MEMPHIS, TN -
(WMC-TV) - A rape suspect is accused of tricking a teenager into thinking he was a woman.
The ->-bleeped-<- suspect and his 14-year-old victim supposedly met in an online chat room. The teenager still claimed he had no idea about the suspect's actual gender, even after they were intimate.
"Quite candidly, it could have been an episode of Jerry Springer," said Memphis defense attorney Leslie Ballin.
The case ended Friday with a 60-day sentence for 24-year-old ->-bleeped-<- Jeron Winston for the statutory rape of a 14-year-old boy.
Is 60 days normal for statutory rape or is this a token slap on the wrists?
