POPSWilson released after two years behind bars for teen sex conviction Where the courts and the media are remiss in this case is most obvious: THE LAW'S SEX STATUTES ARE SEXIST. Even the court's decision to release Wilson labeled his actions a crime albeit a misdemeanor rather than a felony. How many 17 year old girls have ever been convicted of a sex crime for having consensual sex with a teenage boy?

POPS Draconian Law Overruled In Georgia Supreme Court Wilson's lawyer, B.J. Bernstein, said earlier Friday that she was elated by the ruling. "We never turned away from the courts," she said. "The Supreme Court issued a wonderful and just decision. We had faith in this all along -- although it took a little longer than we thought it would." She said Wilson, once released, will do all he can to encourage teenagers to do the right thing. "Genarlow is going to be committed to talking and working with young people to spread the message that he made a mistake that night and doesn't want it to happen to anyone else," he lawyer said. In a statement issued Friday, Attorney General Thurbert Baker said he will "respectfully acknowledge" the state Supreme Court's decision.

POPS$1 million pledged to post bond for "sex offender" ilson, explaining why he and his friends were prepared to offer $1 million to a young Georgia man they had never met, said Wilson seemed to have overcome many obstacles in his life to achieve academic and athletic success. "He is the kind of young man we should be celebrating, not incarcerating," Tilson said. "And if you were to ask most men to go back and think of their teenage years and think of the most reckless and foolish thing they did, and then ask how they would feel if that was videotaped … I think there would be a little bit of fear among most of us." Wilson was convicted in 2005 of aggravated child molestation. The law then on the books required a minimum of 10 years in prison and a lifetime on the state's sex offender registry for an oral sex conviction, a penalty more severe than that for intercourse.
