Here is the news story from the Beeb, down the left hand side are their older aarticles about it.
What do you think? Were they paid? Should they have continued thier relationship after she was convicted? Are you happy for them? Are you angry that they have been able to marry, have their children and now set up home? Have you ever had a relationship with a tutor/ teacher/ lecture? Did you, as a teen date a person old enought to be your parent, or vise versa? What do you think? Tell us

Well, they're both consenting adults, so why the hell not? Sure, it's all a bit twisted and weird, but that's people for you. Ain't nowt queerer than folk.
As to getting paid, would you invite paparazzi to your wedding without a good reason (like a wad of crisp 50 dollar bills)? No, me neither. -------------------- Nearly two years in - about time for a new AV

It may be twisted but they are of legal age and can do whatever they want. I don't condone what she/he did, but if they are still together today after going through all that then maybe it was "love". Who knows.. Actually in the past it was very common for this type of thing to happen. Back in the 1930-50's it was not unusual for an older man to marry a 12-13 year old girl. If a girl was unmarried by the time she was 18 she was considered a spinster. My own parents for example; my mom was 25 when she married my dad who was 50 at the time. He used to babysit her and she always had a crush on him. While it is a little creepy they have been together almost 30 years now. BTW here is a much better artical about this. http://www.crimelibrary.com/criminal_mind/.../1.html?sect=19 -------------------- Proud Cronie since Feb 26, 2003
