This is legal isn't it if the victim was 17? What is there to investigate?

As with Philip Scholfield, there is such a disparity in age and power that it becomes very iffy. I'm not sure there's anything illegal going on but it's morally problematic.

The problem with "moral" problems is, who sets the morals? The church has been setting them for years, but they are now regarded as outdated and, to be frank, not a shining example of good "morality".
