Yep. The law says that no matter the circumstances, a 12 year old can not consent to sex. Nonconsensual sex is either classified as assualt, rape, or molestation, depending on the circumstances.
I'm not saying "castrate the bastard and keep his nuts in a jar" but I am saying that 10 days is too much a light slap on the wrist. Any 20 year old that would have sex w/ a 12 year old has issues. I'd much rather see court mandated therapy for him.
And it usually is (and should be) hard to admit the victim/plantiff's sexual history in court. It shouldn't matter if the victim was the girl next door or a prostitute, rape is rape and should be prosecuted.
