Still quite curious as to why @do_ron_ron or @IronWarrior want this person punished? I'm not sure either has explained why other than pointing out that he's guilty.

You mean, the irony from everyone else?
Because it seems it's okay by everyone to **** underage girls who lie about their age and who may look older and get away with it.
Maybe that's a Scottish thing, but let's remember, he's the victim and not the 12 year old girl.
Just liberal things I guess.
wtf
ironwarrior collector of paedophilia related statues and pillow cases and god knows what else speaking up about this case. Just, seriously you couldn't make this up.
Have to agree.
Personally i never have sex with someone without taking copies of her Photo ID, and two proofs of address. If they fail a credit check i still need a guarantor as well.
before I have sex with a woman I cut her in half and count the rings just to be safe

That would be the tip of this iceberg.
Agreed good luck going to the US on holiday with that charge.
Poor guy but I also feel sorry for the girl how messed up to be having sex at 12

I doubt this is her first time of having sex.
Good to see the Judge has some sense not to ruin this blokes life any more than the media will have done now.

It's one of those rather odd cases where according to the letter of the law he should have been sent to prison but the Judge has used a bit common sense instead. 12 YO girl out drinking vodka 12 at night and sleeping with strangers, feel sorry for the girl she needs help.

Probably been said before but ... Where the hell are the parents? This whole thing is entirely their fault.
He didn't know she was 12.

Didn't witnesses like the cab driver think her 20 though?
I know ignorance does not protect you from the law but its a tough situation.
The media has destroyed his life in many ways already. All it takes is a google of the name during a hiring process and boom - no job. I believe he also has to make it known during appropriate applications.
Oh I see. Sorry but I just jumped in to the thread without reading up on it first. Still, how old can a 12 year old look? Maybe I'm naïve but I doubt I'd be fooled by 12 year old girl trying to pass herself off as an adult.
That would be a good point if he'd known she was 12. It would be a fair point if there was any reasonable way he might have had any doubts about her age. But neither of those things are true - all the available evidence indicated that the youngest she could be was 17. Everyone else thought she was at least 18 - the door staff, the bar staff, the police on the beat who'd spoken with her earlier, the taxi driver - everyone. She told him she was 17. The judge thought it was reasonable to think she was at least 18 and that was with the judge knowing she was actually 12.
So what you're advocating is that he be jailed for not having sufficient psychic powers to magically know that all the available evidence was wrong.
