When I was 14 I knew a couple of 17 year old girls I'd have given my eye teeth to ride, and if my fantasies had come true I bet it wouldn't have done me one bit of harm. I don't know any of the facts of this case, but this guy could have been anything from just over 2 years to just under 4 years older than her ... if he'd just turned 17 and she was almost 15 (and, obviously, the sex was consensual) you still reckon he should be branded a rapist and locked up?
