It's creepy and abusive as fuck so I don't say this out of any great desire to defend him, but that girl is of legal age in the UK, so by our standards he isn't a nonce, legally speaking.

Ya’ll motherfuckers need Romeo and Juliet laws. Age of consent at 14-16 isn’t a horrid idea, but slap a “within 5 years of the age of the oldest companion” and you fix Richard Brand grooming a fucking child.

He's not technically a child rapist and he can go someplace that's not technically under the jail
