The Marcus Dixon case and media sex culture analysis
Charley Reese critiques coverage of Marcus Wayne Dixon, an 18 year old from Rome Georgia who served 15 months of a 10 year sentence for aggravated child molestation.

Reese notes Dixon was acquitted of rape, discusses Georgia statutory rape law, and warns of media sensationalism and its impact on youth.
