I was going to amend my previous post, but I deleted it instead.


I think the truth of this issue is locked up in that statement right there. I believe I heard part of the story was that the victim was not fully conscious for the event; a lack of resistance on her part may have led some observers to believe that a consensual act was going down...and without seeing an ID, it could be very tricky to decide if the vic was a minor or not.

As always, I could be wrong here, but it's the only possible scenario that doesn't scare the hell out of me.
