unnatural laws

a 17 year-old boy in GA has been sentenced to ten years in prison for having consensual oral sex with a 15 year-old girl.

Genarlow Wilson and some friends rented a hotel room for a New Years Eve party in 2003. They planned to drink and smoke some weed and fool around. One of Wilson's friends, a 15 year old girl, performed an act of oral gratification on Wilson, who was 17. Although she testified that she was a willing participant, Georgia law made it a felony for Wilson to receive oral pleasure from a minor -- even a minor who was close to his own age -- so jurors found him guilty.
The verdict might have been different if jurors had known Wilson was facing a minimum sentence of 11 years, 10 to be served without parole. Wilson is also required to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life...

Many of the laws that "protect" minors were written in an era when sexual activity among minors was uncommon, or at least hidden. Today, a large percentage of kids are sexually active before they turn 16. It's one thing to protect immature children from adult predators, but quite another to prosecute minors who have consensual sex with other minors. A 10 year mandatory minimum might be appropriate for a child molestor, but that description doesn't fit Wilson.

and many child molestors don't even get that kind of sentence.
