i read your posts.
lowering the age is not the answer. if you can't see why, what can be done?
the pedos want legal access to kids.
they'll push the boundaries a little here and a .....eh...n.m.
Lowering age of consent does not give Paedos legal access to abuse, that is a myth and unfounded.
Just for the record, we incorrectly use the word
PAEDOPHILE as a generic word to mean anyone who has commited a sex crime against someone under the age of consent. Paedophiles are people who go for pre-pubecent kids, where as a lot of these celebrities being looked at have done things to older teenagers, the term we use for that is
Ephebophilia.
What you have to remember, is that up until the early 70s, 14 year olds left school and home and got jobs, of course this is where a lot of the problems started and what is being investigated.
Even if the age of consent was 13 back then, we would still have all these arrests taking place, as the females invovled obviously did not give consent anyway, which also makes a mockery of the Lawyers comments, in some cases there are females making complaints of historic sex abuse which they experienced as adults.
It is clear there are plenty of laws in place , at least in UK there are, which would protect teenagers from abuse, If I sexually abused a 19 year old, I would still be arrested if she made a complaint, just as a 14 year old would if age of consent was 13.
There are a number of laws which protect young and vunerable still in place as well, so even if an abuser and victim claim they consent, authorities can still step in and remove that person as being "at risk", regardless of age of consent.
Re: Allow sex at 13, says lawyer, and end 'witch-hunt’ of old men
AS I pointed out this, is not a very well thought out statement from an individual, for reasons which should now be obvious if you have really read all my posts through and applied a less of knee jerk reaction and more of a logical analysis of the whole thing. THis are comments of an individual not thinking things through properly, yet everyone treats it as its law and has happened, so put your pitchfork away, calm down and sleep peacfully.
