Just as a reply to my post eariler in the thread. I totally agree about it looking like a power imbalance between them. It was a point I had overlooked in my origanal post, and I can see the very strong if not refutable argument that he abused his position.
Even so, I can still see that this is still a bit black and white. We really don't know the dynamics of the relationship and is it always the case the the older more successful person has the power? I can't help but come back to what PS has been going though all his life as a person in the Media. It seems like everyone wants him to be the next Saville and I can't see anything like that level of abuse. He fucked up, maybe he used his postition to do that, maybe he's a cunt, but maybe he's just a really confused closeted gay man in a public position having to maintain the lie he's had to create and it's all gone very clearly wrong for him. As far as I can see nonne is saying the guy he had a relationahip with is identifying as a victim... So why are we making him out to be one? I've not heard there was any indicatuon PS was inappropriate to an underage man.
I don't say this to ignore the power thing, I jsut don't know if anyone can truly say it was an abuse of power?
