Life on Florida’s West Coast

Genarlow Wilson – what they left out

Associated Press reporter Shannon McCaffrey wrote a story on state laws regarding teen sex, using Georgia’s Genarlow Wilson as an example. Her slant was decidedly leaning toward the opinion that the laws forbidding teen sex that can sometimes lead to young boys enduing up on sex offender lists is ridiculous.

What she failed to mention in her story is that not only did Wilson have sex with a 15-year-old when he was 17, he filmed it. Everyone who viewed that tape was technically watching child porn. I think it is a shame that the mainstream media wants us to forget that point. It is a very important part of what made Wilson’s case so much more grievous than other teens arrested for violating state sex laws.

I’m just posting this as a reminder that having ALL of the facts is important.
