Should this kid be punished?

IP:

Just to clarify some things..
This kid Marcus Dixon(18) star athlete and scholar who is also black
has a relationship with a 15 year old white girl..
this is unheard of in this part or North Georgia..
but read the article and tell me what you think of the situation...
in my opinion...
If the girl was black we would have never anything about the incident




Marcus Dixon and his story have been burning up Internet connections and airwaves for the last few weeks. As an 18-year old high school senior and a top football recruit, he had sex with a girl three months shy of her 16th birthday. The girl claimed she was raped. The jury determined the sex was consensual.

Sixteen is the age of consent in Georgia. But Georgia is a place where interracial ... well, anything, still isn't a pretty sight to many; and in this case, "many" included the girl's father. Rape charges were filed against Dixon.

On a six-count indictment, Dixon was exonerated of all charges involving force. He was convicted of statutory rape, a misdemeanor, and an outlandish charge of "aggravated child molestation." The latter charge applies to any sexual act performed with a minor two years one's junior that causes injury. By mutual admission, the girl was a virgin and was "injured" in the act.
