EXCLUSIVE -- Natalie Dormer: "I Want To Set Record Straight" About Misinterpreted "Sex With Minor" Comments http://t.co/ytlQjTooOz

Excerpt here, full statement at source:
"I want to set the record straight: It is completely false and profoundly [irresponsible] of anyone to imply that I condone, in any shape or form, sex with a minor. That is child abuse. A serious criminal act, that is completely abhorrent to me. There are details from [George R.R. Martin’s] books that have not clearly translated to those on screen, and in this instance I consider the wedding night scene with Tommen to be between Margaery and a naive 17-year-old. If my writers on the show feel different that’s their business but I wouldn’t have played the scene if I believed different.”
“To be clear: I absolutely did not make the naive, reductive statement that ‘hard work’ is enough to overcome ageism and sexism in the industry. That would be an absurd thing to say. I would never be so flippant or ignorant on such matters."

She seems to think Tommen is 17, but Dean-Charles Chapman was told that Tommen is 12. Hmmmmm.
