And yes, I've paid very close attention ever since the Herald story. Probably a lot closer than I should have.

I don't think the known facts (at this point) support calling Andrew a "pedophile rapist". I don't mean he did nothing wrong, just that this is over the top. If for no other reason, sex with one 17 year old is really not what the word "pedophile" means, so I think it's a little extreme to use it in that way
