    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.
