She's a disgusting pedo and will always be. Whether she was let off or not, whether she knew the boy was 14 or 16, she's still a kid diddler.

If the boy lied about his age and both gave consent to sex then it's not her fault. The same goes for women. If a 15 yo girl comes into a club and lies about being an adult it's only her fault if someone had sex with her.

Cleared. But still complaining nevertheless. And what does the fact she's a "mum of three" has to do with anything? At her age btw, and with 3 kids no less, shouldn't she know better, be a little bit more responsible and able to control herself?

'After what she had been through and what people had said, I just wanted to show that she was innocent. The best way was to post a photo of her.'

Of course. That makes sense when you're "afraid" of what others will think about you...

Christopher Smyth, prosecuting, told the jury that 'during the hearing many issues were raised about the victim's Facebook profile which needed investigating.'

So basically the prosecutor was her defender? Nice.

He showed a screen shot image giving the alleged victim's profile and his date of birth as 2000 - making him appear much older than his chronological age.

Let's try that with a 30 years old HE in the box and a 14 years old SHE as a victim. For science...

"I did not break any law': Mother, 32, who was cleared of having sex with boy, 14, after claiming she thought he was over 16 says people will 'always see me as a sex offender"

And she was found not guilty of doing something... that she admitted to doing...

"Lost two years of her life waiting for a trial"

If this was a guy, that'd be two decades, waiting in a prison cell

It is not justice if any man in the UK ever got convicted of statutory rape (or whatever they might call the analogous offense in the UK) while claiming to be unaware that the female he screwed was only 14 instead of 16.

I believe the age of consent in the UK is 16, and I don't know what it looks like for men in the UK trying to use the "I thought she was legal!" defense in statutory rape cases, but I'm guessing it works about as well as it does in the US.

We can pick apart the details of the case as they were given in the article, but the bottom line is that if you are from the US, you know that the "I didn't know" defense is absolutely NOT EVER effective when a man is charged with statutory rape, I can't say if it's ever been effective for a woman charged with statutory rape in the US.

It's so bad in the US with statutory rape that if you're in a bar that does not allow people in unless they're 21, and see a woman there, buying drinks, maybe she even buys you a drink... and you either accept her invite to go home with her, or she accepts yours, and you sleep with her, and it turns out she's underage, you're not even close to off the hook. You're going up the river.

I know personally of a case where the exact thing I posted above happened. The guy was going to drop the girl off at her home, but she asked him to take a detour and go to a "parking" place, where she proceeded to polish his knob for him. The cops pulled up, KNEW THE GIRL BY NAME because she'd been busted doing this enough times before, and arrested the guy, who was convicted of statutory rape.

When I used to photograph models, I’d verify and copy their ID for the model release. If a bar serves someone underage, they wouldn’t get off simply by saying the customer said they were of age, the customer would have had to produce a realistic game ID.

This woman shouldn’t even be going after a 16 year old and there’s no excuse in my opinion for not checking the ID of a 14-year old. What Facebook indicates is not an ID check.

Given the boy did lie about his age, I can see why a court might not find guilt. She says she’s worried about being perceived as a child molester. She should be. She had sex with a 14 year old, making no real effort to verify his age. Such an act should impact people’s perception of her.

The unfair part is the fact that men won't be treated the same.

Imo It is fair that she was found not guilty. The boy lied, to her knowing this was legal.
