Apparently a judge somewhere in the southern States reduced the sentence of a rapist on the grounds that he was provoked by the seductive behaviour of the victim. Well, we've heard this type of tale before. But the twist was that the victim was only FIVE YEARS OLD! Seductive behaviour? Five year old? It makes me sick to my stomach.
