If people are in full control of their actions, then they should face the consequences.
A certain age threshold does not magically change how much you understand your actions.
Being 1 day younger or older you know exactly what you are doing.
In the U.K she would be at the age of criminal responsibility - however she would not understand the full morality and legal implications of certain crimes.
So, she'd be tried in a court but not as an adult and not exactly like a child.
It's complex, but the legal system revolving around juveniles is quite fair - it largely being focused on rehabilitation.

As for the punishment if she was found guilty of the crime in the U.K, it'd most likely be time in a reformation program and supervision until they become of age or something...
Reactions would probably be different if the genders were reversed.
Regardless, anyone who think a ten year old should get some kind of lasting punishment, or be labeled a sex offender, should be smacked in the face.

Nothing lasts forever, as they say.
But at least I can casually play Classic and remember when MMORPGs were good.
This.
It's the truth though, today's generation is shit, complete garbage. People get addicted to smartphones, social media trash, you name it. One of the reasons why I hate equality. Equality is a lie, people will always be smarter, stronger, weaker, younger, whatever. I suppose with today's society you can be a master-rapist and mass murderer at the age of 7.

Doesn't give people the right to treat them differently/worse simply because they are different. Give people equal opportunities and the ones who can commit themselves and have the talent will take the opportunity, those who can't will fall behind; they shouldn't be cast aside and never given another chance.
Article is pretty short on details. I'd be more inclined to think it's more "playing doctor" or whatever until I have more evidence.
It's not misogyny. It's misogyny to think that thinking that a ten year old girl should get the same treatment as a ten year old boy is sexist. Women's rights don't make women superior, but equal.

If anyone read the article... the Black Panther Party (black neo-Nazi party)'s leader said that it was just inappropriate horseplay. I bet you that the 4 year old was white... :\

Is everyone forgetting that sexual assault isn't about pleasure? It could have been out of a want for power or out of anger.

If it was a boy (10) and a girl (4) ... there would be no argument.
Does the boy feel raped or is it just the parents that feel that the boy was raped?
Nearly no information was given in the link so maybe someone else has read/heard something from elsewhere?
