Judge Peter Fox QC told Sharon Edwards she had been "seduced" by the teen adding that she had been "a very unhappy lady for a very considerable time" when it happened.

:eek: So being unhappy makes committing a crime (and several times, not just once) less serious now then does it? :(

Imagine the situation reversed - 40-year-old man having sex with a 14-year-old girl - would he would have been treated so leniently? :mad:

It's a ridiculous situation if both parties consented to the situation, irrespective of whether it's the male or female that's older.

Some of the kids nowadays are more predatory than adults. I was bad enough myself with older men 30 years ago. :p:o
