Maybe the additional information was that the victim disclosed that the relationship started when he was 13, much younger than 16 which was previously thought 🤷‍♀️

Yes, there was an article that said the relationship spanned 13-16, maybe it starting at 13 was the additional information. Age of consent was 18 for gay people then afaik, but a 16yo partner would rightly be viewed differently than a 13yo.

I haven’t seen that article, do you have the link for it?

No article has stated that he was 13. His exact age hasn't been released.

The police have said he was in the age bracket 13-16.

This is how misinformation spreads.

The Mail article someone posted did word it as it him being aged 13-16 during the time period of the alleged offences. I commented on it as it was the first and only article I'd seen that worded it like that.

The story with this info in it said they ‘remained friendly’. But surely Mills wouldn’t even stay in contact if the person concerned had been cooperative with the original investigation?

But as other people have pointed out, people who are groomed may take years to accept that’s what it was and at the time and for years after may have seen it as a normal relationship.
Yeah, I read ‘remained friendly’ as not quite the same as being friends.

We just can’t know exactly how it all transpired I guess. Meanwhile with the limited information available lots of assumptions are being made (about how in contact they were, the exact age of the young person etc).

Have the police given an age bracket? Quoted statements from DM and BBC don’t seem to give an age:

This was in an article in the Daily Mail on 5th April;

He was fired nine days ago after bosses were made aware that the alleged victim of a serious sexual offences probe against Mills in 2017 was under 16. It was confirmed last week that the accusations related to a male who was aged between 13 and 16 at the time of the alleged offences, which are said to have run from 1997 into the 2000s, when Mills was in his 20s.

I guess SM would sue the a off the DM if this was not true? 🤷‍♀️

It’s been mentioned the alleged abuse took place over a span of 3 years and the victim was under the age of 16 so that kinda fits.

Shame on SM if this is true.

When was the age of consent in gay relationships reduced from 21? I feel like it was still 21 in the 90s but am unsure.

IIRC it was reduced to 18 in the late 80s (maybe as part of the same law that is still used for indecent images?) then to 16 in 2000

In 1994 the of consent for gay people fell from 21 to 18 in the Uk.
In 2000 it dropped to 16 (17 in Northern Ireland then to 16 in 2008)

He's lost his job and probably has high outgoings. The DM can print what gets shares and know Scott is in a weak position to do much. If he did lawyer up they could just update the article with a whoopsie.
