Why is Genarlow Wilson in prison?

[doc_bean]

She was 15 years old. If you want to talk about judgement, let's talk about 6 guys, five of whom with rapsheets, renting 2 hotel rooms, putting up a video camera, then proceeding to supply alchohol and pot to a girl younger than they, getting her drunk/high beyond the point of recall, then engaging in group sex acts with her, video-taping the entire affair.

Look, at the end of the day, I think we all know these guys knew what they were doing was scummy. They just thought they could get away with it. Turns out, the local DA has a spine and decided to actually believe the victim for once.

Should the girl have showed up to a party having drank some cognac already? Should she have packed an overnight bag? No. But I did attend several parties in my youth where somebody's parents were out of town, we all spent the night and had some drinks. Nobody got raped in the process. It's not just boys being boys. These guys planned this out, the video camera is proof of that.

Hmm perhaps I should read the article....

UPDATE:

As for Tracy, she did not drink or smoke that night, but willingly performed oral sex on several of the guys, practically one after the other, as the telltale videotape showed. Tracy had not wanted to press charges and was as surprised as the boys that police showed up at the hotel that New Year’s morning.

Right, so this guy is in prison (te sentence was about the blow job, NOT about what he did with the other girl) because a sober, consenting girl gave him a BJ. Justice for all !

As for the other girl: The entire thing sounded like a preplanned sex party (they do happen), I think she just had regrets after the facts. The guys probably didn't even realize they were pressuring her. Was it wrong to have a 15y old at their sex party? Sure. Was it child molestation ? **** no.
