Well yes, he is guilty. We are arguing the sentence. Would it have been better to put him away for a decade or so in jail?
The kids sexual history wasn't a factor in proving the guy guilt. He pled guilty. The girl's sexual history and maturity was a factor in setencing him because they provided the unique details to his situation.
You guys are awful black and white about stuff. IT must be a comfort to view the world so simply.

This reminds me of the thread about the girl in England that got an abortion. What the hell is a 12 year old doing having sex anyways! Ugh.
Besides, her sexual history is inadmissable in a trial. And I don't give a sh*t if this guy has trouble getting a job or getting into college. He should have thought of that before he screwed around w/ a middle-schooler.
