The point is that it was consensual sex, but is now classed as rape since she was underage. But the man is denying that he knew she was underage, and the court believes him because she looks so much older.

Statutory rape is an adult having consensual sex with a minor. Both parties agreed to the act but it is still illegal because one is over and the other is under 18.
I've met a couple guys who have been charged with rape and thus are now registered sex offenders because the girl lied about her age during a hook up. That kind of rape is crap in my eyes. A guy's life can be ruined because some little hussy wanted sex with an adult and lied to get it.
Now if a man or woman forces themselves on another person, that's bad. No matter the age or gender.
Hopefully this girl didn't lie to get a meal. Illegal or not this man doesn't deserve to go to prison because she left a foster home without anywhere to go
Got it. I'm glad he got off then. He doesn't deserve a lifetime of struggle if she lied about her age.
This is a tough one. There's no way of knowing now if she lied about her age, if they just never discussed her age, or if she told him and he didn't care and they had sex anyway. There's also no way of knowing if he actually raped her. The article says "when she was 13" so it sounds like she came forward wayyy later. So why should he go to jail if none of the allegations can be proven true?
