  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).

Was it? Statutory age varies across the world.

Even if legal, it's creepy as fuck all, but that is still different from statutory

Edit: the article quotes him as saying that's the age in England, implying that's where it occurred. So, creepy as fuck all, but the wrong terminology.
