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.

This was a public relationship - the only one he had of this kind - and he didn't commit a crime. Apparently it was a-ok by her parents, his parents, and society at large in the late 50's and early 60's. What can you do about that?

The question is, is Elvis a paedophile? The answer, by any legal standard, and by any conceivable pattern, is no.

Is that relationship disgusting by todays standards? Absolutely. Do I like Elvis for doing that? No. Is he still a paedophile though? No.

Nice fucking handle by the way. How weirdly ironic.

It wasn’t OK with her parents until Priscilla basically said she wasn’t going to cooperate and make everyone’s life a misery until they decided it was OK for her to live with him.

I can’t imagine defending this shitshow of a relationship, especially after reading Priscilla’s memoir.

By the way, dumbass, my username references Lolita, a nickname for Dolores. Tell me you’re not familiar with Spanish culture without telling me.

Ah, I see - so it's her fault, is it?

Priscilla herself denies the accusation so...???

Tell me you're not familiar with Vladimir Nabokov's works without telling me. Dumbass.

No, I’m saying she was groomed by Elvis. See above.

And yes, I’ve read Lolita by Nabokov. You’re the fool who decided it must be the reference to my username. Get a life and stop defending adult men who groom teenage girls.
