For the record, I don't think it's okay for an adult to have sex with a child that young, but a few days' probation isn't enough. Letting him rot in jail for years and years and years is unfair...especially if it was consensual.
Age of consent in Hawaii is 14, I believe. My 13 year old niece has friends her age who are EXTREMELY ACTIVE  -- so it's no surprise that it's easy for 12 year olds to go off ho-in around.

yes- i definately agree with OTW- it is hard to balance here between right and wrong- teenagers these days are starting to drink- have sex- do drugs- etc wayy too early- i thought doing those things at 16 was bad... now its at 10, 11, 12... its crazy- and one has to walk a fine line- yes i think what he did was bad- but the judge made his decision- he obviously did what he beleived was fair.... thats the beauty of the justice system
