I said it was immoral at best and illegal at worst. Meaning in other western countries it would be illegal. The age of consent is another matter really anyway. A relationship between a couple of 17 year olds? Fine. A relationship between a 17 year old and a 32 year old? Not fine. Do you get it?The reason is because @NessieNoo92 thought I liked young boys, so I explained that they were wrong and I married someone 11 years older. Hope you understand where the 11 years came from now.
You also said it was illegal and I said it wasn’t. If you and other people don’t like that - petition.the.government. Moaning about it here isn’t going to change anything, is it?
On the contrary, 17 year olds are very much still children these days, probably more so than they've ever been. A 17 year old has to legally still be in education nowadays. So a 17 year old is effectively still a "school child".We're in the UK, so why is the rest of the world relevant? There's countries where it's even lower. So your comment is completely redundant.
No, I also didn't say it was ok for someone in their 30's to have a relationship, however he was 17, which is LEGAL and also vastly different to someone in their 30's being in a relationship with someone say, 15.
17 year olds are not 'children' these days, stop twisting comments to suit your agenda.
It's not about twisting anything, it's pure fact - this was a woman in her 30's having a relationship with a teenager. Nobody is calling out the various other relationships this woman had whilst in her 30's and 40's with men in their 20's. But a 32 year old with a 17 year old (and not a very worldly one at that) is gross.
Dismissing it as "not illegal" isn't helpful either. Look at the problems with pedophilia in Japan. For a long time, until very very recently in fact, pedophilia was not illegal. Does that mean it's ok? The law there now has the age of consent at 15 I believe. Is that ok? That's a dangerous attitude to have.
People need to be allowed to speak up on issues that concern them, without being shot down with "No, that's ok cos it's not illegal" or "No you mustn't say that, cos poor Caroline Flack is dead and we must only speak of her as if she were an angel from now on". I refuse to do that over someone of such questionable character and abusive behaviour.
