At least the Judge is consistent.
A JUDGE yesterday freed a man who had sex with a girl of 12 - and said it was her fault they ended up in bed.
Child protection groups were furious after Michael Barrett, 20, was handed a two-year conditional discharge for the attack.
MP Dan Norris accused the judge of "playing into the hands of paedophiles". Barrett met the girl in an internet chatroom and later twice had sex with her at her parents' home when he was 18.
But judge Michael Roach said she was a "willing participant" who instigated sex at the house in Greater Manchester last year when she went to his bedroom.
He said trainee croupier Barrett was not "predatory to children" and told him: "There was no sexual coercion. Her family allowed you to stay in their home. I trust you to behave yourself now."
Judge Roach has come under fire before for leniency with sex offenders.
In 2003 he spared Bristol pervert Gary Templar jail after he assaulted a girl of eight.
And he gave a doctor just one year jail despite a 20 year reign of assaults against eight women.
At least the Judge is consistent.
