Yes, it`s worrying when much-admired rockstars do something indefensible. One of the earliest culprits was Jerry Lee Lewis, who, back in 1956, married his own cousin`s 13 year-old daughter. Among other things, his action poses the moral dilemma : if you want to have sex with a minor, does marriage make it less, or actually more, offensive ?

Not everyone escapes jail, though. Gary Glitter and Jonathan King both spent time behind bars, as did Mexico`s own Gloria Trevi, whose surreal story can be read about, at length, here:-
