Attitudes towards defilement of girls under 16 years of age in Britain.

I heard Jesus' mother was a bit on the young side as well, right? Or so we're told.

You really need to be in 1975 to judge , different era , there were little or no entertainers under 25 and the fans were young teens , I’m absolutely not condoning it but it was fairly wide spread a different planet to today , look how john peel could discuss it as if he had a sneaky spliff

all the legendary 70s are paedos by today’s standards

it’s still horrific

Er, no, it hasn't. In fact Professor Alexis Jay, who led the inquiry into the Asian grooming gangs, is now leading the UK's inquiry into Institutional Child Abuse (in relation to which most of the victims and perps were white British).

The Asian grooming gang scandal is not racist garbage. It is true that racists seeks to make political capital out of the issue, but that's a separate point.

As for what we let the Catholic Church get away with, we had the Ryan Commission well before the UK undertook a similar process. I'm glad they've caught up.

There have been just as many abusers who were teachers as were priests so by your own standard of judgment the latter has been "debunked" as anti-clerical garbage.

What was the legal situation in the UK at that time?

Re: your use of "legal consent". An underage person may be fully capable of consenting to anything. Or they may not be capable due to their immaturity. That depends on the person. In Irish law, it is generally irrelevant (subject to some exceptions) - it is not that they necessarily cannot consent; but that a claim of consent itself can not be used as a defence to relevant charges.

Not a huge difference in practice

Lol at this - amazing!

There are cases where the parents consented on their kids behalf , definitely with Steven Tyler possibly led zep

Ode to defilement by rod

Stay away from my window

Stay away from my back door, too

Disconnect the telephone line

Relax baby and draw that blind

Kick off your shoes and sit right down

Loosen off that pretty French gown

Let me pour you a good long drink

Ooh baby don't you hesitate 'cause

Tonight's the night

It's gonna be alright

'Cause I love you girl

Ain't nobody gonna stop us now

Come on angel my hearts on fire

Don't deny your man's desire

You'd be a fool to stop this tide

Spread your wings and let me come inside, 'cause

Tonight's the night

It's gonna be alright

'Cause I love you girl

Ain't nobody gonna stop us now

Don't say a word my virgin child

Just let your inhibitions run wild

The secret is about to unfold

Upstairs before the night's too old

Tonight's the night

It's gonna be alright

'Cause I love you girl

Ain't nobody gonna stop us now

Mon Dieu, qu'est-ce qu'il va devenir?

Mon amour viens, putain, embrasse-moi

Oh, je t'adore beaucoup

Ça veut rien donner

Ah oui, c'est pénible, hein?

Oh, je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aime beacoup

Et cette nuit, oh...

Ah, cette nuit, oh...
