Who else watched BBC News at 10 just to see who'd be presenting it? (lemmy.one)

It seems like rumours and suspicions have solidified today. So I was genuinely interested to see who was presenting the 10 o'clock news this evening – and how the current BBC-related story was covered.

Isn't it only soliciting a minor when they're under the age of consent (16)? From what I've read on this story, the only crime is the creation of images since they weren't legally an adult at 17. (I could be wrong though!)

Ianal but think it is 18 if any sort of payment is involved..also if taking pictures is involved.

It's a stupid paradox of UK law that you can have sex at 16 but not send a picture until 18

So if they were just in a relationship with no payments and no pictures it would be legal.
