ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- A 13-year-old girl's sexual shenanigans have put a second man behind bars. Morris Williams, 22, told the judge he thought the girl was 18-years-old, but he found out Tuesday that ignorance is not a defense.

Morris Williams' mother wailed as he went off to jail. The judge asked for media not to show 13-year-old Alisha Dean's face in court, but her pictures are all over her MySpace page and they portray a sexy, 19-year-old divorced woman.

"She told me she had just turned 18," Williams said.

Williams said Dean picked him up on the street and after a few conversations they had sex. When he heard she was not 18, he went to her father.

"He was like 'well, she's 13,'" Williams said of a conversation with Dean's father.

Williams said he never did it again, but Dean has done it before with 24-year-old Darwin Mills. Mills was sentenced to five years in prison.

Dean's father wanted Williams to join Mills there.

"One of the reasons for the law is the fact that minors have poor judgment," said Jerry Dean, the girl's father.

Williams' father believes the jail sentence sends the wrong message to Alisha.

"I guess we just sit back and count how many after this," Henry Smith asked after his step-son was sentenced to jail.

Dean's family admits Alisha still stays out late and has yet to delete her misleading MySpace page.

Williams will serve six years probation with the first year in jail. The other five years he will have to wear an ankle monitor. His attorney says he will come back to court to ask again for a shorter sentence.

Okay, I'm so freaking conflicted over this story it's not funny.

For one thing, this guy was not to know she wasn't 18. If the picture on the news site is anything to go by, she could by 18. She looks a little young, but not 13 young. I'm not really the best judge, but I think not.

So guys are meant to ALWAYS ask for ID now? I guess it's the best way to go about it... But dudes are so scared of offending women out of fear of losing some nookie.

As for this girl... what's her punishment? Her dad's obviously doing nothing to handle her, and she's already way out of control. 2 men have already been put in gaol because of her games. There's got to be some sort of charge suitable for this, akin to fraud perhaps?

Basically this whore is getting away with it. She needs to be punished as well. Hell, she did it more than ONCE, she could learn after the first guy went to jail. Sending her to jail for Fraud sounds good, or just for being a damn whore.

dudes need to not be hooking up with girls they don't know anyway
