Don’t get me wrong, there are times that a person should disobey the laws of the land, but I am not sure I have ever met someone that would say this case would apply –
This story is about a 18 year old man that raped a 13 year old girl. He was not given jail time because he “was not aware that it was illegal for him to have sex with the girl because his education left him ignorant of British law.” Really?? Someone has to be responsible for the crime. Who should it be? Should it be him because he didn’t know? Should it be his parents who didn’t teach him not to rape little girls? Should it be his instructors? If I fail to teach my children right from wrong here in the United States, then I am responsible as well as my child who did the crime. Where is reason in this case? Would it be different if this little girl was your little girl?
