If people join a public forum they should NOT be expected to be treated differently because of age or gender. It seems to me Sharingan is quite comfortable with jibing and can stand up for herself and all this nannying is slightly embarrassing

orderlimit - that is not to be confused with any notion about 'bwoing out', 'retiring hurt' or anything like that.
I am simply dropping my contribution because it is turning into a slanging match, and that is not good for anyone.
i can be as guilty as anyone of chasing my quarry over a cliff, so i am taking myself off to other threads to avoid any further upset.

So to summarise:
- Some men are charged with paying for sex with a prostitute who turned out to be 16.
- Both parties were of different religions.
- It was in Leicester and was reported in local media.
Oh, and ironically the story is about some older person(s) abusing someone who is teenager, and that has been the sub plot of this thread.

So, the men are charged with paying for sex and facilitating and trafficking, by moving her to meet clients, child prostitution. The girl was over 16 at all material time and was already working as a prostitute. The relevant age for these offences is under 18 years. That she was of the age of consent is not relevant therefore, though she was. The maximum penalty is 14 years though some offences under these provisions on child prostitution can be dealt with by magistrates, thus 6 months maximum
The word paedophile hardly applies to this, does it? We use the word for sex with those under the age of consent or below puberty (really the latter but the word seems to have acquired an extended meaning). But, in any event, it is not on a par, though unpleasant enough, with those cases of the predominantly Muslim gangs we have read so much about. It may well be given rather fuller coverage when the trial ends, but it surely won't get the kind of extensive coverage and commentary, running for many days, that those cases got.
