This is legal isn't it if the victim was 17? What is there to investigate?

Age of consent is 16 but I think both parties need be 18+ for sharing explicit selfies.

Which is a pretty retarded law if you think about it.

As with Philip Scholfield, there is such a disparity in age and power that it becomes very iffy. I'm not sure there's anything illegal going on but it's morally problematic.

The problem with "moral" problems is, who sets the morals? The church has been setting them for years, but they are now regarded as outdated and, to be frank, not a shining example of good "morality".

So there’s an injunction I’m guessing and now it’s the whodunnit.

I didn't know his middle name! Definitely a wrong 'un.

damnYouSun@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 3y

If there's an injunction against publishing the name that means that the story is already out in public, but apparently only the Sun have it? Hummm.

I don't mind paying a licence fee if it goes towards Sir David etc. But you've got to question wages that allow 'tens of thousands' to be splashed (oo-er) in only three years.

And BBC wonder why people complain about them.

There is no-one in the suit - the BBC's best kept secret.
