OK, it's statutory rape, but it's not rape. Again, they're not the same thing, they have different definitions.

Rape is an act carried out forcibly or under a threat, or without consent.

This wasn't rape, it was sex with a minor.

You can argue about it until the cows come home, but you're still wrong.

No because I'm not wrong there is an age of consent for a reason.

I'm very shocked at comments in this thread. It is exactly these views that allow predators like Jagger, Gary Glitter et al to behave as they do.

You don’t speak for everyone that lived in the seventies, next you will be saying there was no groupies.

So not going to take your experiences as life in the seventies.

Statutory rape definition: Sex with a minor. Exactly what I said.

Rape definition is different, adults can be raped.

Being willing and happy to have sex at 15 is very different from being forced to have sex at 15.

And a sentence will take the facts into account.

Burglary comes with a very different sentence to burglary with force.

The law was the same but people’s mindsets were different.

Even words that were acceptable then are considered as someone being racist now.

The law calls it statutory rape.

It's rape.

Like I said upthread, I think there are blurred lines in this case. I'd concede that there's an argument to be made for making a term for statutory rape in cases where it wasn't grooming or forced, but it should still be punished.

No it isn't, it's statutory rape. That's two words, rape is one word. And it has a different definition.

So? What point is it you’re actually trying to make here?

I don't get why you're getting so hung up on it though? You said you think its disgusting etc so why spend the whole thread arguing about the semantics? She was underage, it was illegal. This is why people think you are defending it....it feels like you are trying to make it more palatable

I'm not hung up, I'm just replying to posters who are trying to tell me I'm wrong. I'm absolutely cool as a cucumber.

Dia please check the first post

If it was all statutory rape , you would not get people be charged with, sex with some one under the age of consent.

It happens a lot on here, when a member of the opposition sex to the the person in the thread title gives there opinion on the case that is not the same as everyone else, they get grief from others on here claiming they are defending the person responsible for a crime.

Same as if a man gives his opinion on sexism, he must be sexist because he is a man.

Or its because they're arguing about the semantics of peadophilia

Mick Jagger ****ed someone who was under age, it doesn't matter if the girl was willing, she was underage and could not give consent. I'd argue the same if it was a female teacher who'd done the same with a teenage boy.

You can white wash it I’m afraid it’s a crime but it falls into a different category.

Having sex with someone who is under age is wrong but even in the eyes of the law it’s falls into different categories depending on the circumstances of each case.

Its statutory rape. Why are people so adamant it isnt....

[thesheriff443]

You can kill someone and it’s not always classed as murder.

You're comment read that the parents were partly to blame.

I stand by my opinion. They arent. The victim isnt either.

Its 2 different crimes so that's a pretty poor comparison

Because it’s not, people are charged with, having sex with someone under the age of consent or cohersing a minor into having sex.

Both of those are statutory rape.
