While I usually roll my eyes when I hear "racism", in this case it may be valid. When I was 15 many girls my age were involved w/ older guys (18-21). Some were sexually active, others not. I wasn't, but if I had been, no doubt it would have been consensual (if a bit uninformed and hormonally driven!).
I read the link you posted. I am rather disturbed on two counts:
1) What on earth was this 15 year old girl doing working as an assistant janitor at a school??
2) Not to be graphic, but of course there is bruising and tearing during intercourse, especially if it's your first time. That doesn't necessarily prove that it was forced.
I think also sociological/cultural aspects come into play. As a Southerner I've witnessed the prejudice experienced by interracial couples. When I was a child I heard ugly comments from my older relatives when they'd see a black man w/ a white woman. I thank God I didn't grow up believing what they said. I think that perhaps the girl got nervous that her reputation would be damaged if word got out she'd had sex w/ a black man (who apparently had a lot going for him). I suppose we'll never know what exactly happened. It's sad all the way around.
