In Tenessee one can have consensual sex at 13 with another teen who is no more than 4 years their senior. 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

A minor was involved. And a victim of sex predators and then grooming, and then sex trafficking. I definitely think 'pedo' is not a 'lazy' description here but a valid one.

I'm disappointed she didn't ask follow-up questions, regarding his 'walk in the park' with Epstein. I wanted her to ask, 'Why did you feel it necessary to discuss the matter in a park? Why not in the safety of his home, if you were so trusting of the man? What did you feel had to be discussed in a park, that couldn't be discussed with Epstein privately in his home?'  And also, 'You say you have no recollection of meeting or raping Guiffre, aged 17, then Roberts, but you say you can remember visiting Pizza Express , as it was a rare event. Are we to infer from that, that raping 17 year olds is not a rare event for you then?'  Also, 'What message does it send to under-age victims of serious sex crimes, when you chose to stay at Epstein's home for four days, after his conviction and subsequent release? You've said you were an Ambassador for the NSPCC full-stop campaign, and knew what to look for! What kind of Ambassador are you?'  Also, 'The time you spent on Epstein's private island, how did you pass the time?'  All in all though, I was glad the interview made him obviously uncomfortable.      Edited November 18, 2019 by Lex Luthor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Yeah, Jerry Lee was kicked out of the UK because of that and all his sold out shows cancelled.Sadly that marriage ended tragically years later,they also lost a child who drowned , I believe.
