That doesn't absolve the man of any guilt; he still committed a crime, but surely there's a difference between someone who takes a 13 year old girl to their home and abuses her against her will and someone who takes a 13 year old girl home for her to perform a strip tease and perform a sex act on him? Those sound like two completely different scenarios to me and that's presumably why it received a different type of sentencing. If she's acting older than her age, as is mentioned, then it's different to an immature 13 year old girl.
