Not that I'm condoning or excusing statuatory rape, but I can see where he'd have an argument here. I mean, honestly, the between 12-16 age range is so iffy with some girls. Maybe he really thought she was older. I can see a 16 year old wanting to get it on with a 14 year old. It's not like he's going to ask her to see her junior high ID.
Of course, most 16 year olds probably wouldn't be doing it in mid day on a soccer field with a bunch of people watching, but maybe that's just my old fashion mentality.
