However, Editors can pay for people, stories and documents. They can even pay criminals if it is in the public interest. Maz can pay who he wants for info but the Yorkshire Ripper for instance, as a convicted criminal, can't sell his story...unless in public interest cos there was say, a bent detective. Below is from PCC Code for Editors. It is not well drafted. 15 Witness payments in criminal trials i) No payment or offer of payment to a witness - or any person who may reasonably be expected to be called as a witness - should be made in any case once proceedings are active as defined by the Contempt of Court Act 1981. EFTA00682397 This prohibition lasts until the suspect has been freed unconditionally by police without charge or bail or the proceedings are otherwise discontinued; or has entered a guilty plea to the court; or, in the event of a not guilty plea, the court has announced its verdict. *ii) Where proceedings are not yet active but are likely and foreseeable, editors must not make or offer payment to any person who may reasonably be expected to be called as a witness, unless the information concerned ought demonstrably to be published in the public interest and there is an over-riding need to make or promise payment for this to be done; and all reasonable steps have been taken to ensure no financial dealings influence the evidence those witnesses give. In no circumstances should such payment be conditional on the outcome of a trial. *iii) Any payment or offer of payment made to a person later cited to give evidence in proceedings must be disclosed to the prosecution and defence. The witness must be advised of this requirement. 16 *Payment to criminals i) Payment or offers of payment for stories, pictures or information, which seek to exploit a particular crime or to glorify or glamorise crime in general, must not be made directly or via agents to convicted or confessed criminals or to their associates — who may include family, friends and colleagues. ii) Editors invoking the public interest to justify payment or offers would need to demonstrate that there was good reason to believe the public interest would be served. If, despite payment, no public interest emerged, then the material should not be published.

Age of consent in Florida is complex —see below: If you are 16-yrs-old, a sexual relationship with someone 18-24is legal in Florida. The two persons involved must be between 16 and 24. Florida Statute 794.05 (1) A person 24 years of age or older who engages in sexual activity with a person 16 or 17 years of age commits a felony of the second degree. So as soon as you turn 16 you are able to have sexual relations. And you can have sexual relations with a minor (under 18) until your 24th birthday. `Females for JE': Disturbing log of telephone calls from schoolchildren found in sex den of Duke's billionaire friend By Stephen Wright <http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/search.html?s=y&authornamef=Stephen+Wright <http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/search.html?s=y&authornamef=Stephen+Wright» Last updated at 6:30 PM on 9th March 2011 Details of the disturbing lifestyle led by Jeffrey Epstein emerged last night after the Daily Mail uncovered logs of telephone messages left at his Florida child sex den. Schoolchildren were among hundreds of callers who apparently rang to arrange massages for the 58-year- old billionaire friend of Prince Andrew, who was later convicted of child sex offences. Ghislaine Maxwell, 49-year-old daughter of the disgraced media mogul Robert Maxwell, is named in several EFTA00682399 messages. Disturbing: Messages were found in Florida home of Jeffrey Epstein, left. The billionaire, 58, is a friend of Prince Andrew, right In one left for her or 'Sarah', a caller says she 'doesn't know at what time she must come this night for the massage'. Other messages for Epstein, the sources of which are not clear, contain such phrases as: 'She has females for Mr1E1 and 'I have a female for him'. Another with sickening overtones comes from someone called Jeanluc for Epstein: 'lie just did a good one — 18 years. (She spoke to me and said, "I love Jeffrey")'. The long list of women is punctuated by regular references to Epstein's celebrity friends including the business magnate Donald Trump, film producer Harvey Weinstein and magician David Copperfield, referred to as 'Magic David'. The sheer volume of phone traffic shows the frequency of Epstein's massages, many of which were 'erotic' and allegedly involved the abused girls. The evidence is from documents confiscated by police during a criminal investigation into Epstein and seen yesterday by the Mail. <image.png> <image.png> Logs: Two of the answer phone messages. Miss Maxwell is asked, right, when a girl should give a massage One message left for Epstein reads: 'She is wondering if 2.30 ok cuz she needs to stay in school.' It was left in February 2005 — the same year that the mother of a 14-year-old girl alerted police to Epstein's abuse. Another note shows that 'Colleen' phoned to tell Epstein: 'Going into class — will be out in 45 min.' Last night the Daily Mail tried to contact the people whose names and telephone numbers are included in the logs. One girl named Jenny, who had left her number, hung up immediately when asked about Epstein. A man listed only as Darren said: 'I have no comment to make on that.' Today, Prince Andrew was embroiled in further controversy as it was revealed Kazakhstan had asked for his help in recruiting investors to the country. The plea came after the former Soviet Republic's President's son-in-law had bought the Prince's former marital home for £3million above the asking price. EFTA00682400 Timur Kulibayev paid ElSmillion for Sunninghill Park but it has remained empty and has been allowed to fall into disrepair. Last year the Prince told Hello! magazine: 'It was like any property deal between friends.' Yesterday he attempted to perform business as usual as he visited an East London school and met rail bosses in Canary Wharf. He steadfastly ignored questions from journalists asking whether he was an 'embarrassment to his country' and would resign from his trade ambassador role as he arrived for a briefing from business executives at the headquarters of the EMIIlion train project Crossrail. Prince Andrew managed to sell Sunninghill Park for £3million more than the asking price Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1364171/Females-Jeffrey-Epstein-The-damning- telephone-log.htmlnixzz1GBL6XKcl chttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1364171/Females-Jeffrey- Epstein-The-damning-telephone-log.html#ixzz1GBL6XKcl> <http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article- 1364171/Females-Jeffrey-Epstein-The-damning-telephone-log.html <http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1364171/Females-Jeffrey-Epstein-The-damning-telephone- log.html» From: Ross Gow [mailto Sent: 10 March 2011 7:48 AM To: Ross gow Cc: <mailto: > • Ian Maxwell; Kevin Maxwell; Brian Basham; Gareth Thom <mailto.
