    In commenting on the sentence, Judge Down said, “Plus, I felt there was no permanent, severe damage to the victim. She said that, too.”

    I thought the whole concept of “the age of minority” was that 14-year-olds weren’t in a position to understand what could cause “permanent, severe damage” to themselves.
