An emotional mother is calling out the system that let down her daughter after she claims her little girl’s baby-faced rapist was given a light sentence because of his appearance.

    I think the sentence is referring to the rapist, not the victim (in other words it wasn’t some 18 year old who was with his 17 year old girlfriend)

      Ok, so it isn’t victim blaming, it’s excuse making - rape is rape, not, again, “kids who don’t understand about consent”.

      That comment is 100% unnecessary, and however you look at it, all it is is minimizing what rape is.
