Which is actually rubbish. I went to work at fifteen and I was treated as a young adult, not a child and myself and my peers would have been mortified if we had been.
As for girls, while not doubting that 16 -17 year olds can be coerced into a sexual relationship with an older man, there are plenty who know exactly what they are doing and can be quite manipulative and cunning about it.
Back in the day I knew girls who were in relationships with their teachers or other men in their thirties and were often the instigators of the affair and were quite happy with the situation.
As for Andrewgate, who knows the real situation?
