Nor as grim as the fall of Fortunato in The Cask of Amontillado.

To say nothing of The Fall Of The Foot Clan

although, everyone always knew about Walliams and his liking for young girls

He's next to go down.

Meanwhile the first lady of France, Brigitte Macron, met Emmanuel Macron when he was 15, she was 39 and his teacher.

Different cultures and different views on what is pedophilia/what isn't I guess

Macron is married to Brigitte Trogneux.[375] She is his former La Providence High School teacher and is close to 25 years his senior.[376][377][378] They met during a theatre workshop that she was giving when she was a 39-year-old teacher and he was a 15-year-old student and classmate of her daughter.[379][380][381] A romantic relationship started later, and his parents attempted to separate the couple by sending him away to Paris to finish the final year of his schooling, as they felt his youth made this relationship inappropriate.[16][381] (The age of consent in France is 15.) The couple reunited after Macron graduated and were married in 2007.

I watched the 'expose' on him a minute ago
(it was also a similar 'expose' that got the wheels turning for the Russell brand thing, so we'll see if people 'come forward' now like that did with Brand)

Won't know anything until IF other girls come forward and with more serious allegations, but from the program it seems that other than some potential 'grooming' (messaging underage gilrs, so under 16) the program mostly concentrate, and make a big deal about him trying too (and sometimes succeeding) in sleeping with lots of young, legal women

But I found myself thinking 'That's not a crime? That's just the way of the world!! Everyone knows that 'fame' is powerful and that men with fame will basically ALL 'exploit' that fame to get laid! I imagine there's probably not a 'famous' person out there who didn't do that lol. It's a bit like being angry at a good looking man for 'expoiting' his good looks to sleep with women?!

We'll see what happens, though. If it follows the same Brand pattern after his TV expose, other girls will now come forward, and depending on the claims, a police investigation will begin

My only 'suggestion' at this point, in terms of UK law, is to work out a way of classifying 'celebrity' under the same rules we have for other 'positions of authority' such as police officers and teachers and social workers, whereby the age of consent becomes 18 instead of 16.

A 'pedo' has always basically mean someone who goes after VERY young/pre pubescent girls to me. Think 9 year olds or whatever
It always annoys me when everyone says 'pedo!!' under like a facebook post of an older man trying to flirt with a 19 year old or whatever lol. Here he would likely be called a 'pedo' for banging a 16 year old, BUT it's legal! If I could be bothered, i'd ask them people 'so by your logic, the UK law allows pedophillia?'. lol

There's young British men in their 20's being physically attacked by small gangs of young Gen Z males for having 16-20yo girlfriends.

These Gen Z males have been brainwashed to believe teenagers are "children", even 20-21yo women. Age of consent is 16 here in UK.

They have become rabid violent animals. Its a lost cause.

Also... stuff like this below is rife and everyday reading on our Newspapers. Can't even take you're own daughter out alone as a man without paranoid pricks. Make sure her mum is with you at all times, guys. JFL.

After hearing a bit more of this, it sounds like he was convicted basically in a "his word against hers" situation that goes back 17 years, with some accompanying testimony about pattern of behavior. Sounds like she was willingly involved in sexual relationship, but that he took it further than she wanted (some backdoor stuff). It also sounds like the press sat on the story until he started to turn more right wing on his podcasts. Another assault supposedly alleges that he touched a girl's boob in a bar. I guess the Me Too era isn't over, at least not in Britain.

Mind you, if he penetrated her backside against her will, I certainly don't condone it, but it's still his word against hers. Why does her word carry more weight? And why did it take so long for charges?
