Paolo was a rapist


Seriously, he looked like he was in his 20's and Lizzie was supposed to not even be in high school yet, which puts her at about 14. A little creepy, eh?

reply

Haha, Paolo was supposed to be 17. Lizzie mentioned it.

Still, 14 and 17, that creeper

Then they are about the same in maturity, doesn't seem creepy at all.

Both have a 11 year-old mind...

It wouldn't make him a rapist. If he was 18 he would be a pedofile. He would be a rpist if he forced Lizzie to have sex against her will.

"If only Dr. Rick were here."
"Why? So, he could call a doctor?"
FU!

In Romeo and Juliet, he was 18 and she was only 13, and it is supposedly one of the romantic stories of all time

reply

lol she wasn't fourteen! she looks about sixteen but i suppose she could pass for fifteen.

reply

In Romeo and Juliet, Juliet was 13 and Romeo 15.

The most disturbing thing is that his facial features are totally American...

Romeo was 16, Juliet was 13..almost 14.

It would not make him a pedophile as someone mentioned because Lizzie is not a young child. 3 years difference is not a big deal but if anything it would be statutory rape in the U.S. IF they had sex which of course they didn't. They were in Italy though and who knows how the laws work there.
However he didn't even care about her like that he was just using her.

To forgive is an act of compassion. It's not done because people deserve it. It's done because they need it.

reply

I don't think he actually liked her, he was just using her because she looked like Isabella, so what difference does it make?

reply

In Italy, 14 is the legal age of consent. Besides, pedophilia is for prepubescent children (all though that doesn't make a 40 year old man hitting on a 14 year old any less gross.)

I wonder if Paolo bothered to ask Lizzie her age. If she did, he probably wouldn't agree to kiss her to go through with the scam.

Since Isabella was likely the same age as him, maybe he assumed Lizzie was also 17.

He manipulated her. He didn't have sex with her.
