But only for the older person?
All the millions of teenagers throwing their knickers at every pop star from Tom Jones and Elvis (including Priscilla) to Robbie Williams and Justin Bieber are undeserving of criticism but if the pop star decides to take them up on their offer, the pop star is being "sleazy"?
That seems kind of lopsided.
Personally, I'd say those teenage girls are being just as "sleazy" as any man they're desperate to shag, which is why I wouldn't rush to judge anybody without all the facts.
Priscilla Presley was just 14 when Elvis Presley first dated her. He was 24 so i guess that makes it 'ok'. A year later she had moved into Graceland full time which her parents agreed to on condition she attended an all girls Catholic school, and Presley paid for her air fare. Later there were girls such as Lori Mattix and Sable Starr who followed rock bands around and to believe they were there only for the music is pure naivety.
