And worry!

Giving the benefit of the doubt, it's possible she thought it was wrong, but not illegal, so would be a matter for the Beeb rather than police.

In all seriousness apart from the odd one, I would expect there's nobody in this forum for which the age of consent is relevant anymore.

Except for the parents of course...

Lineker is in the firing line for keeping quiet for the first time ever.

The older the “odd ones” get, the younger the girls they fancy get.

Yes and it's always the same person, with the same depraved comments.

I don't know the law on this, I'm actually incredulous that it's perfectly legal for me to have penetrative sex with a seventeen year old whilst I slap her bum and she calls me daddy, but if I ask her for a tit pic the next day then I'm a criminal.

I suppose I live and learn.

Very old but true saying, "The law is an ass".

A proper modern legal system would have lawmakers define exactly what was and wasn't legal in plain language, and then review that law ever 12 months. Anything that was out of date would be scrapped and replaced. Anything that didn't work as expected ditto.

Instead we have a pile of dross written in arcane language, which rarely gets reviewed, just re-interpreted by ancient judges more concerned by a decision in an Appeal Court from 100 years ago than what is real today. Welcome to English Law.

The best thing to do is increase the legal age to 18, then all is aligned.

I suppose once you paid a few quid for the first one, they've pretty much got you by the gonads if you're a public figure.

Seems like a hell of a lot of money when you can spend a fiver on OnlyFans?

Depends what you’re after, a lot of it is free.

I’ve genuinely never been on it, but I reckon there will be an army of women looking to sue someone in a few years because they displayed their well worn tackle for money on the internet.

21st century women - “I’m scared to go into the toilets in case there is a man in there wearing a frock….but I don’t have time to discuss it because I have to get back home so I can display my gash on the internet for money”

[Mr. Dazzle]

Eloquent as ever

I do wonder at the mentality of paying 35k here. I'm sure its something I'll never understand. If they're "into it" then the pics should be free. If they ain't free why they fuck aren't you running a mile.

@Potter That sort of observation merely highlights the ridiculous premise behind identity politics.

You can certainly make some biological generalisations (even though that is now apparently illegal) but you can’t make sweeping statements until you drill right down to the individual. I’m going to take a flying guess here but the sort of person who is happy going tits out on the internet for money, does not represent the majority of “women”.

The toilet thing is a bit weird but as a bloke (let alone an older bloke) I could seriously not give a flying fuck. Nor do I really care if people want to take their clothes off or put the “wrong” clothes on. My biggest concern is what we are telling our children is “normal”. “Normal” used to have an unambiguous statistical meaning. Part of the “woke” strategy is to change the meaning of words and that must be annoying for all the birthing persons. Funny how it’s always women getting the shitty end of the stick.

The other elephant in the room is blokes pretending to be women and destroying women’s sports. Either you can classify people as women or men and have a distinction for sporting prowess or there is “no difference” and there should be just the one category - for humans.

I seem to recall Sam Fox getting her bangers out at 16, so maybe 16 is legal for baps and 18 for flange?

[DefTrap]

I don't think any parent is encouraging "this is normal" more like "be kind and not so effing judgemental".
If you were an alien reading the News for the first time your biggest take home on the subject would be what angry, hysterical feckers we are.

Like I keep saying, if you want to stop the nonces, your #1 demographic is middle class, older, hetero geezers.
