I think it is a great idea. We need more islands like this.

It's the same in most states. So basically anyone who's a registered sex offender, regardless of the reason, is prohibited from living a normal, productive life...... for the fucking children.

I was too circumspect. I was making a joke.

for fucking the children.


On the non-joke side, I agree 100% with your point.

I apologize, I didn't get it.

Judge says let him go. Invalidated the previous conviction, convicted him under the new law, sentenced him to the maximum 12 months, gave him credit for the two years served. Bub bye.

The bad news is that the credit is only valid at the prison shop.

Good that he's out, but that's still two years too much, in my opinion.

According to CNN,

The state is likely to appeal the ruling... He could remain behind bars while the appeal proceeds.

They also indicate that at the time, the jury protested the crime and sentence--basically it looks like all they were asked was, "Did this boy receive a blowjob from this girl?" and there was video evidence from the party. They did not want to convict him of the crime or give him the (mandatory) sentence.

And if they would have had intercourse it would have been a lower charge with less jail time.

Stop! The GA attorney General has appealed the Judges decision.

What idiots. Thank God most of the judges get smarter on the appeals, except for the left coast circuit.

Well, according to the comments by the legislature as they passed the new law, it wasn't supposed to be applied retroactively. This guy still may be screwed.

From the first post: "Presiding Justice Carol Hunstein noted that in easing the penalties for teens, ‘‘the Legislature expressly chose not to allow the provisions of the new amendments to affect persons convicted under the previous version of the statute.’’"
