I wonder what would have prompted a 14 year old to describe the rape as gentle? I also am not entirely suprised that a 14 year old helped herself to snacks and other items afterwards.....that is one of the most normal teen traits and perhaps was her only normal comfort.....

The lawyer that inserted the comment and suggested that the sentance be reduced should be on the receiving end of a "gentle" rape... see what he thinks about it.....
