KC V: I am a former police officer so your fascist attitude does not impress me.
In Arizona, California, Florida, Idaho, North Dakota, Oregon, Tennessee, Wisconsin and Wyoming the case would not have been prosecutable because Wilson would have also been below the age of sexual consent.
In places like Colorado, Missouri, South Carolina, Texas and others, he could have defended himself due to the closeness of their age.
In Georgia, the girl was only months away from being able to conset legally, and the evidence shows that she was consenting again and again in the case in question.
The prosecutor is not protecting anything except for his own misguided ideals. It is just another case of overreaching prosecutors out of touch with reality, like Mike Nifong, who will at least get his just desserts.
Age of consent laws are completely arbitrary and have no basis in biology, psychology or any rational criteria. Legislators just pull them out of their asses...
