Sex with girl, 10, was consensual, says accused man

A 21-YEAR-old man says he's innocent of alleged sexual offences against a 10-year-old girl because the acts were consensual.

Brodie James Watson appeared in Perth Magistrates Court today accused of sexual acts against the girl in her home.

He has been charged with four counts of sexual penetration of a child under 13, six counts of indecent dealing and one count of possessing an article with intent to injure.

Defence lawyer Andrew Parker asked magistrate Wayne Tarr if Mr Watson could live with a relative if he agreed not to go near the girl or her mother.

But Mr Tarr said Mr Watson's alleged acts were serious and he should remain in custody.
Mr Watson then asked Mr Tarr if his plea could be dealt with right away.
"Can we just sort it out right here and right now ... because ... I am innocent ... it was consensual," Mr Watson said to Mr Tarr.

The magistrate responded: "It can't be consensual if she's a 10 year-old girl."

He remanded Mr Watson in custody for three weeks.

He remanded Mr Watson in custody for three weeks.

So does that mean that they are going to turn that brain damaged asshole loose in 3 weeks?
If it was my kid they wouldn't have to worry about him anymore if they turned him loose so soon.

^ no, he's on remand until his trial, then if he is found guilty he will face further punishment.

"Can we just sort it out right here and right now ... because ... I am innocent ... it was consensual," Mr Watson said to Mr Tarr.

I wonder if he'll plead insanity?

Does he need to plead? I thought that was obvious.
