When sex isn’t sex, but other things are?

Go figure this one out. In California, a guy gets out of being registered a sex offender because he didn’t have sex with an underage girl.
Got that?
He plied a 16 year old girl with alcohol and got her to give him oral sex. Now, I suppose in this case I should say a blow job, because, oral sex in California is a SERIOUS matter, but having intercourse is not.
Ohhhh kayyyyy.
The California Supreme Court, realizing the oddity of that legal quagmire, did the only logical thing, they decided he didn’t have improper sex at all, since it’s not fair to punish someone for having one type of sex versus another. Now, they COULD have said he was quilty of having sex with that girl, which in turn I would imagine have compelled the legal system to view ALL forms of sex as a crime worthy of listing, but, they didn’t. They decided that since having intercourse with a minor is ok, everything else is as well.
Folks, California or not, that’s just not right.
