Police in Grenada arrest man for having gay sex

(St. George’s, Grenada) Police have arrested a man for having sex with another male on the eastern Caribbean island of Grenada, where a law against homosexual acts remains on the books but is rarely enforced.
A 41-year-old man was charged with having sex with an unidentified 17-year-old man, Grenada’s director of public prosecution, Christopher Nelson, said Wednesday.

The age of sexual consent in Grenada is 16 but while the sex in question was consensual, local law prohibits sodomy under the charge of “unnatural connection.”

Grenada is one of several Caribbean nations that has laws banning sex between men. The penalty in most islands, including Grenada, is up to 10 years in prison, although Barbados and Guyana have life imprisonment, according to a 2010 United Nations report.

2. Not To Be Funny Here But Didn't His Partner Have Gay Sex Too.....

why weren't both arrested? You know what they say - "it takes two to tango". And please understand I'm not being anti-gay here. I just don't understand how if both participated in a gay sex act - only one person was arrested.

4. also not being "anti-gay" in anyway

And such a law is repulsive, 100%. But along the takes two to tango lines, I wonder if there was something more to this story, such as prostitution or something about the 17-year-old age of the partner?
