Don't be rediculas and don't assign positions to me that I do not hold and have not stated. Unless you found information in the story that I have not seen, it has not been determined in this thread that it was, as you say, statutory rape.
Stay on topic. We are trying to ascertain from the information provide - or another source if someone has it - what the circumstances of the rape were and then determine if the light sentence was appropriate. That is after all, the gist of the story, that the judge was "stupid" for handing down such a light sentence.
