It used to be legal to have children under 9 working in the pits for 16 hours a day, but... Wibble Send a noteboard - 29/09/2009 01:20:40 AM

The age of consent still varies between countries, it's 14 in Germany I think, and 13 in Spain. But the age of consent is determined by each individual country, and it is something Polanski awas very well aware of.
