He thinks he slept with a 18yr old, fine yes gross and especially considering hes a cop with 4 children.
The girl reports this incident much later when shes brought into the police station for something else, then she decides to bust him for it.
Now, had she been 16 at the time, he would not even be charged, and again this is IF its credible he truly believed she was of age (even then its kinda stupid of a police officer to be more interested in finding out her age.)
Since this hes lost his job, his marriage, his kids, his career and attempted suicide when he was charged.
The girl had no idea he was a cop, so not sure how the figure of authority plays into this like it does with teachers, bosses, etc..

You're right, the real problem here is the girl.
Let's play another game.
A 39 year old guy rapes a 15 year old girl and nothing ever happens to him, while the girl spends years and years trying to get over the abuse. He might feel bad about his mistake, or he might use his power to do it again, and again, and again. Your situation has happened about 1 for every 1000 times mine has throughout history.
There's a very easy way to stop all this: Stop sleeping with children. Stop sleeping with people that were very recently children. If you can't understand why you shouldn't sleep with teenagers, seek help. If you aren't mature enough to do that, stay away from everyone.
He deserves his punishment. And for every rapist that gets caught and punished, there is another that walked free.
