Our unique visitor count Monday was 35697, and Tuesday was 38423 — both near our historic highs. (The norm for a typical weekday is in the low 20000s.) My sense is that most of the extra visits were to the initial Ten Years in Prison for 17-Year-Old Who Had Consensual Oral Sex with 15-Year-Old post.
No, we won’t be upping our blogging on SexLaw as a result. (We’d blog about it independently of visitor interest.) But it’s interesting, though of course completely unsurprising, that this is indeed what many people want to read.
