wtf why is he out on bail? The fact that he said i picked her cause she young and won't remember clearly shows he knew what he was doing was wrong. it is not like a 5 year old mimicking what he sees.

13 year olds are still very impressionable.  Normally, one doesn't become fully developed until their early to mid twenties (brain-wise).

Haha! At one time mid twenties was middle aged. Now they're still devloping children.

13 is way to old to be committing rape and not realizing you're doing something terribly wrong.

@Bold: I don't think that's been the case for the past several centuries. 

@Italics: The point is that the reason why he isn't being tried as an adult is because 13 is still a young age.  An age almost anyone would agree is an age where he has not matured yet, and any psychologist would say that his brain hasn't fully developed.  That means that he has a case as a non-adult and his case would be treated with less severity.  

There was never a time where 13 year olds were not "still developing children."
