It’s a tough one. He didn’t know obviously, but 12 year olds and 19 year olds can have lots of differences and he probably could’ve done more checks. But she should be having consequences too - she knew what she was doing.

He broke the law, ignorance is no excuse. However, surely the mother must have wondered where her 12 year old child was? She would have known that she was registered on a dating site, because who lets their 12 year old free on the Internet? Maybe social services should be involved, if they're not already.

Anyway ontopic, it's a tough one, if he genuinely believed she was older but I can't see how a 12 year old could look 18 (which tbf if you're meeting people through an app like that you should really make sure if they look borderline) Also sending naked photos of her to his friends, grim

I’m of the belief that anyone underage that lies about their age to sleep with someone should face consequences, it can ruin people’s lives, especially if they have fake id’s to get into clubs and stuff, cause if you meet someone in a club and they’re drinking you’re bound to assume that they’re above 18.
However, in this case, I refuse to believe that you wouldn’t know that someone was 12 years old

She's a kid ffs If the age of consent is 17 (or 16 in the UK?) why is that? Is it because people under that age are deemed to not be old enough mentally or emotionally (and physically)? yet you think they should be old enough to be punished for some sort of sexual entrapment? If that's the case why have age limits on anything at all?

Oh no, I agree with you on this case, I don’t see how it’s possible for anyone to think a 12 year old looks 19, I was taking about in general

Whether or not she knew what she was doing, if you have intercourse with a person under the age of 16, it is statutory rape whether or not the girl consents. She cannot legally give her consent because she's underage.

She shouldn't be allowed to ruin people's lives because she is only 12

Exactly. If she is also punished it makes the whole statuary rape law redundant really.

How so? He’s still being punished for his actions but she’s catfished him and posed as someone she isn’t to have sex - that’s messed up.

people generally know a persons age in relation to their own friends. I don't believe for a second that a 27 year old man thought she was anything other than too young. He may not have known her specific age, but he would have known something wasn't right. I consider that taking advantage.

I feel a bit sorry for him because she did lie to him but he was stupid to believe a 12 year old looked 19.
It's a tough situation.

It comes down to self control. Sleeping with someone should be a big step, and you should really know a bit about the person, instead of diving in blindfolded.
We're all responsible for our own actions, think your decisions through, be smart and be disciplined. |

And you know, I've got a niece who's 14, she's very mature for her age, but when I spend time with her it's obvious she's only 14. I find it hard to believe this man at 27 didn't smell a rat. |

He sounds like trash just for taking photos of her to send to his friend bragging. ELECTRIC CHAIR.
