Gets sent to prison.
Cliffs:
- 12-year-old poses as 19 on dating app
- Guy takes her to his apartment
- Drinks, a "sexual act", and a pic ensue
- Gets 2.5 years in jail
Judges' logic:
"This is most serious offending as you will now have appreciated. The effects on a child of such a young age of offending of this sort are well known and well documented, and these effects will last for the rest of the child victim's life."
And yet...
"She told him she was 19 years of age rather than her true age and he reasonably believed the victim to be older than she was."
The girl was a known troublemaker:
"Mr Hayhoe added that the mother would sleep downstairs to stop the girl leaving the home but noticed at around 8.30pm that her daughter had left."
Lousy situation all around. Fatherless home. Single mom trying to reign in a crazy daughter. Mentally ill young girl.
I don't doubt he believed the girl to be 18. Some females develop early. Think of the Cash Me Outside chick.
