He said he lost his virginity (at 13 I thought he said, but I could be misremembering) in a five-way homosexual encounter, and spoke of it in positive terms.  That certainly violates the "third party" angle of the German sex law, leaving aside the fact that it took place AFAIK in Britain where the age of consent is higher. 

Another thing that happened to Milo that he spoke of as a good thing to happen to other people is giving blowjobs to his priest (he was 14 and the priest was 28).  This is certainly a situation with an extremely strong likelihood of exploitation based on the social power a priest has over a boy (in addition to the physical power the average adult has over the average 14 year old, and Milo doesn't look like he was an incredibly large and strong 14 year old). 

(Side note:  I don't know how it is in Europe, but we've had a significant and long-term scandal here in the USA about priests sexually abusing boys, so this in particular may have hit a nerve in terms of public reaction even beyond the rest of it.) 

Yes, he did speak of relationships at these ages in the context of the younger person being "sexually mature", but on the other hand he spoke of kids that age "taking advantage" of teachers twice their age.  I don't think it's reasonable to assert that the child has the advantage in such a relationship and I think his caveats are generally suspect. 

Milo spoke of a personal sexual encounter in positive terms. Crucify him!

Note: the whole world knows the scandal about the child-molesting catholic priests.

Was it a positive sexual encounter, though?  He certainly said so many times in the video, but then in the press conference he said it was abuse.  Then he said that his earlier comments were sarcasm.  In my view that is a complete misrepresentation of what he said in the video.  If that's what was going through his brain in the video I have to ask why anyone would ever listen to the words coming out of his mouth. 

You seem to agree with me in that you don't think he was being sarcastic in the video.  What else would explain your first sentence? 

P.S.  On the subject of the priest sex scandal, I know you know about it, but how much of the problem occurred in your country?
