Namo and others, even though Georgia is Georgia, I think this guy's sentence resulted less from the fact that the victims were male, but from other factors: 1) He engaged in unprotected sex knowing he was HIV positive; and, less seriously, 2) there were multiple teenagers involved; and 3) somehow, this got into federal court, where sentences are often stiffer than in state courts.
I cannot imagine someone's getting 30 years for nonforcible sex with 15-year-olds without the aggravating circumstance of being infected with HIV.
