In Germany it's a big theme at Yahoo. I'm astonished that there are no actual questions about them!
I'm writing from Germany.

The German was prisoned in Turkey since Easter because of sexual actions with the juvenile Charlotte.
Today he will be set free.
But the next date at the courthouse will be in april 2008.
There was no juridical sentence today.

This case highlights the antiquated judicial system in Turkey. We must ask why British woman allowed her daughters of 13 and 14 years free reign to wander round a hotel complex at this time of night. It has been proven that Marco didn't have sexual intercourse with the 13 year old, as all young people do, they were 'experimenting' especially when Charlotte had lied about her age, one can assume the boy knew how far he should go. Why has Charlottes mother made these claims of sexual abuse? Surely she realises the damage she is causing to Marco and his family, not to mention her personal reputation and that of her daughters. It is a known fact that 13 year old girls lie about their age, are sexually active and are looking to test out their 'womanly' wiles. This has been happening since time began, the difference nowadays is the age at which girls begin to 'test the water'.
My heart goes out to Marco and his family who are suffering incredible financial and emotional hardship. Charlottes mother needs to make her position clear and take responsibility for her daughters and their actions. No 17 year old boy should be in prison for what nowadays passes as normal behaviour betwen teenagers.

I suppose that we tend to be somewhat insular in what we discuss, although this is a big issue, as it might have some effect upon whether or not Turkey is allowed to enter the EU. http://www.slymarketing.com/2007/06/could-teenager-marco-weiss-stop-turkey-from-entering-the-eu/ As well as having an effect on international politics it will have a profound effect on the whole course of this poor young man's life if he is convicted.
Why were young girls in this country where girls are so strictly brought up allowed to bring boys into their room late at night? By bringing so much publicity to bear, the mother is surely risking the reputation of her daughters? There is indeed a great deal to discuss and it is surprising that we have heard so little of it in the English language press and in English Y/A. For those who are wondering, here is a good coverage. http://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/0,1518,490525,00.html

Maybe on the German section of YA, especially in the Current Events sub section, you will find discussion?

Maybe it's because we have no idea who Carlotte and Marco are.
Who are they?
