Sounds like people have known for a while and haven’t prevented kids from being around them.
Why do you think that is an excuse for rape?
If sex act proven to have happened, it is statutory rape. Groupie or not, consent or no consen.
Ain’t a crime if you got the dough. Arrest the guy who brought her to the house. He’s not rich. That’s a crime.
No. It should be for rape. If he did it, he raped her. An adult having sex with a 13-year-old is rape.
And there it is- another person deciding that women should always be suspected of lying about being raped so they can get money.
Rich people can’t rape people because rape isn’t a crime for rich people because rich people can lie, rape, and kill anyone they want because laws aren’t for rich people.
So I dunno what you’re upset about. He’s rich. Duh. He commits crimes. His next album will sell more because of this.
Unless they're in a civil suit. Which is what is happening,
But sure, she totally lied about her age back then as part of her plan to do a civil suit decades later or something.
And it's not like you can tell someone is a barely pubescent child just by looking at them, can you?
Oh wait, you absolutely can.
Imagine knowing the power dynamic between a world famous star and a teenage fan, and then blaming the fan. Some people's moral compass is screwed beyond repair.
A combination of hero worship and misogyny is not a good combination.
