ok, like i said, if you think its ok for adults in their mid to late 20s to fuck 16 year olds simply because its legal, again, thats on you. Id say most people would argue thats fucked up, wrong, and at 16 you are in an extremely vulnerable position. Doesnt matter if the law says its ok, its still morally reprehensible to most folk. And in some countries, that would be straight up rape.
Just because the UK laws says its not punishable by law, doesn't make what he did any less reprehensible (by his own admission).
How would you feel if that was your daughter, for example?
