Letter or Spirit?

A 13 year old girl is being charged as a sex offender in Utah. The victim? Her 12 year old boyfriend, with whom she had (consensual) sex.

On a related matter, the same 13 year old girl is also being named the victim in the case against her 12 year old boyfriend, who is also being charged as a sex offender.

Apparently they raped each other. This is a perfect example of why the spirit of the law is far more important than the letter.
