She should go to a juvenile detention facility, she should get counselling as should her family

A barman who admitted having sex with a 12-year-old girl walked free from court after convincing a judge she had tricked him into believing she was an adult.

Michael Graham, 25, met the girl through a social networking website on which she had posted pictures of herself and described herself as a 19-year-old student and single mother who enjoyed drinking and having sex.

The girl was inundated with offers from men, but only replied to Graham because he was the best looking, Leeds Crown Court was told.

Dodgy! How can a twelve year old girl look old enough? Unless she claimed to have a skin disease why was she wearing so much make up?
