Well, first of all, the girl in question was the victim. She was lured to join the ISIS, but in essence, she was never part of IS, except its sex slave and earlier on a tool for propaganda. For all we know, she could be a victim of ISIS factional in fighting as well. But I guess, we will never found out the truth.
As to the question of absolved from culpability, well, we can not be so absolute to be yes or no. In a court, we have to take in to account each individual circumstances and make a fair call. What if, the girl do have a low IQ because of say cerebral palsy, or have intellectual disability. What if she came from a history of abuse, and this is the way for her to escape - or she thought. Many young girls in Australia were lured into drug use, not because they want to have fun, but alot of times to escape from reality of their suffering and to self medicate.
The highlighted part shows what is wrong with our society today
Too many victims and no responsibility
It's always someone else's fault
