Ex-Rolling Stone Bill Wyman reveals he approached police regarding sex claims
Bill Wyman, the Rolling Stones’ former bassist and founder member, has revealed how offered to speak to detectives about his notorious relationship with Mandy Smith when she was a teenager. They have celebrated their 50th anniversary and later this year will play at Glastonbury.
But one founder member of the Rolling Stones has been largely relegated to the background, his part in the band’s musical history often overshadowed by his more personal history of serial womanising – and most notoriously his marriage to an 18-year-old when he was 49.
Now Bill Wyman has spoken of relationship with Mandy Smith, the woman he started dating when she was 13, and with whom he had sex with when she was 14, according to her version of events.
In fact, he discloses in an interview in next week’s Seven magazine, he has spoken to the police and the Crown Prosecution Service about the relationship.
Wyman’s marriage to Smith collapsed bitterly in 1991 – they divorced in 1993 – and the two do not still have contact. However in the interview he defended his relationship with Smith, which had the approval of her mother.
