JK: What's a hebephile?

Actually, my dictionary agrees with yours. But I believe it does not tell the whole story; the children must be prepubescent, though pubescence does not occur at the same time with everyone.

In JS's case it appears to be cut and dried, he sought out the younger girls.

However, if the Case is not carefully thought through, there could be many, long-term, repercussions.

Consider this fairly common scenario.

Outside a 'Stars' Dressing Room are 2 security men in their middle 20s. They are besieged by 20 to 30 Girls, all beautifully turned out and trying to gain access. They know that their Star is a long way from home and been on the road for 3 months, he does not wish to go back to his Hotel Room alone and would like to party before going to bed. Several of the Girls offer bribes, some of which involve intimate physical contact, they are all stunning. How do they chose? Ask for Proof of age - we all know how easy those are to forge.

Later, a select few are admitted to the Star's Suite and the party starts. Later, the Star goes to bed and finds one of the girls already in there, naked as a jaybird. Little does he know that she is not one of the ones vetted by Security, she purloined a Room Service key and got in that way.

20 years later, she decides that it was probably not such a good idea and decides to go to Law.

This case, badly handled, could open the doors for her to successfully suing the, by now mega rich, SuperStar for Statutory Rape.

My experiences: Can I tell you two tales. No I shan't but I'll give you the gist.

The first was my Aunt, one of 8 sisters, who was incensed that she had not got a mention in David Niven's Autobiography. As a holiday guest of one of the Households on Cap Ferrat, she caught his eye and had a fleeting affair with him. I am not sure of her age but it was almost certainly closer to 16 than 18.

The second is of 3 Girls and Trinny Lopez. In the late 60's early 70's it was almost de-rigeur to get a cast of the Star's member, to prove your success. At a rather wild party, two casts were produced. The third was at the Girl's Parents, in the country. All were made in the same 48 hour period, apparently the man was of prodigious proportions and vigour as the casts demonstrated. One of the girls was considerably younger than the others and none of them could possibly have been older than 24 at the time.

These, and other escapades, were fun memories of good times.

However, many would find these antics horrifying.

In addition, I assume the law doesnt mention "paedophilia" at all then, as, if it did, it would need to recognise what it is in the clinical (and only) sense.
