Yeah but the lad withdrew the allegations I think. That was one of those borderline of age of consent type things. There's a few of those in the current and ever growing sex abuse investigation.
I find those slightly less worrying than the younger and/or unwilling cases.
Like for instance, the late John Peel may have got a 15 year old pregnant whne he was in his late 20s. It's an abuse but it was also an ongoing 'relationship' rather than an unwanted assault.
Wrong, I think. And certainly illegal. And we can argue about whether a 15 year old is competant to give consent, but it's not really in the same league as some of the other cases.
