He got 10yrs in prison. Tell me that isnt FUCKED up. The guy just happened to turn 18 while in his senior year and got put in prison for dating his HS sweetheart.

Both the judge and DA should burn in hell for ruining a kids life with a bright future like that... Those laws werent intended to be used like that... But anyhow, be careful... If you're in the wrong income bracket or the wrong race and you get a over-zealous DA and judge you never know what may happen.
i heard about a story just like this on a talk show, and the guy actually got out of prison the next year because they took the case before the supreme court and proved the same point you did, that the law if for protecting young girls from OLD predators.

it just sucks that his athletics and grades got all effed up because of that stupid girl...
