Yes, those seniors in high school dating sophomores in high school are SUCH dangerous criminals they should be put behind bars until they are almost 30! Luckily the 15 year old girl was not white or Wilson would have to go away for life!
A 17 year old having sex with a 15 year old should not be a crime. Even if it technically is a crime, prosecutors have discretion in charging, and Wilson should never have been charged the way he was. If this had happened in my jurisdiction when I was prosecuting, I would not have brought charges. **
**In Iowa, a 15 year can legally have sex with a 17 year old. There is a 6 year Romeo and Juliet exception, which the Georgia Legislature has not seen fit to follow. Regardless, I think more harm came from charging the crime than if the prosecutor had chosen some sort of diversion method to deal with the behavior.
