I've got a question about the age of consent there. would she be considered an adult at that age? Here in the "States" some states call the age of consent 15 or 16, but that applies only to a person within 4 years of age. So what's the law there?

Not wanting to open a whole can of worms but how do we know that "she was taken advantage of"? When I was her age (not so long ago) I knew exactly what I was doing with the opposite sex. I dated much older men and flirted with them in person and online. I wasn't taken advantage of .... just saying

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I am relatively local to where this has happened, live about 5 miles from Ibstock, very sad
I am a bit late in posting this (since I was waiting for account activation) but I'm pretty sure SB would have HAD to offer K a lift in some way, since LH didn't drive. Because as far as anyone else was concerned she was somewhere she shouldn't have been, so her only other options would be to walk or catch three buses (I checked the google maps route planner for Ibstock to Measham bus journey) , and even the bus would only have been possible if it was Saturday and not Sunday... but then if she fell into SB's path on the pretence of a lift that doesn't explain where her phone was found.

What about a taxi cab? Was that not an option?
I was under the impression that LH lived with his parents in Coalville and SB had a successful landscape business which allowed him to buy that house in Ibstock.
It would be legal for anybody of any age to have sex with a 16 year old in the UK(unless the older person was in a position of trust , eg a teacher.) However a 16 year old in England wouldn't be able to vote until they were 18, wouldnt be able to drink alcohol till they were 18, wouldn't be able to buy cigarettes till they were 18 and wouldn't be able to do glamour (topless)modelling till they were 18. They used to alllow 16 year olds to do topless modelling and I remember one newspaper doing a countdown to a models' 16th birthday!
Wouldn't rule it out entirely, but a taxi would be quite expensive and she would be unlikely to get enough money from her parents without them wanting to know why she needed it. Or maybe SB offered the lift instead of her having to get a taxi... especially if him and LH were her only way to get the money.
I think it was actually a countdown to Charlotte Church's 16th birthday - counting down to when she was 'legal'. Don't you just love our classy media? No wonder some kids are pressured into loosing their virginity so young![]()
source:wikipediaIn early 1994 when McKenzie was 15, she sent sample glamour photographs to local modelling agencies. She began her modelling career glamour modeling and swimsuit work, intending to progress to topless modelling when she turned 16 later that year.
As McKenzie approached her 16th birthday, The Sunday Sport tabloid newspaper expressed an interest in turning her topless debut into a media event. Throughout June and July 1994, it published provocative pictures of McKenzie, touting her 34GG bra size and counting down the days until it could legally show her topless
Just thinking, maybe she didn't realise there would be no buses on a Sunday and was waiting at a bus stop when SB saw her

Lh and SB both lived at George ave in ibstock. Numbers 5 and 7. Both houses are now boarded up.
Can you please link the news sites that say that? Please provide proof that LH also lived on George Ave.
the charge sheets read out by the police at the press conference.
Thanks! Do you happen to have a link to them?
