She was a victim of a crime. Statutory rape. The fact she may have been complicit does not excuse the crime, nor does it make her any less of a victim. In fact, it makes her more of a victim. She was victimized by a predatory 42 year old sleaze bag, friend of her father. She is also a victim of her own stupidity, which was probably a result of poor parenting.

Far better we should teach her that her actions have no consequences. Speck Tater Jan 2013 #1

you want her prosecuted? holy crap, have you lost your marbles? CreekDog Jan 2013 #7
Of course not. Like I said in my post, her actions should not have consequences. Speck Tater Jan 2013 #15
what consequences? CreekDog Jan 2013 #23
No. She should NOT be punished in any way. Speck Tater Jan 2013 #30
why are you afraid to say what you think should happen to her? CreekDog Jan 2013 #45
I think NOTHING should happen to her. nt Speck Tater Jan 2013 #50
