Bowie lovers not victims

- National Enquirer

Two women have revealed to the

their flings with late rock icon David Bowie when they were 14 and 15 — but insist they are not victims of sexual abuse.

Bowie was described by his friends as a sex addict with a catalogue of lovers old and young, male and female.

Lori Mattix, who had a liaison with him aged 15, when he was 25, explained: “I never thought of David Bowie as a paedophile.”

Dana Gillespie had sex with Bowie in 1964 when she was 14 and he 17. “It has been suggested to me that him sleeping with me when I was 14 was statutory rape . . . yes, I was young but we were just having fun.”
