Lay it on good and thick too, go for the cringe factor, cause you want em worried about how their community would react to such idiocy, and make it unmistakeable that said reaction would be bad.
Then pass it to the local newsies, if possible put the arm on one who has kids of this age themselves and push em to slip it in as their human-interest piece of the day.
Politicos HATE the spotlight coming down on them, and this'll fix it for the time being - but if you wanna more lasting solution you find out who appointed that judge and ensure THEY get an earfull too.
All that's the aboveboard stuff, of course, but it makes a difference, cause public pressure of a couple folks ain't much, but multiply it a bit, and it's like a tree root under a sidewalk, in the end the sidewalk ALWAYS loses, even though it's made of concrete.
Think on that one a while - just get enough thumbs on the bastards that they start to sweat it, and sweat it good.

If only the system worked that way, I would guess that is how it was intended to work...
Would you be surprised if that judge was appointed by folks who received their funding by groups from the religious right ?
And if the cash flow put him there, it'll keep him there despite any public statements to the contrary. The Politicos are cash eating beasts.

I've known about this for a couple of years. I caught it on the news the first time around because there was a big stink that his future was being ruined...apparently he had a football scholarship lined up.
There is one tidbit you've let out of the equation: it was video taped. That brings it into a different field. Now you have a 15 year-old girl on video performing sex acts. Yes, it was still two kids, but that bit is what got him.
Do I agree? Yes and no. I think there should have been something done. I don't think it should have been anywhere near 10 years. Someone mentioned service hours? Maybe.
Teens having responsible sex is fine *shudders* (I'm a prude), but making home porn is not something high schoolers should be doing. Sorry.

Actually I modify my answer. Age of consent in Georgia is 16. Since she was 15 and he was 17, he having sex with her was illegal because she was under 16, her having sex with him WAS legal because he was over 16.

It's a basic tennant of the law that no agreement made by contract over rules that prescribed by statute. For example, if I am terminally ill, I cannot consent to a doctor to end my life. In fact no waiver or document I sign can legally give him permission to kill me because our agreement (contract) cannot over ride the statue that says that one person willfully killing another is murder.
In this case the statute says that persons under the age of 16 cannot give their consent and that sex with a person under 16 is illegal. So when he has sex with her he is breaking the law. Now when she has sex with him, she is having sex with a 17 year old, and that is NOT illegal. So in this case one of them is breaking the law and the other isn't, even though they both consent and even though we are talking about the same act.

The REAL sin is that he's black and she's white. Has nothing to do with underage sex. This IS Georgia after all.
Frem, let us know if there's anything we can do to help.
BTW- you might want to check out the "Privilege" thread. There're more examples of similar persecu... I mean PROsecutions... there.
