Good. Its about time someone actually tried to make this pedophile pay for being a pedophile.

It seems the more money, the more they want them young.

I mean not every rich rock star is a pedophile.

Not every pedo is a rock star.

Would be neat if they go for people in power first. Or simultaneously, i don't really care.

I think establishing a track record of people successfully suing/prosecuting rich and famous people will help victims of the powerful see a viable way forward.

Reminder that Steven Tyler paid off a 16 year old's parents to grant him legal guardianship of her so he could take her on tour back in the 70's. Aerosmith was my favorite band when I was in middle school, but he is a monster.

I don't wanna miss one smile
I don't wanna miss one kiss
Well, I just wanna be with you
Right here with you, just like this

If an adult grooms a child and then rapes them? I'm good with my tax dollars going to this.

it was not uncommon for teenage girls to throw themselves at rock stars in that time,

Adults vs. Children?

even though minors can't give consent.

Your burning up!!!

Look. A minor is a minor,I believe 21 should be the legal adult marker.

If what the people are saying is false, then you have discovery. However, if he is 25 sleeping with someone 15, then "she is throwing it at him" is the new "she had on red panties"!

Can you explain what you mean by personal responsibility?

The way I see it, on one side, the law is the law. I can list every valuable thing in my house and put it on a sign in front of my house that also says I don't lock the doors. Or put a sign saying I'll skin them alive if anyone tries to steal from me. Neither sign will change the law and make me more or less culpable.

On the other side, we are discussing morality more than law here. In Brazil, having sex with someone at 15 is not illegal. Do you think it's OK? Do you feel the need to defend the act? Just have your opinion and stand your ground, whatever it is.
