You can't live in a society where young girls are sexualised at an early age and then expect them to not to be sexual. Some 13 year olds are extremely provocative and many are already sexually active. Now I am not for one minute saying that she deserved to be abused, not at all. But if you're expecting a 13 year old to be all ankle socks and Barbie dolls, go and stand outside a school disco when it's kicking out and have a look at the children dressed up like streetwalkers.

Good Post.........I agree as a Society we cannot complain too much when young teenage children become sexually active to the point of being "predatory" when they are bombarded by psuedo sexual imagery from all forms of advertising from a very early age. Coupled with the almost criminal ease with which hardcore pornography is assessable is it any wonder we have so many young teenagers with a casual attitude to sex with many different partners and in this case age groups.

However, having said all that the man in question has no right thinking he was a victim in this case. He invited this young schoolgirl into his home and probably encouraged her to perform on him. He was clearly in the wrong and as an earlier poster has said........sex with a minor is still classed as statutory rape and he should have received a jail sentence for his actions.

And to hear the girl classed as predatory by the Judge is unacceptable as the man was over 3 times her age and should have known better.

What sort of message does this case send out to other would be Peadophiles ??
