I cant help but think his ignorance and his background are being used as factors in his sentence which in it'self is unjust.
His ignorance was not a factor
Justice Elkaim agreed with the report and said: "I do not accept the offender was unaware of the relevance of the victim's age."
His past history may have been
The court heard Kamara had a difficult childhood after his parents were murdered in violence in his homeland when he was eight.
It also had to do with the fact that the 15 year old actively participated in the whole thing as well
"The telephone contained 67 images of the complainant either naked or in underwear, but all in sexual poses, and also 23 videos of the complainant again showing sexual poses," he told the court.
Now if he did rape her, I'd have said throw him in the darkest place and lose the key, but this is not the case. Even though she was a minor the whole thing was consensual. It's still a criminal offence, but one with a different set of guidelines.
