It was rape, not sex. Please put that shit in the headline. Also name and shame these bastards! Luke Horner, a police officer, groomed and raped a little girl like the sick fuck that he is!

apparently this is actually a specific legal distinction here. under uk law this is explicitly not considered rape because she was over 13. if she had been 1 year younger he would have been charged with rape, as is he was charged with sexual intercourse with a minor.

so idk, by legal definition, rape is the less accurate headline.

The age of consent under UK law is 13? Well, so noted and thanks for the info, sincerely.

Also sincerely, that's nuts.

The age of consent in the UK is 16. Sex with someone younger than 16 is an offence. If the child is younger than 13 that offence is always rape. If the child is 13-15 it is still an offence, but whether it's rape depends on the circumstances

"When you became a police officer you would have taken an oath to act with integrity and protect the public. You have failed, and undermined the public’s confidence in the police.”

I don't know a single person who has confidence in the police. Too many times have they fucked over the commoners.
