Thinking of an analogy, is the reason for rape was that she was wearing a short skirt? You can't put the blame on the victim, imo.

There is no excuse for sexual assault. That much is obvious. However, when there is a legal/moral issue in relation to the age of the victim, the circumstances can be an excuse for that factor. A real world example; I’m aware of a chap who was charged with a sexual assault. He was kissing the victim, she was consenting, but when he tried to step things up a gear she said no, and he carried on regardless. The victim was fifteen, but the incident took place after they met in a nightclub. When it came to the trial, it was held that it was reasonable for him to assume that she was of age, given where they met. He was convicted of a sexual assault, rightly so, but he was not convicted of an offence against a minor. That does strike me as sensible.
