In That Case, We'd Let You Off With a Warning?

Iowa City Police arrested a man for allegedly raping an eight-year-old girl in a church bathroom. His defense?

Phillips told police he had done this, but thought the girl was 10 and that the sex was consensual.

Ooooh, I bet his lawyer loves him.

UPDATE: Dweeze read this one more carefully than I did - the guy is 19, and was about 11 at the time of the offense. Okay, so now the "she was 10 and consented" stuff makes sense.
