From The Mouths Of Babes

A 17 year old man got 10 years in jail for receiving a consensual blowjob from a 15 year old girl at a party. So the question is this: who ratted him out? Was it someone at the party? And upon being charged, couldn't the girl just lie about it and say if didn't happen, or was she called in as a witness? And do you think at any point the man sat there, nodded his head and said, "Guilty as charged, your honor. Guilty as charged."

But seriously, I think it's absolutely a ridiculous sentence. If Scooter Libby gets out of an "excessive" sentence (the same kind of sentence the Bush administration put in place to punish citizens who lie to the government), can we please go easy on this kid?

It kind of makes you scared to have public sex at a party.

Now, why in the world would someone under 18 be charged for that? Christ, I coulda gone to jail for the rest of my life in underage consensual sex was actually a crime...
