Precisely!
Infact, it happens all the time, the female is a lot older and the guy is younger. Does anyone care? No, most think the guy is just lucky.

Bible Belt Southerners don\'t like black boys bangin\' their white daughters.

The law should be changed in my opinion. They were both high schoolers. The law should state that high schoolers should be allowed to have sex with high schoolers. An senior (usually 18 years old) can\'t screw anyone less than a freshman is basically what I\'m saying. But a 19 or 20 year old shouldn\'t be allowed to bang a 15 year old.

Since she was a virgin beforehand it made him look like the bad guy.

The America law system is starting to unfold.

^^^It had nothing to do with making him look like the bad guy. If you go by the exact letter of the law the crime that he was convicted of "Aggravated Child Molestation" involves ANY injury. Technically since she was a virgin the sex did result in an injury.

The prosecutor is a dick and he still thinks he did the right thing.

Well, I definitely signed it.  God the American legal system pisses me off so much.  What he did was not worth destroying what was a promising life he had ahead of him.

If only he had gone home and killed a kitten instead, none of this would ever have happened.

The American legal system is in dire need of a facelift. Theres too many unjust laws and stupid laws and dumb penalties. Anyone can sue for anything and a kid that has sex gets 10 years. Marcus Dixon should take this case to the supreme court. I think it violates the Amendment about cruel and unusual punishment (dammit, I forget the Amendment and I just finished this in US History)

The Legal system is not whats wrong its people that are wrong, small little hum ding towns like this the judge has say and when it\'s 9-3 in race the majority will most always win.

To play devil\'s advocate. The petition is somewhat biased for Marcus, which means the story is obviously making him out to be the victum.

With that said, I think the girl was old enough to make the choice to have sex. I also think the male was old enough to know it was illegal and avoid putting himself in that situation.

1. he knew she was a minor

2. he had sex with a child, therefor a pedophile

3. online petitions are lame

^^^ I am with this guy.  I don\'t care if she was 1 day shy of 16 - She was 15 and technically a minor.  Is it legal for you to buy alcohol 3 months before your 21st birthday?

As others said he should have waited and that article is very misleading.  Rome is a college town - Berry College - not the backward ass town that it is portrayed in that article.  As for KKK rumblings in Rome - I guess that is a good way for the author to embelish the story and try and stereotype southern towns :rolleyes:

Rome is about an hour from here and it is a normal town with normal people.  The thing that people who don\'t live in the south don\'t understand is that this is the Bible Belt.  On my way home from work I pass huge billboards that say "Sex before marriage, don\'t do it" and other such religiously motivated signs (Swifdi would feel right at home) .  Personally, I couldn\'t care less for organized religion, but this case is not about race, its about moral issues and that is the way the jury and the judge looked at it.  Did most of you who are defending him realize he has two prior incidents involving young girls?  

As for armchair activism - I second mm\'s opinion.

Also, I don\'t believe we should make laws just to protect stupid people, that end up punishing people who KNOW what they are doing....

If a 15 year old girl goes and has a gang bang when shes drunk at a college guys apartment thats HER fault, not every 15 year old girl is a dirty slut...

A 15 year old girl doesn\'t know what the hell she is doing.  How would you feel if that was your daughter?  Really, I would like to see how you would handle it if it was your child being gangbanged. :rolleyes:

I had a Professor in college (he taught Sociology) and he advocated having sex with 14 year olds.  Needless to say he is no longer a teacher.  Maybe back in the 1700\'s it was acceptable because the average life expectancy was about 30 years old, but we live in a society that trys to protect minors from those who should know better.  If some 15 year old showed up at a party when I was in college she would have been told to go home and if she didn\'t she would have been physically removed from the party.

15 year old girls aren\'t stupid. They know what they\'re doing. Hell, I\'ve heard that it\'s now common for high school couples to blowjob and finger each other in the bus.
