paul65 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I was 15 in 1980 and i remember it well, i all so remember a lot of girls my age then going out with boys / men who were about 18 or 20 does that mean they are now accountable for that. Chris I was 15 in 1980 as well and I remember the same thing. Those blokes could still be nicked if one of the girls decides she regrets it and makes a complaint.

gemini52 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 An extremely serious crime, if he is found guilty i hope he gets the maximum the courts can give. The lady who suffered this terrible rape must be now somewhere around 59 years old. It happened a very long time ago and i don't realy see how they can prosecute as there can't be that much evidence, his word against hers. At least the more of these people outed the better. It should at least finish his tv career which in my opinion is long over due. As again another accused person found guity with out the benifit of a trial by jury,it just beggers belief the attitude of some of the posts on here.

Gordon R Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 That is the problem - careers finished - trial by television news - public arrest, with the press well informed - "wise" members of forums finding all guilty without a shred of proof. If they are innocent - their career will be in tatters. Makes you proud to be British - NOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldivalloch Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) 16 year old lad and his 15 years and 11 months girlfriend get carried away and have sex. She cannot consent to sex as she is a minor so he is guilty of rape. So you are saying this is equally terrible as forced rape on an unwilling female. I don't think so. He's not. He's guilty of having sex with someone under the legal age. If the sex was consensual it's doubtful whether he would be prosecuted, given his age (16). It would be viewed differently if he were significantly older. For it to be defined as rape it would have to have been against her will. For it to be statutory rape she would have had to have been twelve years of age or under. Edited May 1, 2013 by aldivalloch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanj Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) Pretty frigging harsh words you've used there. Perhaps the person in question was afraid to come forward. Either way, you seem to just brush this off as if it's nothing. Its not nothing but it is pointless............ to date theres not been a single prosecution and I doubt there will be. What it is is a waste of time and public funds. No prosecution should (in all cases) = a charge of wasting police time and a fine at least. As has been said, take the possibility of a claim away and these claims would dry up sharpish. Lets be honest if you were treated so harshly you'd hardly be likely to keep your mouth shut for 46 years now would you (any mental inadequacy aside) Edited May 1, 2013 by spanj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the last person to plead for leniency for rapists but the guy is only alleged to have committed the crime at this point. Seems wrong that he is barred from continuing to work (albeit in a dreadful role in a dreadful programme) without having yet been tried?

Vince Green Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) No-one knows what happened between Elvis and Priscilla when she was underage except Priscilla. Priscilla's parents didn't kick up a stink. She didn't run off, her parents allowed her to go. Marriage at 14 is quite common in the southern states of America. In 1957 Jerry Lee Lewis married his 13 year old cousin and a year or so later brought her on tour with him to London which caused all sorts of legal difficulties. However, in the end the authorities turned a blind eye. But what of the foreign immigrants who come to Britain with their underage wives today? Nobody does anything about that. Its just put down as "their culture" and quietly ignored. So really there are double standards at play if somebody is getting charged with rape for having it off with what was probably a 15 year old groupie/fan who approached him rather than the other way round. We most of us can remember a few 15 year old girls years ago who had been round half the village before their 16th birthday.
