> In Kubrick's Clockwork Orange, Alex has sex with two young women during that William Tell Overture sequence.  In the book, he was raping two girls (around ages 10-12).

But in the book he was also 15, while in the movie he is, I don't know, 25? 30?
In an interview Kubrick said that Malcolm McDowell was so perfet for
the role that he preferred to change the age of the main character
instead of searching for a younger actor.
