just keep thinking of what an 11 year old is.
have a think about what movies come with a 12 rating - what our laws deem appropriate for a child to view in fiction in films or video games. i think sexual swearwords make a film inappropriate for a 12 year old - so the word 'fuck' is deemed unsuitable for a child.
think of how they're 5 years short of being allowed to buy cigarettes and an adult who sells them a cig can be prosecuted and lose their license and why that is enshrined in law.
think of how their parents can be prosecuted if they don't make said child go to school even if the child utterly refuses and kicks and bites and runs away when they're trying to make her go to school.
think how they're either in the last year of primary school or just starting at secondary.
then imagine them in a stair well in a block of flats and imagine the kind of men who would want to have sex with them - 2 men, in a stairwell choosing to have sex with a child one after the other whilst filming their actions.
then imagine what kind of man would say that that was understandable because they looked 14 and were willing, the kind of man with the opportunity to give a life sentence to child rapists who decides on 40 months as the sentence.
he needs to be fired and we need a massive shake up in attitudes to the rape of female children. an 11 year old is not a whore or a temptress. she is a child and in this case presumably a very damaged and vulnerable child. all those who defend the rape of older children need to look at this and see that yes there does need to be a cut off point (and the law says it's 16) and once you corrode that line it leads to their being no line at all.
no one NEEDS to have sex with a child. no one has the right to sleep with a child (and sleep with is a generous euphemism in this instance seeing as we are talking about grown men taking turns fucking a child in a stair well in a block of flats). if an 11 year old doesn't know to run like hell from two adult men who want to fuck her in a stair well that's not consent, that is a clear sign that she has already been massively failed and let down by adults and it does not justify her further abuse.
