and who drives that attraction to beautiful youth ?..why the media of course.
I;ve heard there was once a newspaper that published naughty topless pics of underage girls but I may be mistaken.
I think one factor here is : huge numbers of 70/80s pop/rock stars would have it off with groupies not knowing their age and undoubtedly broke the law.
But most-like everyone else settles down with one partner, has a family and so on.
Others like Savile remain a bachelor and face the music.( well he didn't)
Odd though that the USA was just the same yet we hear of few cases like the Savile one.
Completely unconnected of course to the fact there is no government compensation for victims.

And you should not break the law - except when all gay sex was illegal and then any gay sex under 21... or do you think gay men should have obeyed the law in the 60s and remained celibate?

And there is sometimes a difference between how people consider themselves when young and how they see their young selves when older - or do you not agree?

there is a difference between groupies and vulnerable troubled girls from care homes tho, eh? If only there was a precedent for presenters and musicians abusing their position of trust with impressionable teens.
