Grow up!!!!!! saying he is a PED is stupid.

Everyone knows young chicks are hot,

the girls complainig he is a PED are just jealous there not still young and have tight asses for all the guys to stare at.

Culturally youth of women have always been admirded,

I’m 28 and i’d HIT IT (16 and mature looking hot chick) if oppurtunity arose, animal instinct baby.

Oh I forgot to add,Peter Stringfellow dated a 16 year old when he was 56,but because of he’s celebrity status no one cared and other celebrities even older than him have dated 16,17 18 and 19 year olds British and American and who complains,no one,but if an ordinary man does the small minded people in society like some people on here call him a peadophile.

Blessed Blogger you obviously need educating a peadophile wouldn’t touch a 16 year old girl with a barge pole they like pre pubescent children,so stop being so small minded,if a 16 year old girl wants to date an older man that’s her choice,not yours,you may not like it,but you don’t have to.

“I thought he was gorgeous - tall, dark and handsome.” You have to be kidding me. He looks like a DORK. And if he can’t get women his own age, there is something SERIOUSLY wrong with him.

If people don’t think this is wrong, think about: when he was 20, she was a BABY.

Another thing that has not been addressed is that when (not “if”, “when”) something goes seriously wrong, she’s going to blame her parents. E.g. he hits her, “Mum you let him live in our house! *cries*”

There underlying assumption in treating this man as a criminal or creep is that the 16-year old girl can’t possibly know what SHE wants. I can tell you there are people decades older than she is who haven’t the maturity equivalent to their age. I find laws dealing with “minors” to be more or less despicable. They are irrationally discriminatory and certainly irrationally applied when it comes to both the alleged minor and so-called “majorities.”

Whatever the decisions here in this instance, knee-jerk reaction based on age alone is the least preferable. The girl apparently knows what’s between her ears and uses it. She also knows what’s between her legs … and his … and makes use of those as well. I’d be surprised if she doesn’t also know what’s in her own heart. Sounds mature to me. As I said, there are so-called “adults” who can’t handle the same responsibility, and yet, the law is on their side, appropriately or not.

moodindigo is wrong. A 16 year without a doubt does not know what her future holds and has no judgement. and that guy is just a tool.

You know what, Ive been to europe and when girls hit 16, they are grown up! If you talked to a sixteen year old girl, and never knew that she was 16 and never seen her, you really wouldnt have a clue she was 16 by American standards, you would think you were talking to somebody much older. American girls on the other hand, I can see that being wrong because they are naive, sheltered and easily taken advantage of, they live in a fantasy land.

16 is legal in the UK, however that doesn’t mean they needed to let him move in. a man who’s damn near 40 and wants to date my 16-year-old daughter should have his OWN place instead of expecting to crash in my home, eat my food, and screw my kid.

I don’t understand why the man can’t just support her if she moves out with him. They talk about it like their daughter has to automatically disown them if she moves out. (Too lazy to real long-ass article).

But is is kinda creepy, and guaranteed she will dump him in a few months. Guess it’s better to be at “home” for the eventual fallout.

Scary, irresponsible parents. They need to take a long, hard look at themselves, and not at society in general. Society didn’t let a 36-year-old move in with their teenage daughter… THEY did!

The thing that gets me the most is that he actually wants to move in with her. I mean, you see a lot of relationships in the US where teenagers are dating guys in their late 20s or early 30s, but they rarely move in together.

And her parents blaming society? Come on, thats just bad parenting. If your daughter has snuck off several times into pubs, staying out until 1 in the morning, hooked up with three other guys and her parents have no idea? Wow.

I need to take a shower now. No its not strange for an old guy to want to bang a 16 yr old. Its VERY gross for him to move in with her parents and feel like its AOK. I would be so freaked out if I were his ex-wife. The 16 yr old will grow out of it and move on..I hope to something better. That 2 yr old daughter has some challenges coming her way.

Seriously- there are people who are still insane enough to use the love is blind bullshit as an excuse for this??
Sorry love is not blind, love is a creepy immature 36 year old guy who see’s a young hot peice of ass who’s about as emotionally challenging, as well… a 16 year old. And he’s living with her parents!!!
Does this not scream scum of the earth to you??? He should be ashamed and kicked in the nuts for his stupidity!!!
She’s young, her parents dont have good boundries with her, and she’s an idiot and will be regretting this in less than a year. But WTF is his excuse?? He’s just a gross creep.
BTW- are any of you defending him actually women? Or mostly dudes thinking she’s hot?

This is disgusting, not just because of the age difference, but also because he is an ugly man and taking advantage of the fact that this chick does not know any better.

Ephebophile or just someone who just doesn’t want to grow up, that guy is gross.

::shivers:: and so ugly.

He’d be an ephebophile, not a pedophile.

It’s creepy, but it’s not pedophilia. Pedophiles are sexually attracted to children. A 16-year-old girl is physically an adult, jailbait or not. Where I live, an awful lot of 16-year-olds are married and/or parents, but usually not to someone that much older. As for the parents, I can’t judge because I haven’t yet even read the article.

It’s rather silly (and ignorant) to call the guy a pedophile. The evidence indicates he is a ephebophile instead. Look up the terms people.

Julie:

So by that logic sex==family?

i.e. If someone never has sex its fine to mooch of their parents for as long as they like and if they god forbid they have sex they should move out immediately? Why is it also so wrong for a couple to live with their parents if they don’t have sufficient means to support themselves or if they prefer to do so and everybody agrees?

Unfortunately, I think many people are just too focused on “social norms” and have trouble dealing with outliers. Live and let live. Passing unsubstantiated judgments on people is just wrong. Is it legal? Yes? So what’s your problem? Mind your own business. If I’m 90 and a 16 year old likes me and its legal it should be of no ones concern.

I’m 19. My boyfriend and I are 12 years apart and we’ve been together almost a year and a half now. While I think there is a significant difference between each subsequent teenage year in terms of maturity, it’s perfectly possible for a couple with a significant age gap to be compatible and in love. It’s just another obstacle to get over and around and bring the two closer together.

In the same breath, I think she’s showing her immaturity and her inability to see the significance of her decisions by threatening to move out with this guy when she’s 16 and she’s only been dating the guy 4 months. That’s totally irresponsible. And her disrespect for her parents by fucking her 30-odd boyfriend in their house under their roof when she knows how much it hurts them shows her total disregard for others, another typical 16-year-old mind set.

She’s not mature for her age. She has tits. That does not make her an adult or mature enough to make adult decisions.

No matter how the story was editorialized, the fact remains that he is significantly older than her. According to societal norms in most developed countries it is not acceptable for an older man to have a sexual relationship with a very young woman.

In my opinion, the situation is merely a symptom of lack of proper parenting. If a child feels that they are ready for a sexual relationship, then they need to be ready for everything that comes with that. And that means supporting your own family and providing your family with a home. To think that you can make your own family and continue to be supported by parents is ridiculous. I find the decisions made by everyone involved to be extremely disrespectful to everyone.

1. Well if the age of consent is 16, they CAN’T call the cops on him. It’s amazing that folks assume that the “law” is the same everywhere. Even in the USA, the age of consent is different in every state.

2. Technically speaking, he isn’t a pedophile (UK: paedophile, heh heh) if she’s gone through puberty. He’s just way creepy.

3. The parents are daft / boffins / tetched in the head, to invite him into their home to mooch off them. That implicitly sanctions the relationship.

4. Let the little tart move out and have him support her. One or the other will soon be sick of the situation and she’ll come back, with new found respect for truly caring parents. Yeah, she could get herself knocked up, but that’s ALREADY a current risk.
