Seriously what does that have to do with the ruling. The ruling was based on the act. I'm not saying the act was right, and if I was the girl's father I may want to enact a little friendly reminder from my fist. But I don't think the young man committed a crime as outlined by the law and deserved 10 years in jail.
And apparently neither did the state legislature as they changed the law.
“... I don’t think the young man committed a crime as outlined by the law ...”
The girl was 15; the age of consent for sexual activity in Georgia is 16; therefore, the young man was guilty of statutory rape, under Georgia law.
“... and deserved 10 years in jail.”
Here, I agree - the sentence seems excessive to me.
So you’d take it out on the boy? What about the girl? What if it were your daughter?
