The reason he isn't a child rapist is due to the laws around age of consent in the UK. Had he carried out the exact same acts elsewhere, and the only difference was location, then he'd officially be a child rapist

That's certainly less than 15 miles.

Also, one of his victims has medical paperwork showing that she received rape treatment the morning after he raped her.

Feels a hell of a lot less than 15 miles

His proximity to you or I is 0.2mm

You, maybe, dipshit. I have far less in common with that moronic, conspiritard rapist

i asked chatgpt what is the age of consent in the UK.

chatgpt:

in the united kingdom, the age of consent for sexual relations is 16 years old. it is important to note that there are specific laws regarding sexual activity with individuals under 16, depending on the circumstances.

    I didn't know about the rape treatment

    You would have known about it, had you read the link we are commenting under

    I mean by objective moral standards. I'm not a moral relativist, and so modern morality that doesn't correlate with most of human history means nothing to me. Law is not morality. But apparently to you it is.

    You're arguing the wrong side. You're supposed to argue the other way dipshit. You're saying "law is NOT morality" but you should have said the opposite: "law IS morality, so if what he did was legal in UK then it wasn't immoral"

    That's what you should have said, but instead you argued the opposite, whoops.

    So let's say, a person, John, travels to country A, where they don't have a law against murder.

    And John kills someone while in country A, because it wasn't illegal, so he had no police troubles.

    Now John returns to country B, where murder is illegal.

    Is John immoral? Is John a murderer according to morality, even though not under the law.

    You said "law is not morality", meaning the moral code is separate from the law - so you're saying, yes John is morally wrong, he's morally a killer even though the law of country A says different.

    If the law IS morality, then John is not immoral, because he followed the law
