Others said the boy's parents should be held to account for not
supervising his access to online pornography.
The decision not to imprison the boy came as the judge admitted
he would have got six and a half years if he had been 18. Instead
he was handed a three-year community order.
The youngster was paid £10 to babysit at the girl's home.
He admitted the rape after his victim told her horrified father.
Julia Flanagan, defending, told Cambridge Crown Court: "He was
watching excessive pornography, which was very inappropriate
for his age. We have a very frightened and remorseful boy who is
very ashamed. This was an isolated incident. There was no threat
or force used."
The boy, who is now 15 told police he had "lost his mind".
He added: "I think my hormones took over."
The judge said: "I'm satisfied it was impulsive."
He imposed a five-year sexual offences prevention order - barring
the boy from using computers or mobile devices to view porn.
