Are Europeans pedophiles?

265 replies

In Europe the legal age for sex is really low - like 14 in Germany, Portugal, Italy and Austria. In Spain its 13!!!1 This means a 40 year old man can legally have sex with a 14 year old as long as it is consensual (without coercion etc).

Does this mean the Europeans are pedophiles? Does it mean it's legal to be a pedophile in Europe?

"If my 14yo had a 21yo boyfriend, I would be quite surprised and wonder what was wrong with him, because my experience tells me that most 21yos are looking for a bit more in terms of maturity and experience. "

Cory, would you call the police and have him put in prison? I hope so, pedophiles should be executed."

If I lived, as I do, in a country where 14 was under the age of consent, then yes I would report him, as he had clearly committed a crime.

But this has nothing to do with raising the age of consent to 18.

The age of consent needs to maintain a balance between assuring that young people are not exploited and that young people are not criminalised for perfectly normal behaviour.

If my 16yo wants to have sex with her 16yo boyfriend, after having thought through all the issues, then I do not want her getting a criminal record.

(But I would be a little worried if she spent her time space-hopping.)

@"why do you think so many hot teachers in their 30's have sex with their students and go to jail? Because it traumatizes them."

how many - be specific then show us your data

and why are the teachers traumatised?

Hullygully · 07/06/2012 17:36

I saw a film called Hot Teachers on a Trampoline.

Now that was traumatizing.

SchrodingersMew · 07/06/2012 17:36

OP, I see you are a member of the UK Youth Parliament forum, is that what is going on? Are you being abused by a nasty politician and made to bounce on his trampoline.

I always thought it was a truth universally acknowledged that a man in possession of SCIENTIFIC LOINS must be want of a wife who can bake sexytime scones.

Trampoline's the dowry innit.

And it does not matter if the husband is a paedatrician.

So there, OP.

OP has stopped playing. Boohoohoo...

Sunnywithachanceofshowers · 07/06/2012 18:00

Arf at Custy.

TheresaMayHaveaBiscuit · 07/06/2012 18:00

I know, it's very disappointing ... this has been the funniest thread since that one when the OP told us all to stop swearing

HRHOliviaMumsnet · 07/06/2012 18:01

@AdventuresWithVoles

OP has stopped playing. Boohoohoo...

Wonder why.

BorisJohnsonsHair · 07/06/2012 18:02

Maybe we should sentence children to death like you do in the US then OP?
Give me wishy-washy European liberalism any day of the week.

AdventuresWithVoles · 07/06/2012 18:03

I think I know for a fact that if a 21yo had tried to date Custy's 14yo-DC she'd have strung them up by their particulars. Shotgun would have been a preferable fate when she was done with 'em.

You've spoilt our sport, Olivia. Only thing on to liven up a dull rainy vista. DC are only on their 5th video of the day.

God DARN it.

Lol at hot teachers. What a twat.

BabylannShallFall · 07/06/2012 18:29

It all kicks off when I'm eating my dinner. Sit around all day refreshing the same threads about people asking for advice on their bills and ranting about car park spaces... Second something comes alive, I decide to go and cook some bloody pasta.

[tantrum] never eating again.
