These days, "Pedo" just appears to be a lazy term of abuse for anyone having sex with someone in their mid teens - certainly not with a pre-pubescent child.

The age of consent in America is 18.

The girl in question was 16 at the time, but was recruited by Epstein at 15, and Epstein was known to like girls younger than this.

The interview  with Andrew tonight was cringeworthy to say the least ! All he kept saying was “ It didn’t happen !”  Even the photo of him with his arm around the girl was denied. How can he explain that ? 

You bet that he will have had a list of all the questions beforehand, and been advised by an expert what to say. He looked more guilty after the interview than before !

"Pedo" is a slang word "Paedophile" is the term that should be used. 

 

If the allegations are true I'm absolutely disgusted. 

Not just because of the damage it will do to the monarchy but much more importantly because of the long term damage it will have inflicted on the victim.

 In 32 states it's 16, there are only 12 with 18. and that is just states, Federally it is a blanket 16 for the whole country. In Tenessee one can have consensual sex at 13 with another teen who is no more than 4 years their senior.

He comes over as an exceedingly arrogant individual who is prepared to use his privileged position for his own enjoyment and benefit.

On this issue he is tainted by association with an even more odious character who’s company and wealth both he and Fergie were drawn to.

I'm not sure if the legalities of a dalliance with a 17 year old in London stand much scrutiny other than further damage to his tatty reputation.

I am sure that if he is lieing through his teeth as most suspect then there will be future leakages from his security staff or perhaps even Ms Maxwell who is keeping her head down .

Don't think CCTV was that common 18 years ago - and certainly highly unlikely the footage would have been saved that long in the unlikely event it ever existed.

And of course quite famously, Jerry Lee Lewis married his 13 year old cousin. And I seem to recall Priscilla was 14 when Elvis started "dating" her.

I thought Emily Maitlis interview was excellent. She comes from Sheffield originally.
