congrats - will you still have to pay the fine, though?

The judge did NOT say it was not a crime.

[waauw]

Yeah that growth spurt is a bitch.

What is "la"? Is that short for lactations?

Got news for you.... newborns are old enough to drink those.

Also the judge was Scottish

[Symmetry]

Also the judge was Scottish

He's not that good on British politics, even when it's a case in Scotland, and the judge is Scottish, and she's called Lady Scott.

To be fair on him, she was born in Kenya though.

[jonesthecurl]

So it wasn't an English judge, and she didn't say it wasn't a crime. Just saying.

Yes, but given where you are currently located, that isn't saying much.

Everyone needs to go back to the original article.

It was what others would call a "statutory" rape, in that a 12 year old can't give consent even if she wanted to.
The important delta here is ONE YEAR. If she had been 13 consent would be possible.
She made such a convincing case of being four years older (16) that officers looking for underage children thought she was 16. So did other eyewitnesses.

Yes a 19 year old person having sex with a 16 is troubling, and a 12 year old trying to pretend to be 16 to have sex is even more troubling.

Moral of the story: Always ask to see the birth certificate.

Yes, but given where you are currently located, that isn't saying much.

Young people aged 16 or 17 can drink beer, wine or cider with a meal if it is bought by an adult and they are accompanied by an adult. It is illegal for this age group to drink spirits in pubs even with a meal. It is illegal for people under 18 to buy alcohol in a pub, off-licence, shop or elsewhere.

Old enough to drink, old enough to get nailed.

Must be the catholic in you talking.

[mrswdk]

Yeah like waauw says, in Europe people understand that consent is consent no matter the age of the consenter.

Is the difference in age not enough?

While there s a lot of BS in mrswdk's stuff as always, I'm with waauw on that one (like most of the time).
A relationship between a 19yo and a 16yo is troubling, seriously? Are you fucking kidding me?
A 12yo and a 16yo is troubling indeed. You don't know what wou re doing when you're 12; but a 16yo and a 19yo can definitely fall in love and could have a real conection.

[2dimes]

I am inferring that the priest would usually be much older than 19. So if you are finished ruining the joke...

The 12 year old in OP certainly seemed to have a good time being ploughed by the defendant, and that's one of the reasons why the judge let him off.

Can't put a number on love.

Well yes just read the story. I can understand that the guy was left free, but as it s said about 15 times... everything in that story is exceptional. But seriously... what kind of parents let their 12yo go with friends to glasgow on her own to get wasted all night long? Only in scotland!
