Reply #34: You guys are totally missing an important point [View All]

Swansea Crown Court heard how the girl was in the care of a local authority when she was taken on a shopping trip to a branch of Tesco on November 24 last year. Chris Clee, prosecuting, said she pretended to go to the lavatory and took her chance to "disappear".

This girl was in foster care, which means she had been removed from her home, most likely, if I can infer the circumstances correctly, because someone in the house was sexually abusing her.

Now frequent sexual activity is known to stimulate the production of estrogen, so her early physical maturity in this case may have been the result of the abuse, and her abuser may also have led her to believe that she was "good for nothing else."

That being said, the guy should have had some common sense and suspected that a young girl who wouldn't give her age was most likely underage.
