which I suppose could just be statutory rape.

The part i was referring to was:

"Judge Hall said in sentencing he faced a moral dilemma as the fact they had sex within 45 minutes of meeting was an absolute crime.

But he said the girl had dressed provocatively and looked as though she was 16."

It looks like the origianl article was updated, and it was indeed statutory rape.
