For a kid hoping to go to law school and walking home from the bar drunk, its a bit more than a slip up. I know the standard should be the same for everyone, but some people in positions of power view getting arrested as part of growing up or something you laugh about later. To a degree it can be, but it can also mess up the future plans of a person who is otherwise an all around good kid.

This isn't to relieve people of their responsibility to respect the law. The main point young people need to take away is that refraining from things that often get you in trouble isn't enough. Don't even put yourself in a situation where its possible to get into trouble, be it with an overzealous cop or a lying teenage girl.

it's completely understandable if he was 25 or something like that. he was probably a junior, and she was a freshman.

And while it may be a dumb kid thing, or even accepted now (I don't think 14-15 year old girls having sex should be readily accepted), guys just can't put themselves in those situations. I always thought he was paranoid, but my father has always been big on me being careful around girls of questionable character. Similar thing with police or whoever, you simply can't give them any reason to get you for something.

The first thing I thought when I read the story was that if I ever have a son I will definitely drill this into his head.

who's blaming someone on not succeeding? apparently, reading comprehension is not one of your strong points.

Well, its seems pretty clear by you colorful thread title and the posted article that you think this dumbass moron was dealt a serious injustice and prevented from going to college because of the fact that he is black.

....or maybe you think gangbanging a 15 year old on video is acceptable behavior.

so he should get 10 years because some 15 year old girl was a willing participant in group sex?

I'll agree that 10 years may be a little overboard, but yeah, he should have gone to jail, absolutely. She's 15, I really don't care if she was a willing participant. Just because she is willing doesn't make it right. The fact that they were on camera boozing it up and chiefing the herb didn't help much either I would imagine (of course neither did the fact that it was a full on gangbang).

All the time, but most parents don't press charges against their kids boyfriends/girlfriends. There was a reason why he was arrested. The girl he had sex with claimed she was raped.
