This ESPN article is maddening

"When he was a senior in high school, he received oral sex from a 10th grader. He was 17. She was 15. Everyone, including the girl and the prosecution, agreed she initiated the act. But because of an archaic Georgia law, it was a misdemeanor for teenagers less than three years apart to have sexual intercourse, but a felony for the same kids to have oral sex."

He's now 20 & two years into a 10 year sentence for getting a hummer from another teenager!?!?!

The same time his trial was under way, a local high school teacher, a white female, was found guilty of having a sexual relationship with a student -- a true case of child molestation. This teacher received 90 days. Wilson received 3,650 days. Un-fucking-believable!

And this isn't the worst part. "Afterward, the state legislature changed the law to include an oral sex clause, but that doesn't help Wilson. In yet another baffling twist, the law was written to not apply to cases retroactively"

Worst case of selective prosecution I've heard in a while.
The good 'ole Excited States of America treating a black man like shit. What a surprise that this is in the South. Cue the banjo music & the rebel flag. I believe that if it was a white kid this all would've been swept under the rug.

All this for a blowjob. If getting one from a fat intern can mess up Bill Clinton's life... who's next?
