To be absolutely furious and disgusted that a man who raped a 13 year old child when he was 17 has been given community service?!

From the BBC-

A man who raped a 13-year-old schoolgirl in a park when he was 17 has avoided a prison sentence.

Sean Hogg, 21, attacked the girl in Dalkeith Country Park, Midlothian, on various occasions between March and June 2018.

Judge Lord Lake said that if the offence had been committed by an adult over 25, Hogg would have received a jail sentence of four or five years.

Instead he was ordered to do 270 hours of unpaid work.

Court papers stated Hogg, of Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, threatened the girl, seized her by the wrists and forced her to carry out a sex act before raping her.

I'm so baffled by this! Young children are taught that their bodies are private to them. Young children know the very obvious differences between the right and wrong way to treat people.
This situation is beyond ridiculous and potentially sets a very dangerous precedent, where vile people can do as they please and get away with it!
