She is single parented and home schooled and both she and the guy wanted this, he still is saying he wants to take her away to Michigan/wait for her to be older, etc.; she was not "raped" if raped strictly means unwilling. Yes, she was taken advantage of and sexually abused, because of her age. However, that does not make it any less the guy's responsibility but no one in the news reports around this whole story sound very bright/mature. There is no indication she lied about her age or did not welcome his coming to visit her; she was at her girlfriend's house specifically so she could contact him. The girlfriend got scared or jealous and turned them in/knew where they were. The girl in the mess is not complaining, the girlfriend ratted on them both.
