A lawyer pleading for leniency for a 14 year old rapist urged that he was 'very immature'.
I recall that when I was at Cambridge someone, I'm not sure whether it was Noel Annan or Richard Braithwaite, used to say "When I say someone is immature, I just mean his testicles have not descended".
In that sense the word can hardly apply to a rapist.
For some reminiscences about Cambridge dons of the late 1950's see this page of my web site.
