An immigrant who is in the United States legally does not have to be deported if convicted of having sex with a minor, a federal appeals court ruled Tuesday.
In a 2-1 decision, the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco said the crime that Alberto Quintero-Salazar admitted in 1998, illegal intercourse between an adult over 21 and a youth under 16, was not the type of "vile, base or depraved" conduct that subjects a lawful U.S. resident to deportation.
Quintero entered the United States from Mexico in 1990, became a legal permanent resident in 1994, and runs a home repair and maintenance business in a Bay Area community that his lawyers declined to identify. His wife and children are U.S. citizens.
He pleaded no contest to the sex crime charge in 1998 and was sentenced to 11 months in jail. The court quoted a therapist as saying Quintero has attended a court-ordered treatment program, returned for additional therapy, and showed responsibility for his family and employees.
The court did not give details of the crime, and Quintero's immigration lawyers said they knew only that the sex was consensual.

If an adult having sex with a child under 16 is not considered deprived in San Francisco that what the Hell is?
The fungus is among us....
Well, well, well, the 9th Circus once again telegraphs it’s own interests.

Oh. That’s right. In San Francisco you are disgusting if you serve our country by serving in the military.
They have to draw the line somewhere.
Are you serious? It was a long time ago that any type of sex was considered deprived behavior in San Francisco. Immigrants also deserve special consideration as they come from a different culture. I think that you better watch your back. The PC police are watching.
Now, for sure, all the perverts and pedophiles will be moving to SF.
Thank God the immigrant didn’t have a cigarette afterwards. THAT would be a deportable offense in SF!
Will be,
LOL, that's a good one!:)
The House voted to censure Studds, on July 20, 1983, by a vote of 420-3.
Wonder who the 3 were?
Barney Frank and who else?
SF is insane. Too bad there is a pipeline of stupid ideas that originate there and get adopted in Seattle.
or said “One nation under G-d”
San Francisco is like one giant open air asylum.
Conyers was one of them....figures. Another pride and joy of Michigan. Thanks for looking this up.
Oh-My-God!
