I got to agree with you, a jury is made up of ordinary people like everyone on accyweb and they all would've had to come to a majority decision that that man wasn't as criminal as your typical child rapist.
It may not be realistic that a ten year old looked 16 but how realistic is it that a ten year old has sexual experience in normal society? Doesnt this just show that anything is possible.
Nobody is saying don't protect her but she has been brought up to act in this disgraceful way and a man is being punished for being manipulated and lied to by her. They're both in the wrong, hence the lenient sentence.
