100% agree.It would be now regardless of the circumstances as children under 16 can't give legal informed consent regardless of if they said yes. I don't know about the law at the time he was 11. It would definitely abusive and immoral if arranged for him as the article seems to suggest. Legally it would depend on the laws at the time or if allegations came to light would they be tried by current laws? I'm not a legal expert as you can tell. Regardless of the legal side, definitely immoral, abusive and wrong.
However, on the flip side while it may explain his behaviour it doesn't excuse it and he certainly had zero remorse for his friendship with Epstein in that Newsnight interview.
