That's a good argument InOne,really a 15 year old girl shouldn't be at a club anyway, I think a lot of things should come up in that scenario before charge.

Deeper investigation as was it really a rape or something that went wrong,as you say if he is told by her she is older,then he is not at fault for having sex with her,more interviews and better investigative procedures hopefully could bring more light on such a charge.

Why was she in a club at all, why did she go anywhere with him, did her parents know she was at a club,was she in contact with her parents or family,she must have said she was older to be in the club,so why the deceit.
That sort of reasoning could and should cast doubts on whether this is a legitimate rape case or not.

Maybe,if a much stronger penalty was in place for falsely accusing someone of rape,people may be less likely to cry rape when it wasn't so.

I agree, that's an awful situation for the hypothetical guy you mention to be in and scarred for life and equally that is why rape investigations, charges etc need to be even more investgative than they are now.
I also don't agree with a guys name plastered al over the media before his trial or conviction either, while the accuser remains anonymous,often even after the not guilty verdict is made.
Both should not be named until after the trial.If the guy was guilty he is named, if he's found not guilty they both are.To show he was falsely accused and she was as low as you can go.
