That's sick, whoever challenged this law should feel utterly ashamed - how can you mistake a 12yo girl for someone older?

The age of the victim doesn't come into it it's whether he/she consented that is the act of rape unless we go into all the technicalities.

Is it not possible to re-define the whole law though?
