The key to the sentencing was the statement, "She looked 16, that was a matter that was accepted."
The prosecution has stipulated that the girl appeared to look 16, adding that to her provocative dress and behaviour, it's going to be hard for the judge to jail for an extended period.
The perpetrator had already served eight months in prison, so it's actually a one year sentence, possibly two.

I heard James Whale prattling on the radio last night about this, saying there was more to the case than meets the eye, but I fell asleep before understanding it fully.
She is a ten year old child, and as such cannot give consent, therefore it is rape, and should be judged as such, in the severest means possible.
Whichever social/care workers who are responsible for this girl's welfare, in loco parentis, should be shot, or at the very least sacked.
