Shades of criminality?

[V8mate]

A contentious one for you this morning.

A 21 year old chasing a 15 year old. (That they are female rather than male, I'd say, is irrelevant)

Do you think that a prosecution with associated terms like 'paedophile' and 'victim' are appropriate in this case? Or, given their respective ages, would words like 'wrong', 'misguided' and 'Police caution' have been a better application of the law?

Nope, lock her up I say. Although the boyfriend was cleared I get the impression that the phrase "Look at the nice present I found for us on the internet," might well have said by her at one stage. Who knows what might have happened then?

Sick.

Do you know what? I read that article through twice before posting and on neither occasion saw the bit about the older woman's boyfriend. Bizarre!

That does change the story quite significantly. I had the older one down as an ugly (and therefore lonely) fool rather than necessarily sexual predator but, as you say, whatever the court 'found', the boyfriend must have had a role.
