        @BBCBreaking that's an interesting interpretation of statutory rape by the judge.

        @BBCBreaking @BBCNews that's rape, not sex. Whether it happened or not, she would be incapable of consent at 13 yrs old. Irresponsible

        @jasonearth I didn't make any comment on the case itself. It was the BBC calling it a sex case not a rape case.

        @jasonearth no it wouldn't because rape is non consensual sex and she couldn't consent therefore it was rape. Simple as that.
