Gilly, no it isn't. The age of consent in Britain is 16.

Smithy020 - I have some friends who were in a similar situation about 2 years ago. When they first got together he was 30 and she was an 18 year old virgin.

All their friends could see that this was going to end in heart ache for the 18 year old eventually, and although many people tried to warn her, it made no difference.

Two years on they have just split up (he instigated it and she's, of course, heart broken). The thing is that broken hearts do mend, and some people just have to learn the hard way.

If you've made your concerns known to her, so that she's aware of this guy's reputation, then that's the best you can do. Be prepared to support her emotionally should it all go wrong, but at the same time hope that you are proved wrong.
