Yet Judge Hall said the case was exceptional because the "young woman" had been wearing a frilly bra and thong.
The court heard that the girl regularly wore make-up, strappy tops and jeans.
"It is quite clear she is a very disturbed child and a very needy child and she is a sexually precocious child. She liked to dress provocatively," the judge said.
"Did she look like she was 10? Certainly not. She looked 16."
I agree this is an outrage.'There is no way in hell this can be called "sex".
Pardon my strong words, but they sure fit.
There's no word strong enough (to my knowledge) to describe the atrocity of a pedophilic act
This man's behavior was criminal, and he should have received a far more severe punishment.
I was, however, struck by this:
I don't think it amounts to blaming the victim to suggest that this kind of behavior was outrageously inappropriate. It's a shame nobody pulled this child aside and tried to discipline her.
It appears she was a ward of the state...wasn't there someone to look after her?
Would this be a tank top? a string bikini top? or what?The court heard that the girl regularly wore make-up, strappy tops and jeans.
The crime was already being commited before he knew what underwear she was wearing.Yet Judge Hall said the case was exceptional because the "young woman" had been wearing a frilly bra and thong.

How incredibly stupid. So she looked 16. 16 is still underage, so there goes any possible excuse for him not knowing.
The judge should be charged for capital stupidity.
Again, it cannot be called sex.If she looked 60, so what. She was forced to have sex, RAPED! The judge is an idiot and sahould lose his postion.
What is the age of consent in England? Dont you think the judge should know? Here in the US its 16 in most states. [Click Here] It use to be 13 at one point in AR.How incredibly stupid. So she looked 16. 16 is still underage, so there goes any possible excuse for him not knowing.

And what does it matter that she wore:
The crime was already being commited before he knew what underwear she was wearing.
As far as her clothes, except for the make up, I don't see this girl(from the description) that it is any worse then any other typical girls clothes.
BUt adults are suppose to know better.
I can't tell if this was a violent rape, or a statutory rape. His sentence should be longer, either way.
No, ofcourse notA ten year old girl was outside in a frilly bra and thong and you don't think this is any worse than "a typical girl's clothes? No "typical" 10 year old child should be walking around in a frilly bra and thong.
