Age of Consent Laws By Country
Above is you can see what the age of consent is around the world.
What got me thinking about this was Russel Brand, a comedian, came out and said that he had sex with a 16 year old, but that it was not illegal because in England, that is what the age of consent is.
Russell Brand To Megyn Kelly: 'I Did Sleep With A 16-Year-Old When I Was 30'
The troubled comedian admitted to Megyn Kelly that his past sexual relationships involved "exploitation."
Then I got to thinking about Prince Andrew. There is a man whose life is being ruined for having sex with a 17 year old girl, but I guess wherever that may have occurred, that was not the age of consent. I dunno.
It just seems very hypocritical for the world to hold people like Prince Andrew in contempt when they ignore virtually the entire country of England and pretty much the rest of the world where the age of consent seems mostly to be 15 years old, according to the Wiki site.
Does most of the world approve of sex with minors, assuming that age is 15 years old? The lowest age of consent is 11.
It seems to me that throwing fits about the exploits of people like Epstein who did this kind of thing in secret while ignoring entire countries who do it out in the open is a little bizarre.
Then there are people like Elvis, who is still adored and worshipped by the masses, visiting Graceland to pay their respects, even though he had sex with a minor younger than what Prince Andrew did.
WTH is wrong with people?
And I get it, the whole sex trafficking issue is at play here as well, which may be the primary reason they are going after Andrew.
