Sex education classes are lacking according to Wilson

Lawyers and health educators say most teens - and even many parents - are unaware that even consensual teenage sex is often a crime. The patchwork of laws and ages from state to state leaves many confused and critics say more education is badly needed.

"We do a disgraceful job of educating kids about the very real consequences that they face," said J. Tom Morgan, a former DeKalb County district attorney who has a new book coming out called "Ignorance Is No Defense: A Teenagers Guide to Georgia Law."

"If society is going to punish them as adults," said Morgan, "then society ought to educate them."

Wilson said in an interview Monday that he hopes to use his newfound celebrity to raise awareness among high school and college students. He said sex education classes are lacking.

What a remarkable young man Wilson has turned out to be. I do hope that someone helps him attend the college of his choice. It's amazing that with everything he has been through his focus is on helping others.
