I’ll be downvoted, but he was a week away from turning 16 (the age of consent in the UK). A pedophile is someone who’s attracted to prepubescent children. She abused power dynamics, but she’s not a pedophile. If it had been a week later, it’d have been legal.
That seems like a disproportionate sentence (unless aggravating factors were involved such as grooming, intoxication, supplying drugs etc.) If the incident were similar to this one, I disagree that he should be called a pedophile. Plenty of celebrities have dated teenagers. https://m.ranker.com/list/celebrities-who-dated-teenagers/elle-tharp
A pedophile is someone attracted to prepubescent children, not teenagers a week shy of the consent line.
I literally just linked a list of examples where there was no public outcry. No one calls Elvis a pedophile, for instance. All I’m saying is someone who sleeps with a teenager a week shy of their 16th birthday isn’t a pedophile. People in this thread calling the woman here a pedophile are making a mockery of the term.

I think people would say the same if it were a girl a week shy of her 16th birthday. A pedophile is someone who’s attracted to prepubescent children.
Look at all these celebrities who have dated teenagers, some 14-15: https://m.ranker.com/list/celebrities-who-dated-teenagers/elle-tharp
