An all-white jury in Kansas just sentenced a black male, Albert N. Wilson, because 3 years ago the now 23 year old, then 20 year old, met a white teen, then 17 years old, in a bar called the Jayhawk Cafe for adults 21 years or older. The two ended up making out with each other after having drinks at the bar and that has landed Wilson in jail for a 12 year sentence.
On April 3, 2019, the Douglas County District Judge Sally Pokorny sentenced Wilson, a college graduate, to just over 12 years in prison for kissing and making out with the then 17 year-old white teen.
DNA test(s) concluded that intercourse hadn't taken place nor bodily fluids was found on the victim according to a scientist with the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, who spoke during the trial. The only thing that was found on the alleged victim's body was his saliva.
The alleged rape occurred in September 2016 where the victim was examined. Reportedly, swab analysis was done validating there was no sexual intercourse.
The alleged rape wasn't reported to police until a month later in October 2016.
Many are calling the incident and sentencing an example of injustice to African-Americans.
An example of a comparison is a case involving a white male, Brock Turner, then 22, who was sentenced in June 2016 to a merely 6-months for raping an unconscious woman. Turner ended up only serving 3-months of his 6-month sentence.
Currently, a petition is in place to help support Albert Wilson and the injustice that he is facing. The petition which is online at change.org currently has a little over 26,000 of the 35,000 signatures goal.

This is an outrage let that man Free he hasn't done anything wrong she consented to it, As far I can see that state judge should be disbarred for judging this man like this 12 years for consent to someone he thought was over twenty one can because she was in a bar mf that's injustice when you f@#$_d mutilated, hunted, and killed our ancestors we forgave you and you was doing it out of hate. Let that man go free stupid b-----s!!!
In a bar 21 and up…i would think that everyone in that MF is 21 and up…12yr for a f-----g kiss in a bar THATS 21 AND UP…smh and what did she do call the police a month later wtf
Kenneth Steelman says:
If you attend a club and or bar it's that establishments responsibility to insure everyone is of age and not carrying any weapons for other customers safety. You go to a bar to drink and socialize not to check ID's before having a conversation with someone. The entire situation could have been avoided if the bar would have done there job!
Adele says:
This is very disheartening and needs immediate attention . She should be at fault for being underage at a adult bar. Her parents should be accountable.
Oct says:
Lol 😂 stop making out with random ppl duhhhhh
Was the parents charged with negligence?
She is a minor in a bar and I'm sure the bar been heavily fined and the bouncers going to jail also for letting a minor in the bar.
John Searcy says:
I bet that nothing even happened to the bar or bouncers. This is 100% against a BLACK man. Many won't agree but, history has proven it time and time again. Now if the rose was reversed, I guarantee that, who ever the White gut is, wouldn't see the inside of a courtroom. Smh. #blackinjustice
African Americans are so passive and submissive. Why aren't you asking what the name of the judge is and doing something when it is obvious it is racially charged. Y'all singing we shall overcome while y'all being murdered in the streets. Do something. Fight back idiots.
Jae anthony says:
How is this sentence legal?? How is this even a case over a kiss … this man has been violated his rights have been taken.!!! There was no sex !! So why is the word RAPE even being used in this article Trust and believe if I was in any relation to this young man The Bar The police the Court the County and the State would all be taken to court I'd take this all the way to the Supreme Court I'd have everyone's head in a dam stick and hold each and everyone accountable for this injustice of anyone on that jury reads this you should be ashamed of yourself for not standing up for this young man and objecting this ridiculous case god don't like ugly and soon your mirror will show just how ugly you are to Albert keep your head held high as your light at the end of the tunnel is approaching on your darkest days while being incarcerated remember all your successes that college degree you worked hard for your family your friends and the people who believe in you God bless A believer in you from California
The teen put herself in the setting of being an adult in a bar at 17. He would not be getting the same sentence if he were white. How is it the owners of the bar didnt catch the fact she was not old enough. She should be somewhat accountable for her actions
Ivey says:
What is the crime?
Truly this racially motivated injustice
Bernard Mack says:
The bar should be charged for letting her young a-s in to drink.
Michael c lemieux says:
The bar should have checked her ID. SHE SHOULD BE IN PRISON FOR. LYING. THIS IS WRONG.
I weep for America and her injustice towards the black race…..yet 90% of Americans claim to be Christian's who know God😳🤔
Marquita Harvey says:
The Bar owner should go to jail to as well then. And she should go to jail for entrapment,because she lied about her age. He was where he was suppose to be. She had no business in a 21+ bar. This judicial system need to be put to shame for this one…
How many times do we need to tell our sons to leave them alone?
Keren says:
Zakly!!
I agree with your statement..100%. When will these black men ever learn.
Right! But they're never satisfied. They have to quench that thirst for the white a girl.
Bobby Nash says:
And what happened to the owner for allowing her to be in there. That certainly has to be part of the young man's defense.
Ok yall, now I know that Jury duty is annoying and inconvenient as hell sometimes, but we gotta start making it a priority. For realz this time. …. talking to myself as well. Imma pledge to stop lying about not having child care, when I know mine are old enough to watch themselves.
Rhonda Glaude says:
?????????? 😰🤯🤬
Trinidad says:
Call Naacp and Al Sharpton there has not been any crime committed.
CHARLES CASTRO says:
It's not even a crime. Shitty lawyer.
This injustice has got to stop! That is absolutely wrong! I am outraged that Brock Turner did not receive the 12 years. There should be zero jail time for Albert Wilson.
Jackie Greer says:
Bulsh*t what was the seventeen-year-old girl doing in a bar anyway
Wayne Batiste says:
That's the same thing I was thinking, her parents should have went to jail
Defamation lawsuit is what I see. No way this young man should have to live his life with this stigma. Future earning potential for this college educated young man has been compromised. This young lady and her family should pay for ruining his life.
I agree with you my brotha & he should also sue the bar for not checking her I.d.😡😡😡😡😡😡
Sue her parents & the bar for not checking her I.d.😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Tommy Thompon says:
I'll be glad when the time of the table changes the law this is this is on cruelty to have our black man's locked up like this printly for no reason at all especially when you can't find any evidence I'll call it on Justice I pray to God someday that there would be a fair way of doing things the right way you're all this hatred and bigotry will not be coexist
Kappainc says:
According to Kansas criminal law, the age of consent is 16 years old. That means anyone aged 15 and below cannot give legally-recognized consent to sexual activity, and any charges levied due to sexual conduct with someone 15 and below will be considered "statutory rape."
Kia says:
This girl was 17, old enough to consent
This helps to add to the complications of abortion in rape cases. You don't think woman will cry rape so they can get an abortion? I wouldn't want to think so either but..
Full Truth says:
This is about half the story.
Her story is that she was forcibly raped.
There was a jury trial and he was found guilty.
It does seem that there are some legitimate questions about racial bias during jury selection, but those should be handled by an appellate court.
It's funny how the #metoo just disappears in all this.
Your Mother says:
It was proven sex did not occur
A Real American says:
Douglas County District Judge Sally Pokorny is clearly incompetent and must be removed from the bench ASAP.
phreaktor says:
Can someone explain how this went from hooking up at a bar with a random chick to the cops being there?
Bobby Jacobs says:
There is no way this is actually happening. There is more to this story because thuis would be pathetic.
Eyo says:
Uh. Sound like you just got your wake up call about what goes on in America. Not sure how you've been missing it.
James true says:
She accused him of rape! All evidence pointed to no sexual intercourse, video footage on the streeet shows them returning to the bar together minutes after they left. Video footage shows her grabbing him to the dance floor and he was pulling back. He testier that he didn't have sex with her and she was not happy about that. So all they did was kiss and he was still convicted. An all white jury of his peers haha
Vivien says:
Basically she was insulted at being rejected and cried "rape." I'm a woman. When I was young a friend was accused and acquitted of rape. People of both genders have to be responsible about what they say. His life was ruined. Nobody heard or said "a quoted." Back in those days all he had to do was give up his family and friends. That's all. He could move. Today the Internet would haunt you.
I haven't heard "making out" in so long it's sad. Since when is it a crime? I missed that.
They convicted him with video footage and DNA?
Aly says:
There are statistically more white people than black in the US, therefore more white criminals, not necessarily proportional to the population. Only 20% of the country is black, so there is no way there are more black criminals. I hope this young man is not convicted.
Lola Britton says:
This absolutely ridiculously and obnoxiously unjust! Obvious bias from all white jury! Hell, Inkissed a bartender when I was seventeen at an over 21 club in theb70s.
Blatant racism jusst shows your ignorance. Pressing it unfairly regarding the legal system shows your evilness and collusion. Just be fair!! White people with money have done far worse. I feel sorry for him and for our ignorant people ruining the peace of all of us equal human beings.
anthony eury says:
Where Are All The Rappers Flashing All That Money, Al Sharpton and The Local Community Activists, Jessie Jackson Rainbow Correlation, T.I, I mean WTF! ?
L. Dean says:
When are some Back men going to wake the F up? These white girls consistently get them in trouble and they still keep running after them! When you use your p---s instead of your brain, you end up like this! NOW you want to stand their and cry, you weren't crying when you were with this white h----r whose going on with her life while you waste away in prison for 12 years!
Kelly C Linder says:
I agree with your perspective of black men and white women just because of the history. I hope that he is able to get it rescinded in some way and then sues the hell out of the family and judge! Either way, I can understand why black people hate us. This is absurd. White people and true rape victims should be jumping up and down, screaming, and making sure people see this for what it is. Shame on these racist a------s.
Carl Lee Burnett says:
It's her Parents!. They both were underage . The facility should be sued
Is the bar/establishment in any trouble for serving her?
Where Are All The Rappers Flashing All That Money, Al Sharpton and Tge Local Community Activists, Jessie Jackson Rainbow Correlation, T.I, I mean WTF! ?
Tang says:
What people don't know is that there is surveillance video of the no-named girl dragging Albert Wilson onto the dance floor. Why is she in hiding and her name not mentioned? Then on top of that she had to think overnight on what story she wanted to make up before going to the hospital the next day. She instead told her friends she wanted to go to sleep. Who wants to go to sleep if something happened to them. Surely not me. This chick is making it bad for real victims that are being abused each and everyday. You literally throw yourself at a man, go to a bar while underage and then hide. How old were her so-called bruises? No one really knows. And then on top of that she claimed that she was so drunk and she couldn't walk. There is video of her walking fine leaving to go towards his house and you already know they have video of them also coming back. What a shame. Young men should be very cautious of the women you deal, especially young black men.
They're calling this rape and rape victims' names her never released.
Violeta Ortega says:
I think it is an unjustice very sad. What was she doing at the bar anyway.
Cassia A Tatum says:
This is shamefully outrageously downright wrong on all kinds of levels I pray this is overturned and the young man is found not guilty his life is being ruined over color of the skin
Maddog says:
Blacks shouldn't be messing with white women.
@ Maddog I am sure it was the other way around I bet White girl entice/lured him. The entire incident of a rape charge is a conflicting story. It sounds like a Racist Entrapment for Albert N. Wilson. The Kansas Bureau of Investigation, who spoke during the trial. The only thing that was found on the alleged victim's body was his saliva.
B------t blacks commit more crime like 10 to one and most have prior records that's why they get more time. Prior record probation or parole. Stop with the black peoples are under assault no one I MEAN NO one is buying it but the liberal media and low IQ voters like yourself. Blacks commit 20 to 1 crimes then whites.
Rosa5060 says:
Actually that's not true. In raw numbers Whites commit more crimes. If you look statistically the numbers are skewed because Blacks only make up 12 percent of the whole US population so the statistics look higher. Also sentencing guidelines make up skewed sentencing structures. High IQ or not, you should research before making inflammatory statements.
B------t.
I guess there isn't any injustice or racism in America Mr Shawn!
James W. Wiggin says:
Under our criminal justice system, individuals are sentenced for their crimes, not races. Your statement is the essence of racism.
KinCA says:
James W. Wiggin, If only your statement were true. Our criminal justice system, while good, is not perfect. It is run by humans who have biases and flaws. It has been proven time and time again that non white males receive, on average, much harsher sentences for the same or lesser crimes than white males. I've not seen statistics on women offenders.
Carol Brady Fonvielle says:
James Wiggin- What parallel universe are you living in young man? Certainly you are not a well-read or intelligent citizen of the United States of America.
Melanin is Beautiful says:
B———t we do not commit more crimes. If you do your research on an actual search engine that is not based around black people being of lower class than you…then you'd know that white people have committed and gotten away with raping, killing, robbing, kidnapping, committing fraudulent crimes etc and they have walked with nothing but a slap on the wrist. There's a 22 year old WHITE boy who rapped an unconscious woman recently and guess what?! He got off with some bs 6 month punishment because he is a great athlete and didn't need to ruin his name. So that woman having to live her life tarnished and mentally ruined is nothing because he is going to be a great athlete at college or whatever. So this is ok with you because he's white and he doesn't fit your so called percentage we make of the real criminals right? Your daughter, neice, MOTHER, sister…have this happen and it's ok cause he's white but if he's black LYNCH him? You are the problem with this world. You are the reason why we can't overlook our skin color and come together as a whole and fight against ALL crimes of ALL race. One race is not better than the next. But if you want to be technical about it love. We actually come from superior bloodlines and could NEVER be beneath you. We make up a majority of the medical field, scientists, Criminal Law, BUSSINESS OWNERS, Professional Sports, Professional Music Artist, Professional Music Producers, Film directors, Actors, Actress, MILITARY LEADERS!!!!! You get the picture. So no we are not out committing all crimes. Because there is an outpouring of BLACK EXCELLENCE yearly!!!! West Point just shared some amazing BLACK GIRL MAGIC of their class of 2019. Maybe you need to turn off your BLACK-Radar and be an American citizen and learn the greatness of everybody in your country and not sit on your recliner in your double wide and judge my race unfair because of our perfectly sun kissed skin. Melanin beauty is what God blessed us with and you are not superior than he. Love has no color dear. But people like you make sure it's never unnoticed. I fought for you and everybody else here in this country to have a fair trial, equal rights and freedom of ALL!!! But nothing is equal and we have no freedom for everyone here of African descendants. You need to pray for forgiveness and learn the way of the world today. Because one day you may just be in a life threatening situation and saved by a BLACK person that you thought less of today. God is love. Love has no color. And color is found in rainbows after Gods tears shed due to our world filled with many YOU!!! Be blessed and I pray for your change of heart. You don't need to be raising children because they are the ones pulling school shootings and church killings.
Sooo true ameennnnnnn! White PRIVILEGE thats the name! Free game here soak it up ☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔🎯🛎🛎🥊🤦😔
Yendor Ibuntu says:
Stop casting your pearls to swine? You're giving this fool to much credit, it's obvious he doesn't have the brain capacity to receive the truth, or live in a double wide.
👏🏾Well said!!😍
Shawn, quick question…WTF does that stupid A$$ comment have to do with this particular/isolated incident? Right is right and wrong is wrong regardless of color, gender, religious beliefs. People like you have bought into politics & this whole Liberal/Right Wing BS & hide behind computer screens & wait for things to happen so you can get off your true feelings are disgusting.
You are completely wrong. This case is an example of the justice system treating a young black male differently than it would a white male. 100% of last year's mass shootings were committed by white men. The truth is blacks are arrested more often for crimes whites would not be arrested for, then receive harsher sentences and serve more of their sentence. These are facts, look them up.
This has noting to do with who commits more crimes. He is not every black person, even though your narrative is false. This is white girl revenge. This is male racist bigotry at its finest. The white man wants to make an example. If lynching were still popular they probably would have done that. They are racist. No one should be in jail because they are kissing while black.
Sapheerah says:
So why do black men get more time for the same crime as a white man ?
Wow! Way to show your complete ignorance.
Pyro says:
First off there has to be more yo this story.
Secondly did anyone else notice that not only was she under 21 and not allowed in the bar BUT NEITHER WAS HE?!?
Was it all ages night (some places that serve occasionally have them, and they are a bad idea!)
Did he get her alcohol? Since shes underage that would be illegal.
Did he take advantage of her after getting her drunk? That would be illegal.
Obviously not all the facts are in this article.
Some states have sentencing guidelines that once convicted would have given the judge no choice in the sentence. I therefore am not as outraged by the sentence as I am by the actual conviction…but only if the entire story is as printed…and again I suspect not.
walter77777 says:
The assumption of Wilson was that, since he was in a bar, that ht woman he was messing with was over 21. This is a flagrant miscarriage of justice.
All your possible assumptions or questions are wrong. He didn't rape her all evidence says no sex took place. Video footage was available. She was hurt because he didn't wanna have sex wiTh her. All white jury working 8 females in a racist town is what happened to him.
T Wood says:
This is just wrong on so many levels
This has nothing to do with coler or race its the system thats f----d up and they wont change it .
Ricky Presley says:
If your White your Right!
If your Black stay back!
Double Standards. The Justice system is not fair towards Blacks!
In this Life you have to be so ever careful who you allow in your circle. So many people in high positions Love to show and demonstrate their Power! That Judge knows she was wrong. Every dog has his day! Some have 2 or more. Karma has a way and getting back at you! Word of caution be mindful how you treat people. My God bless this young man. Protect him while going throughout this journey. May God open this Judge's heart to be compassionate. And to realize she made the biggest mistakes of her Life!! Treat people the way you wanna be treated. Blessings
Lacey Joy says:
Why the f--k are you calling her the victim? It was consensual was it not!???
Maureen Couture says:
Every American should be outraged and ashamed…..this is an abomination of
the pretense of "equal justice for all". I pray that there is an attorney out
there who has integrity, and the courage to reverse this.
A white guy could have raped her, beat her up and GOTTEN off with a slap on the wrist. I've seen it. Cause we would not like to ruin a white kid's future.
Cheryl Mallory says:
This is just outrageous! They were kissing eachother. Get over it and let this man have a life. My god this was consensual!
Jesse H Farmer says:
That's not what she said. She said she was raped.
I guess once a woman kisses a man, he has full right to whatever he wants from her? I bet she was dressed provocatively.
#HadItComing
Forensics found no dna evidence of sex. Video surveillance saw them leaving his place minutes later together after the "rape". They went back to the bar and he danced while th other girls and she went home solo and angry.
Collette Smith says:
It is sad. Women and men crying rape when they use False ID's . People's lives are altered for the rest of their life. No kind of consideration. Then those who have been raped are too scared to speak their voice because no one believes them. Hmm what's wrong with this.
Shake My Head says:
@Jesse H Farmer. So you're telling me after reading the whole story with the facts and surveillance cameras, you're still studying with her and think he had it coming??? So basically you're just saying you hate men!!!! Lol
Felicia Stacy says:
I agree with the comment made a little furture up by Gloria….I didnt see where it said a female was involved…it says white teen…but whoever or whatever it was this is ridiculous…i totally disagre with these actions..is this how we make America beautiful again…this is not beauty in any form
