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.

and the tape showed she was servicing people like a gas station.

willingly.

On tape, the cops saw a 15-year-old girl, a 10th-grader, performing oral sex on a partygoer and, after finishing with him, turning and performing the act on Genarlow. She was the instigator, according to her mother's testimony.

this is stupid...there is no justice in america, i'm not too sure about the rest of the world either. (i don't know b/c I haven't been, but I'd be willing to bet not)

justice is a concept like perfection.....it is unatainable

the young man did nothing wrong

yeah, i'd be disappointed in the lack of judgement on the video tape, but I would stand by him 100% and think he was in the right.

I'd be more disapointed if he claimed to never be PC and that PC was stupid and then turn around bitch and complain about a thread title he didn't like though.

The point that these people in this thread are making is that this happens quite often, and also to white males who have sex with white females, so it isn't a race issue.

Their point is valid however, like was already stated, race compounds many issues and this tends to be one of them. That's evidenced by the comments I've read on other boards and in-person regarding this topic. Race may not (read: may not) have been a factor in the fact that he was arrested and so forth, seeing as though things like this happen all the time, but it would be interesting to see if it may (read: may) have been an extralegal and undocumented factor in the sentencing. That can't really be proven but I'd be interested to see the sentencing criteria either way.
