Is grooming illegal?
If an adult of 49, 'groomed' a child from the age of 14, but did not have sexual intercourse with her until she was 16, has he commited an offence? Is it illegal?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.What I meant in my previous post is that the "touching" etc could amount to an offence under previous Sexual Offences legislation. Grooming was specifically introduced in the SOA, but any touching - particular on the genitalia or breasts would result in a charge of indecent assault. The poster referred to touching in a previous post. Naked photographs (if of the poster and if under age) would also constitute an offence.
He was a family friend and also someone who I spent alot of time with as he was teaching me my hobby

it is a serious question, i was a girl of 14 when said person of 49 started 'grooming' me, after watching eastenders the other night i realised i should havbe done something, to stop him doing it again...it went on for 3 years before i got the strength to tell anyone about it...he stole my childhood,

sorry, i do only get internet at work, and not at home.
i cant believe my post caused such bickering, all i needed was some genuine advice, which alot of you offered...maybe i should have exaplined my question better, but after writting it out in relationships i was feeling pretty rubbish about dragging up the past. i now know what i have to do, THANK YOU EVERONE WHO HELPED, the others, try and consider other peoples feelings, and how your petty scaubles are so insignifiant in a world of all this wrong doing...

Nicely said Bantingm!!
Everyone: even if this wasnt a genuine post (which it is) its dissappointing to see how many people have had a dig on the subject. What if some other person in a similar situation was reading this? Doesnt exactly encourage people to speak out and ask for advice does it?
Maybe people should be a bit more sensitive in their opinions sometimes.!!
