Why do all the media keep referring to her as a "child" - yes she was 15 but they're wording it like he's nonced an 8 year old

[Winston Smith]

Because 15 is a child

Probably not guilty and will fancy their chances of over turning it IMO

[Winston Smith]

Something about police mugshots that make people look guilty of all sorts

I have always assumed 'teenager' is more of a description than a legal definition and that legally you are a child until the day you turn 18. Might be wrong though.

She was only a few weeks past her 15th birthday as well wasn't she?

Legally she's a child, and morally too when being compared to 27 year old or whatever he is.

I'm not saying what he did was right, btw - just that at 14/15 she knew what she was doing....yet the papers are making out that he's groomed some innocent "child" that knows nothing about sex etc
