Underage sex (As in the first thred) is totally wrong, when there is a 10 year old girl and two adult males, one 24 and the other 34, the later having sex within 45 mins of meeting her. My word he did his homework didnt he made sure that she was of consentual age or just wanted in because his mate told him how gullable she was.
Surely they knew the truth. 
Mistake, I still cant beliveve it.
Happen they should send her out let see how many places would of sold her a lottery ticked/Scratch card or even sold her cigaretts. |
Mistake doesnt require the mistake to be reasonable. I don't know if they'd accept the defence of mistake in this case. I know there is a case i've studied along the same lines but I cant remember what the decision was. It was likely very similar though. If you search for the name of the defendant on the times law pages you may be able to find it out and see the ratio decidendi for the case officially, then u can know the exact reason for the 'slack' decision.
I have revision to do right now but I might have a search later if i remember
