentenced to write an essay on why his conduct was irresponsible.

"Abusive"....guessing he was mouthing off since no mention is made of a physical assualt. Well if he refuses to leave, yep, you should call the cops and report him as a trespasser. Except, oops, they decided to charge him under an antiquated statute that was, for the most part, long forgotten. Intentional selective enforcement of laws is simply wrong on many levels, and when some DA feels like getting something extremely dusty out of the closet that is only used to "get" certain people, it should be struck down. They should have stuck with trespass charges. I'm guessing age-of-consent (16 in Georgia) was not an issue either otherwise the charge could have been statutory rape if there was some sort of age differential there.

In other words, all you guys who have spent your lives trying to make decent people of your children, you are screwed - just like your daughters! HA, HA, HA!

I sincerely hope this was an attempt to paraphrase the punk in question, because it doesn't sound very nice out of the mouth of a freeper.

Sounds even worse coming out of the mouth of a 16-year-old punk who just managed--with a little help from his buddies at the ACLU--to stick it to a whole town. But where would a mere child raised in a town that prides itself on its conservatism learn such contempt for decency and morality? Oh, perhaps he listened to the sort of "conservatives" who posted on this very thread.
