I can't find the link to the ruling (it was from late 1800's) but it
said basically "Having sex with a dead donkey on the courthouse lawn in
Marietta was a misdemeanor with a $50 fine". But a 17 year old boy who
has consensual oral sex with a 15 year old girl can get a 10 year prison
sentence, felony record, and a listing on the sex offenders list (this
is currently being questioned here since the law that sent the boy to
prison was reversed as being too vague but after he was convicted).
