Link above doesn't work for me.

Here's a link to the BBC article.

One of the charges relates to another girl in 2012: Lodger charged with murder of Lucy McHugh, 13, plus child rape and sex offences

 

[chimpface]

I wonder who the "rape of a child under 13" offence relates to? It can't be Lucy surely as I thought she was 13? Unless this had been going on for a long time obviously and they found evidence.

Do we know if the FB info has been given to police yet ?

I wonder if it's the case that now it's being reported that they were 'in a relationship' means that they've managed to access facebook messages to show that this was the case?
Still can't work out how a 14 year old gets into a relationship with a 25 year old. Wouldn't that age gap creep her out?!

 

[Kitkat28]

It isn’t a “relationship” by any stretch of the imagination. It’s child sexual abuse and exploitation, and it’s disgusting (but hardly surprising) of the DM to use the term.

Absolutely. The UK tabloid press, in particular the S*n and Daily Mail have some horrendous double standards. They'll vilify paedophiles (quite rightly) but then they'll happily post articles about female celebrities under 16 that mainly focus on their looks and how "attractive" they are.

His name can be reported though, surely? Let's hope the order relates only to the other young victim and not the full trial.
