Geoff:
Couldn't agree more.

The actual quote from the 'Details' article was:

"Also for the record, he celebrated reaching Britain's age of 
consent, 16, almost three years ago, in the customary manner, 
with an older girlfriend. The age difference "wasn't ridiculous," 
he says. "But it would freak some people out."

The press have interpreted "in the customary manner" with the 
innuendo that this meant sex - which ain't necessarily so.
