WELLINGTON. June 16. KAZINFORM - An 11-year-old New Zealand boy was reported Saturday to have fathered a child last year with the 36-year-old mother of a school friend, raising questions on why women cannot be charged with rape.
Counselors working in the area of child sexual abuse said the case highlights a lack of attention to women as potential offenders, according to the New Zealand Herald, which reported the story.
The case has also prompted an examination of the law, which states the crime of rape can only be applied to men.
The boy is now 12.
