Reddit commenters debated whether the offense should be treated as predatory regardless of circumstance, whether it amounts to pedophilia, and how statutory/strict-liability standards apply to the case.
“My point is that this can't be viewed as an act out of desperation or loneliness. What if it was an act of desperation or loneliness? How does that matter, when the victim is a minor?”

There is much more evidence that was not revealed in court.

The correct legal term for what she did is Sexual Assault. There’s no longer a criminal charge called “Rape” under Canadian law, and when there was it wouldn’t have applied to this case. Rape was specifically sexual intercourse (penis penetrating vagina) perpetrated by a boy/man against a girl/woman (other than his wife) without her valid consent.

14 was the age of consent up until 2008, now we're asked to believe this is a big problem. Meanwhile, hundreds of minors start smoking or vaping in Canada each day, and many drunk drivers don't get prosecuted because the courts are tied up with other matters, such as this one. I call this a form of mass hysteria, no sense to it.

No, she isn't a pedophile as 15 is not pre-pubescent. A year later it would have been legal. It also would have been legal if it happened 20+ years ago (age of consent was 14 then). She likely deserves more than the discharge the defense is asking for, but this is definitely not an offense that deserves life imprisonment.
