This newspaper once featured 16-year-old topless girls.

Page 3 is a feature found in the British tabloid newspaper The Sun, consisting of a large photograph of a topless female glamour model usually published on the newspaper's third page.

The Sun has featured topless models in it's print edition since November 1970 as well as on it's official Page 3 website since June 1999.

Page 3 is popular with many readers, but it has also attracted sustained controversy. Some critics have argued that Page 3 objectifies and demeans women, while others have argued that the feature is softcore pornography that should not appear in a generally circulated national newspaper.

Some campaigners have advocated for legislation to ban Page 3, while others have tried to convince newspaper editors to voluntarily drop the feature or modify it so that models no longer appear topless.

In August 2013, the Irish edition of the Sun replaced topless Page 3 women with clothed glamour models.

Before 2003 it was legal for 16-year-old girls to pose topless in page 3. They even count down the days until it could feature a girl topless on her 16th birthday.
