A 20-year-old man who raped a girl aged 10 has been spared jail in what a judge said was a "wholly exceptional" case.

 

Liam Edgecombe, from Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, was given a conditional discharge by the judge, saying he could see why he thought the girl was 16.

 

The court heard Edgecombe, who admitted rape, was "visibly traumatised" when he was told the girl's real age.

 

Mr Justice Roderick Evans, at Swansea Crown Court, said the girl "was looking for a man and got what she wanted".

 

The girl was in the care of a local authority when she was taken to Haverfordwest on 24 November, 2006.

 

Prosecuting, Chris Clee said the girl pretended to go to the toilet and took her chance to "disappear".

 

The youngster met Edgecombe in the town centre the same night and was invited back to his flat.

 

Mr Clee said Edgecombe, a painter, raised the subject of the girl's age but she asked him: "Does it matter?" and the pair had intercourse twice.

 

The next day police spotted the girl in the centre of the town and she was returned to care workers.

 

She told them what had happened but refused to co-operate with the police inquiry.

 

However, Edgecombe was traced and admitted what had happened.

 

His barrister, Janet Gedrych, said Edgecombe was "visibly traumatised" on being told the girl was only 10.

No justice

 

There is no possibility a 10 year old can look like a 16 year old, That's just a full of shit lame lie by some filthy bastard who has been using his hand for his last 20 years

 

That man needs his arms cut off and his bones all broken why not a throat slit or maybe arms cut off and blinded for life, It's way better than killing him, Make him live his whole life in misery

Wow, a judge that is a real man.

Ahha, the forumtroll is raged.

Well girls these days, even that young I can imagine, she probably dressed up all slutty was going up to guys asking for sex, then got it and complained of rape. Pffft. Though he still should be jailed for a little while :P
