Unwittingly had ‘sex’ with a child, realised it was a child, had ‘sex’ a second time.
And wrote a song about it. And then wrote it into his autobiography.
How this man apparently skated through the #MeToo movement unscathed is truly baffling.

In Germany, performing sexual actions on a child, i.e. minors below 14, is a crime, commonly called child abuse (§176 StGB). If someone is working with minors, e.g. as a teacher, it’s illegal to perform (even “consensual”) sexual actions on minors (students of their school) below 16 or 18, respectively, if they are in some authority relation with said minor (e.g. their teacher) (§174 StGB).
Yes every country in Europe has laws that address power relationships and ages of consent. “Age of consent in EU is around 15” is a meaningless statement and “14 and 20 sleeping together would be 100% legal” is quite incomplete with regard to Germany. People have been throwing variations of these statements around the internet since the beginning.
