A man who admitted raping a 12-year-old girl has escaped jail after the judge said she ‘looks older than 16’.
Maggie Scott QC granted Daniel Cieslak an absolute discharge at the High Court in Glasgow on Friday.
Cieslak, 21, was 19 years old when he met the victim and her friend – who were aged 12 and 13 – while waiting in a taxi queue in Edinburgh after a night out in 2015.
