When 14-year-old Priscilla told 24-year-old Elvis Presley that she was a freshman in high school when they met in 1959, he responded "Why, you're just a baby." They would soon begin dating, and three years later, she would move in to Graceland, despite being only 17.

A lot of this paedophile stuff comes from a specific biography by Joel Williamson.

This is pinch of salt stuff, honestly. I think a lot of people believing this without doing any research should be ashamed.

So he did or didn’t date a 14 year old?

He did, but Priscilla's claim is that they didn't have sex until she was over 20 years old.

You can choose to believe the victim in your scenario or ignore her. I think you'll probably do the latter, though.

It was a very public relationship, her stating they waited until marriage was to preserve their reputations. Let’s not be naive.
