I think his punishment was out of line and it should be reduced. He should be freed based on time already served.
P.S. I changed your thread title to something more appropriate.
I apologize for the crude title, but this has been all over the news recently, and I think it's just ridiculous. 10 Years?! I mean, sure, she was 15 and he was 17, but I've seen plenty worse.

2 years age difference is NOT a lot.
Bad call by the judge.
That's stupid.. There should be a law saying it's ok if theres less then 4 years inbetween IMO
Well, a 16 and a 12 y/o is a bit wierd.
Yeah. I knew a 19 year old that was going after 13-14 year olds. He's 20 now, and still doing the same thing....Originally Posted by Colin
Robert: Aw. I liked my title, but you're the boss. Well, one of them.
"They're polyurethane sex toys, Joe. They aren't capable of judgment."
Age of consent in Canada is 14, and the other partner must be under 18. So that's 4 year difference.
Thats pretty out of line if you ask me, I have been following this in the news for a bit now. I feel very bad for this guy even after what he did.
We have people who do a lot worse and rarely, if ever serve time like this.

Well, 3 year.
Isn't this the guy that was gonna be a pretty decent college football player until he got screwed by the court?
I think he used to guard Calvin Johnson in high school.
This is pretty old... It's been all over the news lately?

Wrong.
Age of consent is 14. Period.
Harper wanted to introduce a 16yr age minimum and a maximum 5yr age difference for underage partners, but it didn't pass or something.
The way you put it, a 17 with 18 would be criminal.
Sex @ 14 is a disgrace.
Tooooo many teens are getting pregnant, I worry like hell for my own, the last thing I want for her is a baby in her teens but shes only 6 at the moment so I have many worry free years.
Yeah, I'd say you maybe have 3 more worry free years. The worlds a changing, I wouldn't wait too terribly long once you reach double digits to give the talk. Seems like even in middle school now sex is a practice that is becoming more regular...... I worry like hell for my own, the last thing I want for her is a baby in her teens but shes only 6 at the moment so I have many worry free years

Safe sex etc should definitely be taught more in schools; in Sweden (or somwhere similar, i forget exactly), they have the easiest process for abortion, and most Swedes are for abortion, yet they have one of the lowest abortion rates. Simply because they're educated so well.
Yes and no, its down to each parent to educate thier child in a social sense, a school is there to educate them in an academic sense - so they are ready for the world of work. While it's a topic that warrants discussion in a school environment, the first conversations should be between parent and child.
@14 you're still very much a child, it should not be acceptable for a person that young to consent to anything at all, least of all sex.
