It is named after the British disc jockey, John Peel, who admitted to having sex with underage children, and who, after his death, turned out to have got a fifteen year old pregnant, and who started dating two of his wives when they were just fifteen years old. If John Peel had lived longer, he would have gone to prison, but because people like how he was a disc jockey who played interesting music, they overlook that, and there is even a stage at Glastonbury named after him. Conversely, the same people will criticise less appealing celebrities who did less bad things.
