That point is rather trite, don't you think? I'd feel equally uncomfortable if I was related to Sam after the speed dating task, or Makosi after the pregnancy sham, or Derek pretty much every time he spoke, etc.
Please don't misquote me in your attempts to bolster your opinion. That's not what I said at all, so I suggest you read the post once again. And if you don't think that his age at the time is relevant, then why mention it at the start of your post?

Whoa, calm down. It's a discussion. And what's with the sly dig about bolstering my opinion? I'm wounded! Wounded! I don't need to bolster! I'm expressing an opinion (like you are), there's a difference. I also don't need to read your post again, but maybe you should read mine. My problem was the graphic detail (with his parents probably listening) and that it happened to him at such a young age.
In response to this little statement- "And if you don't think that his age at the time is relevant, then why mention it at the start of your post?"
Who said it wasn't relevant? Maybe I should have gone on to explain, that it wasn't the fact he was sexually active at 16 (which I think was a lie anyway) but the fact that he felt the need to tell millions of viewers that he was sexually active with an "older" stranger at such a young age. Broadcasting the fact that he was surfing the net, met somebody much older than he is, got into a stranger's car and allegedly had oral sex in a skip!! Where anything could have happened.
For the record I have a couple of gay friends who were sexually active around his age and probably did alot worse than Kamal, but they kept it to themselves. Why? Because they didn't want their family or friends to know about their sexual activities. That's my point.
