Glenn people agree with that. But do you not see it as all very seedy and quite vile, morally anyway?

Historically, look at men in their 50s/60s who go for teen girls, even then they're usually 18 or over, and as a society we tend to think that's creepy, and strange, and damn right pathetic on the guy's part.

It's nothing to do with Schofield's sexuality, any popular celeb, A lister (i know he's not known elsewhere in the world really, but here he's right up there) would receive the same kind of backlash, gay, straight, bi, whatever.

Also, i would be probably be more sympathetic had say Scholfied met this kid in a club or whatever, when he was of legal age, and had a fling with him. But it's the fact met this boy when he was 10, and befriended him as a young teen that's rubbing people the wrong way, do you not see that? He even got the kid a job.

The problem isn't so much that he had sex with a 16 year old, as creepy as that is given his age, it's all the stuff leading up to it that people find disgusting.
