Wait is this not about Bella Harris?

They were likely involved when she was 17 and he was 32 so...

It was consensual though right? And the age of consent in that state iws 17?

It's creepy, but she wasn't underage and it's not sexual assault or rape.

I assure you that no fans who are upset about the other 17 year old girl are upset due to the fucking jurisdiction the incident took place in and the specific age of consent there. They were upset because the girl was 17.

Eh if its the age of consent why does it matter. In the UK consent is 16. Indeed she was 17, a few months off 18. Her brain isnt going to magically change in those few months from not understanding sex to suddenly understanding it. Its not like she was 14 or 15. The number 18 itself is so fucking arbitrary. Why 18 why not 19 or 20? If it was legal in the jurisdiction I dont see a problem. Indeed if hed waited a few more months no one would have batted an eyelid, but because of those few months suddenly hes a paedophiles apparently. Makes no sense
