You very, very specifically asked whether the 12 year had been raped, implying that if they had not, they were not innocent. You need help.
A twelve year old cannot give consent to sex. Therefore, yes, he or she was raped.
It would probably be .22 caliber. A 10-cylinder revolver of higher caliber would be too cumbersome.
Dont change the subject. YOU dont consider a 12 year old a victim unless they were raped. You have problems, get help.

I’m not saying I agree or not, but I seem to recall years ago (1950s, 1960s, ?) that the age of consent in Arkansas (and more states?) was 11 or 12. Who needs help?
In the eyes of some, until a person’s 18th birthday, he is “innocent” and pure as the driven snow. And if he gets AIDS from engaging in sodomy, it’s because he was forced.
Oh, and apparently there are no laws to punish the over-18 pervert who “raped” him, right? So instead we have to make do with charging the pervert for not warning him about the risk of AIDS from being “raped”.
(And then they say I’M the one who needs help. Go figure.)
No, the fact that the man wasn’t charged with rape signals that the 12-year-old was a willing participant in the sodomy, and judged capable of doing so.
“Innocent”? By no means.
A victim? Certainly. No 12-year-old who decides to engage in sodomy comes up with the idea on his own. He got it from somewhere.
But the minimum age for suffering the consequences of one’s decisions is a lot lower than 12. That’s determined not in a court of law, but in the world governed by the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God.
I wish this kid had chosen differently, just as I wish he’d grown up in a world where this depraved behavior need never even be discussed in public.
Suddenly sex sounds less and less desireable.
