A recent book has stirred controversy by alleging that Elvis Presley engaged in inappropriate relationships with underage girls, labeling him as a paedophile.
Joel Williamson, the author of “Elvis Presley: A Southern Life,” asserts that The King was involved with girls as young as 14 while he was just 22 years old.
The book details unsettling accounts of Presley engaging in activities like pillow fights, tickling, wrestling, and kissing with several young girls whom he had formed friendships with.
Shockingly, it includes a story where he reportedly accompanied a 15-year-old fan to the hospital after a contraceptive mishap during intercourse.
During this period, Presley was said to be romantically involved with Dixie Locke, a well-known partner he met at 19.
Their relationship, which lasted from 1953 to 1955, even saw him escorting her to the junior prom.
Alanna Nash, a biographer of Presley, further corroborated these claims, suggesting that the singer gravitated towards adolescent girls due to his deep attachment to his mother.
Nash implied that Presley struggled to connect with adult women, feeling more comfortable and less threatened by younger companions.
In 1959, Presley encountered his future wife, Priscilla, who was a mere 14 years old at the time.
Their relationship blossomed while he served in the US military, culminating in marriage in 1967 after a courtship that spanned over seven years.
Their daughter, Lisa-Marie, arrived nine months later.
As time progressed, Presley’s life became increasingly embroiled in scandal and turmoil.
His battle with drug abuse escalated, leading to his divorce from Priscilla in 1973.
Tragically, he passed away
