Admit Rape? It's Ok, She Wanted You

Caution: you may want to flip after reading this.

A judge in Wales has let a 20 year-old man who raped a 10 year-old off with no jail time because the man was "acutely embarrassed and ashamed" and "his belief that she was over 16." Yeah.

Liam Edgecombe, from Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, was given a conditional discharge by the judge, saying he could see why he thought the girl was 16.

The court heard Edgecombe, who admitted rape, was "visibly traumatised" when he was told the girl's real age.

Mr Justice Roderick Evans, at Swansea Crown Court, said the girl "was looking for a man and got what she wanted".

The judge also brought up that "it was not [the girl's] first sexual experience."

Right, cause only virgins get raped. Sounds familiar, kinda along the lines of South Dakota's Bill "Virgin Mary Exception" Napoli.
