Was Elvis Presley a pedophile?

according to Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relationships_of_Elvi...

"Priscilla was only 14 years old when the Elvis began dating her. He was 24, and at that time, he even had a younger girl living in his house Therefore, authors such as Albert Goldman have gone so far as to call Presley a "pedophile" and a "pervert". According to Goldman, "Elvis plays the strutting, overbearing macho in public, but in private he loves nothing better than to roughhouse with teenage girls with whom he exchanges beauty secrets."

  • Elvis is well known, was the most beautiful women in the world in his arms. Never has there been such rumors when he was alive, I think it would not let it move on and he would be forbidden, as it did with some journalists who criticize him because of his weight gain.there will always be gossip, and jealous.

  • No Elvis Presley was not a pedophile!! He was a religious man and he loved his parents very dearly!! And he also loved his daughter Lisa Marie and also his wife-ex-wife!! He was a very generous man and he shared his wealth with the people that he loved. That were always with him-around him!! May he REST IN PEACE!!!!! LONG LIVE THE KING OF ROCK 'N' ROLL!!!!!

  • So she met him when she was 14? Does that automatically mean that he had sex with her right on the spot? No. These were completely different times. Very puritan. For Christs sakes...her father was Elvis' superior. He took her to a jam session where Elvis was. Her father was right there. Nothing happened. Then Elvis left. They wrote letters to each other...as far as I know, you can't have sex through letters, either. Her mother read them. Priscilla didn't go to Graceland until she was 16 and was under the supervision of Elvis's father and her mother. Elvis was on tour most of the time. She says she lost her virginity to him after they were married...not even on their wedding night because E had "issues". Wikipedia is put together by hundreds of different people with hundreds of different opinions, most times without facts and with opinions like yours, the assumption that he was a pedophile. I think people are trying to make him a pedophile so they have something to say to people who call Michael Jackson one because this issue never even came up until after MJ died.

    There is nothing different between Priscilla and Elvis that I don't see out of some of these 12-14 yr old Michael Jackson fans who talk and refer to having sex with a 50 yr old man if he were still alive in their "scenarios". It's all talk, no action.

  • Wikipedia is the most unreliable source on the internet.

    Just because people are calling MJ a pedophile (which he wasnt) people are gonna talk negative about elvis? Let the man rest in peace, he wasnt a ******* pedo! If anyone was/is its MICK JAGGER! He raped Mackenzie Phillips!

    R.I.P

    MJ & Elvis

  • wtf no. He wouldn't even have sex with Priscilla until they were married.

    edit: actually Heal The World... from what Mckenzie said it was consensual... BUT from what she described if she would have said no to him it would have happened anyways. And she said she was 18 when that happened. But he was fantasizing about her when she was 10 years old. SICK your right I change my mind about Mick

    **ok why are you asking if you have already made up your own mind about him being a perv?

    **well it's like your getting mad that people aren't agreeing with you. the need more evidence comment. Sorry if I was rude.

    **Thank you GhostOf!! I'm glad someone else was aware of the no sex before the marriage. I was starting to think i made that up in my head. haha

  • Yeah I don't think he was a pedophile either. Yes Priscilla was young, but Ellen was right. He refused to have sex with her until they were married. She was constantly trying to get on him. lol

  • Times were different then.

  • @ Ghost of Jane Doe

    what is your problem?

    It seems like you're mad at the world for no reason.
