Black Teen's Sentence Overturned for having sex with minor.
 

Georgia court ruled that he should have been prosecuted for the misdemeanor charge of statutory rape instead of aggravated child molestation.

I think 3 years difference in ages might be pushing it he was 18 she was 15...however I don't think it should be child molestation.

My aunt in Texas is a probation officer and my cousin turned 18 and his girlfriend was 16...and I remember her warning him that under current state law if he was brought up on charges he would have to register as a sex offender the rest of his life.

Kinda fucked up if you ask me.

Glad someone was able to help this kid out...his life would have definitely been ruined if he had to register as a child molester...you might as well had just locked him up for life.

i agree wit you :winkwink:

In some states of Australia it is legal for anyonbetween the ages of 14-17 to have sex with someone who is no more than 3 years their senior

IE a 14 year old can legally have sex with a 17 year old but not with an 18 year old

Wasn't this the case that made HBOs tv show with bryant gumble? Totally fucked up situation but its glad that he was able to get out of prison.

Good for him, that is kinda fucked up.

there should be a buffer, ie 2 - 3 years age difference OK
