    No I didn't mean that. Consensual sex with a relative is a specific offence in the 2003 act

    Him having sex with his own sister? I don't like the thought of that either tbh!

    We'll don't look too far back into your genealogy, it use to be quite common.

    Why do you assume that the other party is a minor? Something from your childhood? I think that says a lot about your thought processes that you equated it with sex with a minor.

    I'm used to hearing about 18yo guys with 17yo girls and ending up on the register. That's all. It's nothing to do with my thought processes.

    And I know it's only 'alleged' but the OP sounds pretty sure of it. The rumours alone would be enough for me to want this tenant out immediately.

    I must be the only one who feels differently here. It's a sex offender! I'd want him out using whatever means necessary. And I wouldn't care which particular sex offence it is. The earlier post quotes 'simple voyeurism' as if it's something harmless.

    OP, unfortunately if you've given this tenant a fixed term, I don't know of any (legal) means of removing him quickly. Since it's now local gossip, I would definitely make sure you have adequate home insurance.

    You're not the only one.

    As a woman - I feel differently.

    If I were a parent - I'd feel differently.

    So - no I wouldnt want that person as a neighbour either.

    Consensual sex with your sister isn't rape unless she is under 16

    You have no legal option to evict him if he has a tenancy. And he has served his time and has been deemed to be no risk to the public. Give the poor guy a chance and stop being so paranoid
