Her mother died when she was very young. Her father had a series of housekeepers who stayed with his children while he traveled for business. The last one had a son who assaulted and raped the person for over 2 years, until the crime was discovered and the young girl was removed from the hell she was living in. She didn't get pregnant. She was so badly damaged, she had to have a hysterectomy. She has never married. So please don't tell me, ever, that children can handle sex the same way an adult can. They can't. It is traumatic, physically and mentally.

She claims that it's never been proved the child was raped. Any pregnant 10 yr is absolute proof there was a rape.

Is she saying 10-year-old girls can consent? Because the way statutory rape laws work is anyone under a certain age
