    I’m sorry… are you saying it’s not their fault that they raped teenagers because it didn’t occur to them to ask them their age?

    Despite a history of music stars raping teenagers going back to at least Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis in the 1950s?

    What absolute nonsense.

      Sounds like people have known for a while and haven’t prevented kids from being around them.

            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.

              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.
