There's no indication to say that she told a friend because she was upset or she told a friend because she was bragging. People are saying that the poor girl is reliving her abuse etc... but what if the girl doesn't see it as abuse?

..yeah but I don't think a 13yr old is mature enough to make that decision about what she would be 'willing' to do sexually..she isn't old enough to determine abuse, no more than a 9/10 yr old..adults have to determine that for her because she is a child, only they didn't determine it..the judge ruled differently and that's neglect of that girl's wellbeing in my opinion and that's at best..can paedophiles now claim their victims were willing participants..does that make the crime any less...
