In 2020 a former builder called Jon Andrewes told staggering lies on his CV to become a top NHS boss for some 12 years.

Many do not know the UK legal age that you can have sex, engage sexually with another person using online Apps, drink alcohol and fly the nest! Furthermore, very few know which acts are a criminal offence! And what the serious repercussions could be if a complaint is made about any of the above to the Police. In this episode Carla Riozzi, and award winning legal professional and our host Hatti Suvari discuss all you NEED to know on all of this and much more! As always, in Plain and Simple English.
