Just been checking out a few sites and came across the following story

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3477297/Six-footballers-caged-for-rape.html

Basically 6 men had sex with 2 girls who they believed to be 16. Turns out the girls were only 12. We all know girls can make themselves look a lot older (12 to 16 might be stretching it but still). Do you think prison time for this is fair?

I thought rape was unconsenting and the girls clearly initiated the act along with having a fake age on facebook and dirty texts etc. The mens lifes are ruined forever. One of the girls is clearly no angle with a cry of rape before and not being a virgin when they met.

Just wondering what other people think?
 
Heheh, just looked at the pics of the footballers.

On a serious note, the lot of em should be locked up for stupidity?
 
Hang on I'm around about the same age as the youngest of those footballers and you can tell the difference between a 12 year old and 16 year old quite easily.
 
they should have been jailed and will probably only serve 12 of the 24 months and although i wouldn't use such terminology as sympathy for them, they have been pretty much entrapped. the girl who had intercourse with 5 of them has a lot to answer for. just what is a girl of 12 doing carrying out such acts?! this country really is going to the dogs!
 
If it was 14 or 15 vs 16, I could understand, but I think I'd still want to ask for ID if I had my doubts.

For age 12 though, that's paedophilia because they're pre-13 (hebephilia if aged 13-15 IIRC).
 
Dirty, the lot of em, whether the ruling was harsh or fair? not really bothered, if you act like animals, expect to be treated like animals..
 
the term is statutory rape, which this falls under.

Edit: They should all be jailed. This is the problem with society as it is now, shown by both parties in this senario.

TBH, we need pics of the girls to pass judgement. How do we know that they weren't some slags with implants and lots of makeup?
They could have looked 16 if they wanted to.
Still disgusting
 
The girl who lied about their ages deserves punishment as much if not more than any of the men. If she's happy enough to pretend to be an adult she should be treated as one. She's basically entrapped them.

I'd bet that there are plenty 12 year old girls that do themselves up to such and extent that you really wouldn't doubt that they are at least 16. I have a fair bit of sympathy for the guys. I can quite easily believe that they thought the girls were old enough. It would be absolutely horrible for them when they found out that the girls were lying and were in fact only 12. Very harsh sentence.
 
I think its harsh that a girl has ruined six mens lives and obviously is in no way innocent. At 12 you can decide what you want to do and what not to do.

However you can tell a 12 year old from a 16 year old most times (jailbait.jpg)

I know, but it's a invitation, they know what the image the dress as the sort of attention they will receive (even just mini skirts on a summers day and wolf whistling)
fair enough 12y/o's might not know any different, such as not knowing what playboy bunny is actually instead of the just a pink glittery bunny on their tshirt.
But school girls walking around in short skirts and breasts out that then rung home to dad as soon as a man gives them some sort of attention, they deserve it.

The law says otherwise. And while the girl certainly has issues she is still just a 12 year old.

I would hope that I could tell the difference, not that it matters as I have reached the age where even a 20 year old would be far too young for me :D
