One Of The Worst Blow Jobs In History: Genarlow Wilson’s Hard Time
IT could go down as one of the worst blow jobs in history.
Genarlow Wilson has served two years of a ten-year prison sentence for receiving oral sex from a 15-year-old girl at a New Year’s Eve party when he was just 17.
If Wilson had had intercourse with the girl he would have been free today. But because of a peculiarity in Georgia law, Wilson was convicted of aggravated child molestation and has another eight years to serve.
The law that punished Wilson was intended to stop adult men preying on young girls. An exemption was added that made sex between minors a lesser crime. But for some reason, oral sex was left out of the exemption. Maybe those drafting the law had forgotten oral sex even existed.
Since then, oral sex among minors has been added as a misdemeanor. But Wilson’s ten-year sentence stands.
Wilson’s aptly-named lawyer B.J. Bernstein recently told Fox News: “Genarlow Wilson has now spent over 26 months in prison for an act which now is only a misdemeanor, an act which was consensual and an act which happens all over the U.S. amongst teens, if you look at the statistics with regards to teen sex.”
The facts of the case are a little more complex than they first seem. Wilson and his friends were partying at a motel the night of the fateful blow job. The case probably would never have come to court if it wasn’t for the fact that the girl’s 17-year-old acquaintance accused Wilson and his friends of raping her.
During a search of the hotel, police found a videotape of the evening’s drink and drug-fuelled party that included scenes of Wilson having sex with the 17-year-old and receiving a blow job from the 15-year-old. He was acquitted of the rape charge in a 2005 court case. But the aggravated child molestation charge stood as Georgia law views 15-year-olds as unable to consent to sex acts.
Today, the New York Times takes the Georgia legal system to task under the headline “Georgia’s Shame”. And it reserves its most withering criticism for district attorney, David McDade, who pursued Wilson with a rape charge against the 17 year old.
Despite Wilson’s acquittal, the Times says McDade told a television audience recently that Wilson and his friends “basically gang-raped a 17-year-old.” Perhaps more shockingly, McDade has distributed the hotel sex videotape to legislators as part of a lobbying effort at the State Senate against Wilson’s release.
The Times concludes: “At best, this is irresponsible considering that Mr. Wilson was acquitted of the charge. It demonstrates poor judgment not by a minor, but by an adult who should know better.”
