22 y/o Sean Rickard from California, who admitted to having sex with a 12 YEAR OLD girl he met on TINDER after she posed as a 19 y/o was only handed a 16 MONTHS PRISON Sentence in a VERY LENIENT plea deal!!

He plead guilty to unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor three years younger than the perpetrator, even though the victim was actually 9 years his junior

He said the girl posed as 19 y/o which she admitted as well and as part of the agreement, they dropped 3 counts of lewd acts with a minor younger than 14 and one count of distributing porn to a minor with intent to engage in sexual conduct and luring a c hidl with the intent to commit a crime

Officers responded to a charter school where a 12 y/o student was reported to have been sexually assaulted by a man.

She told police she pretended to be 19 and met him last year. Tinder said they are stressing that the dating app is for adults only, 18 or over as they use industry lleading automated and manuel moderation and review tools to prevent minors from using the app

The 2 had exchanged messages for months before she revealed her TRUE AGE to him but that did NOT deter him!! She skipped school on February 25 and was picked up by Rickard who then took her a parking lot where he sexually assaulted her.

It was all thanks to the victim's classmate who saw her friend skipping school and snapped a photo of the 2 and showed it to parents.

After police found out, they posed as the victim and began talking to him and he believed it was still her and sent a video of himself TOUCHING himself.

He agreed to meet her again to have sex and that's when he was busted by police at the parking lot. He admitted that he still had sex with her knowing she was 12.

Do you approve of this verdict?

This feels gross saying, but it depends on what she looks like.

We've all gone to grade school, right? We've seen girls come back to class after a summer break of puberty and put the teacher to shame.

If he could tell, he deserves worse. If not, well, that sucks. How was he supposed to know?

Not fair next if he knew her age and still had sex. I feel awful for the individuals who get lied to about a girl's age and get arrested for it (within reason, so i.e. an 18 year old with a 15 year old).

This is not such case.

Lets say she never told him her age, do you really think that argument could work in this situation? I mean, I can totally see someone being tricked into thinking a 15 or 16 year old is 19, but 12? ...I don't know. There are certainly girls that age that are developed but I don't think big boobs and/or a thick ass would be enough to fool me into thinking a 12 year old is 19.

We don't know if he actually sexually assaulted her though or if the author is just using that term because of her age. Legally it's considered sexual assault because she was only 12, but the law and reality aren't always the same thing.

Considering he only got 16 months and three other counts were dropped, I'm more inclined to believe she consented to the sex and the author is calling it sexual assault based on her age. I could be wrong, but a single article isn't much to go on since you never know if there is a personal bias written in.

Who the FUCK hears the chick is just 12 years old and decides to go for it anyway? I would even say 16-18 wouldn't have been that bad, but she's not even a teenager or in high school yet.. holy shit.

It's weird how some people get a slap on the wrist for clearly doing something wrong while others end up a lot worse off. Like situations where a couple is underage and the dude gets charged with CP for having nudes or sexual assault because age of consent is called into question.

He admitted that he still had sex with her knowing she was 12.

He got off scot free. Initially, the story sounds like he was caught in an uncomfortable situation - but after months of chatting, she told him and he didn't stop messaging her. No matter how young of an adult you are, it's your responsibility as an adult to say no, report unlawful use of a website or app and cut ties with that person. This guy had sex with this girl knowing she was 12 years old, and he planned to have sex with her a second time.

He deserves to be placed on the sex offender registry, and I wouldn't cry for him if he got a good 10 - 15 years in jail on top of that.

*Reads topic title* *Assumes criminal is white before entering* *Isn't shocked in the slightest to find out I was right, as this shit goes on way more than it should* White guys getting a slap on the wrist is a big problem with the US' "justice system", considering a minority would mostly likely face much more severe consequences and have to serve a way longer sentence for the same exact crime.

I didn't say that, nor did he say that either but I'll play your game. Obviously in the eyes of the law, it's statutory rape, yes it's no big deal if you're willing to go to jail for several years and risk getting killed inside for banging kids. The point of concern where whether he forced himself on her without her consent. Given how they were in contact for months and he got off super easy, it doesn't seem like the case.

I just said it's statutory rape. Obviously kids' "consent" is worthless when it comes to agreements or relationships or whatever with adults due to their age where the majority aren't equipped with the same decision making skills the rest of us adults have. That being said, the kid was being willful. Going on Tinder and masquerading as a 19 year old, she knew what she was doing and she probably was enjoying the idea of having an adult guy into her. There are kids in my area who prey on guys like that, so they do exist.

Realize I'm not at all absolving the dude of responsibility here, but this point was brought up to explain the insane leniency. In what circumstance does an adult get off of banging a 12 year old with less than 2 years in prison?
