I think it's laughable that you all seem to think there is a magical age where young women are no longer children. Do you think at 14 it's okay? I have known 14 year olds who are less mature than some 12 year olds. Puberty isn't the issue at all, it's the person's mental maturity that matters IMO.

Technically speaking, a 12 year old is a 12 year old in a 12 year olds body and I don't care how old she may think she is she is still a 12 year old and that is a child. She can think she is a young adult all she wants but she is still a child and as this creep isn't a child, he is a young adult, he needed to respect that. He obviously didn't and now he is going to pay the price. I don't care what type of sexed up kid you were - a 12 year old should not be having sexual relations with anyone in my opinion, not only the consequences psychologically but physically are revolting.
You are right there isn't a line that one can draw in the sand to say something is morally wrong (although I believe that this is) but from a legal standpoint it is a very easy and definitive answer - what he did was illegal regardless as to morality.
