I wish we could all see this 10 year old to see what she does look like. I totally agree that sexually molesting a child of 10 is wrong but when the prosecution themselves admit that she doesn't look like a child of 10 then it throws a whole new light on this particular case.

That isn't to say that raping anyone is ever acceptable but if someone thinks they are having consensual sex with someone of legal age it must make a difference surely.

My first reaction to this case on hearing that she looked 16 was to say in a very sarcastic voice "Oh so that makes it OK then to rape a 16 year old, does it?" but then when I read further that she had instigated it then I began to change my views and think there was a lot more to this than we are ever likely to be aware of.

I agree 100% that a child of 10 needs protection. This child of 10 has apparently been 'in care' since the age of 4 so somewhere along the lines she has been let down very badly to be so sexually aware and promiscuous at her age. I think that could do with looking into. At 4 she wouldn't have been streetwise and sexually active so where did it all go wrong?
