True Indizio.
She was underage, but surely a charge of rape would only be if it was not concentual.
The age of consent here is 16 - see http://www.lawhandbook.sa.gov.au/ch05s02s10.php
The sex may have been concentual and in that case the charge would be "carnal knowledge", not rape.
That said, plenty of underage kids are sexually active.
She notes on her myspace page that she has piercings - the age for legal piercings and tattoos is 16 in SA. http://www.lawhandbook.sa.gov.au/ch05s02s21.php
So not sure that the age of concent is relevant.
