At 16 I looked 18-19 easily. I dont think this guy has to have a thing for little girls to find a 15 year old attractive. What he did was VERY wrong, he should not have acted on the impulse, but its not in the same league as child abuse, is it? I know she is somebodys baby, but she always will be. That is, provided he did not force himself on her. If that were the case I would hand you the scissors J_9. In England I am sad to say he would probably get off with a caution if she said it was not forced as she is over 14. It is possible that he has made a mistake, that this was a one off and that he believed she was 16 and she wanted to do this, but I think this really is down to the police and social services to look into. I think she should tell the whole truth because if they think she is lying they could read more into it than really happened, and he should face the consequences for his actions. It worries me though, that at 15 you have been in two situations where something so awful can happen to you. Honey I really think you need to be learning from these things. They were not your fault at all but please try not to let yourself get in such dangerous situations, not just while you are under 16 but ever. As women we are unfortunate that we are so much more likely to fall victim to sexual attacks and they can happen at any time with any man. Putting yourself in a situation where you are alone or as good as with a man you do not know can end up in some scary situations. Please be more careful. Your friends parents should have known better than to let this man in their house and be alone with two young girls. Out of interest, how did your mother respond?
