I've been following story for a couple of years. I'm not sure if Oprah covered it, but it has received a ton of media exposure. While they always kept the identity of the girl unknown beccause of her age..I find it a bit curious that it's only recently that they revealed her race. I think there was a similar story a couple of years ago on Oprah..bu that one was a boy and girl that were boyfriend and girlfriend. The boy was a black student, adopted by a white family. His girlfriend was white. I think he was 18 and she was 16 or 17. When her parents found out they were a couple..they had him arrested for statutory rape. I am also very glad that Genarlow is has been released. I admire him and his mother for standing their ground. It's great to see him able to pick his little sister up (something he fought for).
