No and this is why:
"The age of consent in England and Wales is 16, as specified by the Criminal Law Amendment Act 1885 (for heterosexual acts) and the Sexual Offences (Amendment) Act 2000"
They are English... and beside never heard of that other song by... well I'm not so sure, but it goes like this..." YOU'RE 16, YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL, AND YOU'RE MINE".....=)
sMILE.......

If you look at the lyrics, you can see that they were singing in past tense, so no, the beatles weren't perverts!!! If you take anything out of context, for example, a part of a song it can appear perverted but if you look at the whole song in context you can tell what is really being said!
I Saw Her Standing There
Writer, lead vocal: Paul McCartney
One, two, free, four!
Well, she was just seventeen,
You know what I mean,
And the way she looked was way beyond compare.
So how could I dance with another (ooh)
And I saw her standin' there.
Well she looked at me, and I, I could see
That before too long I'd fall in love with her.
She wouldn't dance with another (whooh)
And I saw her standin' there.
Well, my heart went boom,
When I crossed that room,
And I held her hand in mine...
Whoah, we danced through the night,
And we held each other tight,
And before too long I fell in love with her.
Now I'll never dance with another (whooh)
Since I saw her standing there
Well, my heart went boom,
When I crossed that room,
And I held her hand in mine...
Whoah, we danced through the night,
And we held each other tight,
And before too long I fell in love with her.
Now I'll never dance with another (whooh)
Since I saw her standing there

Considering they were really young when this song came out, 17 could have been a reasonable age for the girl.

when the beatles wrote that song, it wasnt such a big deal to date a girl under 18, this has just happened more recently.

17 year old girls are at the height of their sexual maturity and are usually when guys think they are the hottest.
