Would you let your kids join the youth team?
15 year old is a child, underage, and non adult.Sorry. said:Is a 15yo technically paedophilia? (and if not is the above not libellous?)
Nope. If that's the case then Jonothan King doesn't qualify either.Thora said:I thought paedophilia referred only to under 13s.

Rix is a convicted sex offender on the Sex Offenders Register.

The term paedophilia erotica was coined in 1896 by the Vienna psychiatrist Richard von Krafft-Ebing in his writing Psychopathia Sexualis. He gives the following characteristics:
* the sexual interest is toward children, either prepubescent or at the beginning of puberty
* the sexual interest is the primary one, that is, exclusively or mainly toward children
* the sexual interest remains over time
The APA's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 4th edition, Text Revision has in its "Diagnostic criteria for 302.2 Pedophilia":
* Over a period of at least 6 months, recurrent, intense sexually arousing fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors involving sexual activity with a prepubescent child or children (generally age 13 years or younger).
* The person has acted on these urges, or the sexual urges or fantasies cause marked distress or interpersonal difficulty.
* The person is at least age 16 years and at least 5 years older than the child or children in Criterion A.
Note: Do not include an individual in late adolescence involved in an ongoing sexual relationship with a 12 or 13-year-old.
I thought statutory rape was taking a girl across state lines (in the US) with a younger age of consent for the purpose of sex.Thora said:Under 16s is statutory rape isn't it?

In Scotland, having sex with a child aged under 13 is statutory rape.marty21 said:i think it's having sex with any under 16 girl...
It's a matter of public debate round these parts.Sorry. said:so why the sudden interest in starting a thread?
pilchardman said:In Scotland, having sex with a child aged under 13 is statutory rape.
However, although I had never heard of Rix until yesterday, I understand his conviction was in England.

Scotland. Hence the choice of forum.Sorry. said:where?
Media coverage.Sorry. said:Was just wondering what brought the topic to mind.
I wouldn't know.maximilian ping said:its ridiculous do describe what rix did as anything to do with paeophilia or rape.
pilchardman said:I wouldn't know.
What are the details? He had unlawful sex with a 15 year old. How old is he? 17? 18? 19?
.admitted one charge of having unlawful sexual intercourse with the girl, and one of indecently assaulting her
pilchardman said:41! No, not acceptable. Not in the least.
.
He "met her in a hotel"?
Nope, sorry. He's much worse than a lech.
What?Sorry. said:you can spell it either way, btw.
No, not really. It isn't at all OK for a 41 year old to say "I thought she was 16" (don't know if that is what he though, or if he thought much at all).But would it be any better if she were 16?
pilchardman said:What?
I can't either (and I'm only 22). But that's fairly culturally, historically specific of us - it wasn't always the case...No, not really. It isn't at all OK for a 41 year old to say "I thought she was 16" (don't know if that is what he though, or if he thought much at all).
I'm 40. I can't even begin to imagine chatting up a 16 year old.
No, I was just saying it was too mild a term for that kind of behaviour.Sorry. said:Letch/Lech (I though that's why you italicized it)
I don't require the law to tell me what is right or wrong. Sometimes the law coincides with that which is ethical, but often it doesn't.And if she had been 16, he wouldn't have gone to prison - would that have been wrong?
