What About Bratz and Barbie?
Considering Bratz and Barbie teaming up to teach little girls to dress like twenty somethings going out to clubs, it's no fucking wonder a ten year old girl would dress like that. Her role models and society show her how to dress. A girl her age is supposed to imitate her elders and role models as she practices her societal role. We're sacrificing the integrity and just defense of victims of such heinous crimes that not only scar them emotionally, but physically as well, because we don't approve of the way we've allowed them to be educated?
And at ten, she wouldn't even have breasts, so there's no feigning ignorance of her pre-pubescence. Sex with a minor, consensual or not, is a horrible crime for very good reasons. We have laws for very good reasons, and there are no excuses for crossing such clear boundaries at the expense of others.
This is repulsive. That judge is as abhorrent as any child molester.
