    I didn’t expect Jay-Z to get roped into this. But he’s a big time musician and they seem to have felt like they can get away with raping teenage groupies for many decades now.

      Makes me wonder how BIG would fit into all of this if he was still alive. I’m thinking it wouldn’t be good for him either.

        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.

                  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.

        I think the difference between a 13 year old and an 18 year old is generally pretty obvious and if you can’t tell then don’t even risk it.

                That’s the current practice but there is no legal exemption for them on the books.

                Also it seems owner class is ready to get rid of these sex pests now for some reason

                  The sex pest just got elected. It’s the opposite of what you think. Fewer cases of RICH people will be tried.

        Lol this is the hill you’re going to die on? You can put any 13 year old in front of me and I’ll immediately know it’s a child, you know, because they are children.

        This is not a good look.
