Really cringey when you've got a personal vendetta against someone and try to be obtuse and patronising. You know exactly what he's saying.
Yes it's rape, as in the eyes of the law the girl isn't capable of consent. We all know that. We can't just pretend that she's incapable of conveying consent to the guy. She was in a taxi rank in the middle of the morning. She met a guy and chose to go back to his flat with him. She then chose to have sex with him. It's a shocking state of affairs but unfortunately there's plenty 12 year olds out there shagging other 12 year olds. It just so happens this 12 year old went up the town at the weekend and picked herself a 21 year old.
I'd be more concerned about the the living conditions of the lassie, what's going on at home, why is she sexualised at that age, why is she out at night and staying at a strangers house. There's a lot more questions to ask than whether or not the boy is a nonce.
Barry isn't being subtle with the way he's saying it but he's not saying anything outrageous. Stop pretending he's deplorable just to try make yourself look better.
