In 1975 and 1989, the late John Peel admitted to newspaper journalists that he had sex with under-age girls. Therefore, he was admitting that he had committed sexual crimes against children.

On a separate but related matter, an inquiry into the Telford grooming scandal found that authorities thought that under-age girls who were defiled by older men were consenting to it. Obviously, like in other English towns and cities, fear of being accused of racism was a factor in the authorities' failure. Some police officers in Telford thought that the victims were 'prostitutes'.

Regardless of perpetrators' ethnic or religious backgrounds, why would so many people who were aware of these crimes in Britain thought that girls who were sexually abused by some men were 'consenting' to sex with the perpetrators?

Because teenagers don't walk around with their date of birth written across their forehead?

They were white, working class and English. As such, they are the last group anyone has any sympathy for.

Was Elvis cancelled yet. Didn't he marry his 14 year old lover.

Peel admitted that he believed that at least some of the girls he had sex with were under 16.

The petition was started by Jack Owens, a 26-year-old from Manchester, who attended the festival and said he felt uneasy whilst in the tent.

I heard Jesus' mother was a bit on the young side as well, right? Or so we're told.

You really need to be in 1975 to judge , different era , there were little or no entertainers under 25 and the fans were young teens , I’m absolutely not condoning it but it was fairly wide spread a different planet to today , look how john peel could discuss it as if he had a sneaky spliff

all the legendary 70s are paedos by today’s standards

it’s still horrific

There's been a lot of talk about ant-white racism etc, some of it valid, but for me the elephant in the room is where the parents where in all of this. Is British society really so atomised?

Er, no, it hasn't. In fact Professor Alexis Jay, who led the inquiry into the Asian grooming gangs, is now leading the UK's inquiry into Institutional Child Abuse (in relation to which most of the victims and perps were white British).

The Asian grooming gang scandal is not racist garbage. It is true that racists seeks to make political capital out of the issue, but that's a separate point.

As for what we let the Catholic Church get away with, we had the Ryan Commission well before the UK undertook a similar process. I'm glad they've caught up.

Now then, now then. Dear Jim, can you fix it for me to be molested...

Joking aside I watched the recent Saville documentary and was stunned at the end of it. I was sure there must be a third episode where his litany of crimes were laid out with the evidence. There wasn't.

They got married when she was 22, and apparently Elvis refused to have sex with her (when she wanted it) until they got married. So, they were engaged for 8 years before having sex, and she got married as an adult.

There have been just as many abusers who were teachers as were priests so by your own standard of judgment the latter has been "debunked" as anti-clerical garbage.

It's possible they agreed to the sex at the time. It;s still not consent though, because obviously a child that age can't give legal consent; but it's not like he put a gun to the child's head (at least, not literally).

What was the legal situation in the UK at that time?

Re: your use of "legal consent". An underage person may be fully capable of consenting to anything. Or they may not be capable due to their immaturity. That depends on the person. In Irish law, it is generally irrelevant (subject to some exceptions) - it is not that they necessarily cannot consent; but that a claim of consent itself can not be used as a defence to relevant charges.

Not a huge difference in practice

Strange one. Most of the time it's easy to tell when someone is an underage teenager.

Seriously…”defilement”?

Its not like teenagers can’t think for themselves before they make a decision.

“those girls”. Indeed. I get the feeling that Ham Sandwich doesn’t really believe what happened to “those girls” was actually abuse. Or that the poor Asian men weren’t…enticed by the same girls.

Everybody knows that only white catholic priests are paedophiles.

Yes, defilement. It literally means having sex with a child under the age of consent.

Seriously your attitudes towards sex and women/girls should be raising alarm bells. Very creepy stuff that you're trying to downplay this.

16 was the age of consent. I think it was still the same crime at the time, but the penalties weren't as harsh. Public opinion wouldn't have been as outraged at the time as it is now.

There are cases where the parents consented on their kids behalf , definitely with Steven Tyler possibly led zep

Ash.J.Williams · 14-07-2022 11:07PM

Another thing that has completely dated is white musicians who are totally onside with black people and write about their struggles and at that time felt it was ok to use racial terms , Pattie smith and elvis Costello are self cancelling nowadays, some white musicians who were downtrodden were even aligning their struggle with black people which one absolutely cannot do now

Ash.J.Williams · 14-07-2022 11:09PM

Neil hamburger (anti comic legend:)) dropped this lovely one at a mr bungle gig during lock down

Think that was rolling stone Bill Wyman?

15-07-2022 01:15AM

Bill Wyman met Mandy Smith when she was 13, and their relationship started shortly after (I mean... he was 47 - it's very disturbing).

Elvis met Priscilla when she was 14 and he was 24/25. Unclear when their relationship started, but far from ideal either.

riclad · 15-07-2022 01:45AM

I find it strange when there's 21 year old men who have a girlfriend who is age 16, the point is a person under sixteen cannot give legal consent to any kind of sexual relationship

Also are there men going around looking for girls who are 15 and a half just waiting till the girl is 16 before they go out with them

It's very common in showbusiness theres loads of young female fans who are happy to talk to anyone that's famous or a celeb

I think with the rise of twiitter social media me too, its all come out the no of young women who where being preyed upon or being sexually harassed of course life was totally different in the 80s 90s there was very little discussion of these subjects

If you google it There's plenty of actors celebs who met their future wives when they were 16. I'm not saying it's a good thing

Its a cliche on tik Tok and other media white singers dancers using black created songs art dances to get views

Ode to defilement by rod

Stay away from my window

Stay away from my back door, too

Disconnect the telephone line

Relax baby and draw that blind

Kick off your shoes and sit right down

Loosen off that pretty French gown

Let me pour you a good long drink

Ooh baby don't you hesitate 'cause

Tonight's the night

It's gonna be alright

'Cause I love you girl

Ain't nobody gonna stop us now

Come on angel my hearts on fire

Don't deny your man's desire

You'd be a fool to stop this tide

Spread your wings and let me come inside, 'cause

Tonight's the night

It's gonna be alright

'Cause I love you girl

Ain't nobody gonna stop us now

Don't say a word my virgin child

Just let your inhibitions run wild

The secret is about to unfold

Upstairs before the night's too old

Tonight's the night

It's gonna be alright

'Cause I love you girl

Ain't nobody gonna stop us now

Mon Dieu, qu'est-ce qu'il va devenir?

Mon amour viens, putain, embrasse-moi

Oh, je t'adore beaucoup

Ça veut rien donner

Ah oui, c'est pénible, hein?

Oh, je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aime beacoup

Et cette nuit, oh...

Ah, cette nuit, oh...
