Social Media Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 When Elvis Presley cracked a joke, funny or not, his gang of bodyguards and hangers-on would howl with laughter. A favourite one-liner — a gag he repeated throughout his life — was 'Fourteen will get you 20!' He meant that, if he was found having sex with a 14-year-old girl, he faced 20 years in prison. But that threat didn't stop him having a constant stream of sexual relationships with teenagers, from the early days of his fame in the 1950s right up to his death, aged 42. The impossibility of lasting love, as well as the guilt of having sex with under-age girls, drove him to despair — and, according to the man who knew him best, became so unbearable that he killed himself. Now a three-part Amazon documentary, Elvis's Women, exposes his predatory behaviour. This could be the #MeToo moment that destroys the Elvis legacy.

BritManToo Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Thought it was OK for pop stars to bang teens back then. Modern laws looking back in the past don't really work in this woke world. Jerry Lee Lewis married his 13yo cousin, in most of Europe the age of consent was 13 or 14 ......... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The European countries where the age of consent is 14 include Germany, Italy, Portugal, Hungary, Austria, Serbia, Albania, Bulgaria, Estonia, and Montenegro.

Was Elvis's then girlfriend Priscilla not the daughter of an army officer? Surely that would make sure there was no goings on with a fourteen year old, legal or not.
