Girl, 14, flies to Turkey to wed barman
Telegraph ^ | December 13, 2002 | Nicola Woolcock

Interpol was searching last night for a British schoolgirl who has flown to Turkey and married a barman she met on holiday.

Rachel Lloyd, 14, is believed to have forged a passport to travel to the Marmaris resort where she met 24-year-old Mehmet Ocack in May. He is believed to have another wife and a young son.

Since arriving in Turkey, Rachel has phoned her family in Wrexham twice to tell them she is safe. Robert Lloyd, her father, who is flying to the country to help search for his daughter, said: "She rang her sister and told her she is married. I feel numb."

The affair is similar to that of Sarah Cook, from Braintree, Essex, who married a Turkish waiter at the age of 13 and gave birth to his son.

She was later made a ward of court and her marriage declared void in Britain and Turkey. The age of consent for marriage in Turkey is 15 for women and 17 for men.

I'm sorry .. I am confused.

JohnO suggests that all moslems are pedophiles.

You then respond to him, suggesting that Arthur C Clarke was a pedophile.

I ignore JohnO (as I ignore most rabid anti-islam bigots) but point out that there were no charges ever laid against Clarke.

You then suggest that I should instead have attacked JohnO and his ilk.

I say there's no point ... they cannot seem to take part in a rational discussion.

And you tell me to get help?

Regards

Sadim

Sorry, I'd just woken up about 5 minutes before I wrote that. Slight misunderstanding.

turk2 paraphrased by sadim->JohnO suggests that all moslems are pedophiles.

Let's see what I really said shall we?

John O->But then, like his hero mohammed, this guy is a pedophile and may like that sort of stuff.

Where did I call all moslems pedophiles? I specifically said THIS GUY.

Am I an Islam basher? You bet. I believe it is an evil cult. But slam me for what I really say, not for what you read into it.

(sorry for the late response, I've been out)

God (Yahweh, Jehovah, Jesus) Save America (Please)
