Guarantee they didn’t pay him anything. That statement was probably the extent of the settlement

Credit to him for handling the situation so well. Luckily there were witnesses and videotape (although what about that source that claimed she was passed out while he was performing oral sex) to clear him. Otherwise he’d be sitting in jail charged with rape, and a whole chorus of people would be condemning him…

Not to create a hysteria, but I’ve worked in the juvenile system and sadly molestation cases like this are not uncommon with boys 12-15. Often involving low IQ kids who struggle with boundry issues as they go through puberty. These kids are not the same as adult offenders who suffer from a psychological disorder. …

Reminds me of the movie “Beyond the Lights”, sadly seems so exploitive and at the same time boring.

Because a 19 year old is still neurologically developing they can’t independently make a decision about who they have sex with until that process stops at 25? Wow we are infantalizing young adults if that is the case.

How is this body shaming? Yes, he definitely sounds creepy and inappropriate, but how did she interpret this to mean that he found her unattractive. Sounds to me like he was trying (horribly) to make a joke and she has a stick wedged so far up her butt that she took it as criticism.

Can’t we just agree that both are annoying human beings? Her for texting during a movie, him for filing a pointless lawsuit? Besides anyone over the age of 18 who chooses a movie for a first date is clueless about life.

Always inappropriate? That’s absurd. Adults of legal age should be free to decide who they want to become romantically involved with no matter the age. Just like a bigot in Kentucky shouldn’t be able to stop homosexuals from marrying because she personally disagrees with their choices, you shouldn’t be able to…

Huh? I mean I don’t think there is anything wrong with her dating younger guys, I mean it’s only natural given that she is constantly around dancers, but to say that she is dating them because she can’t find guys her age who are into fitness and eating well is a stretch.

Well, the pieces have clearly provoked an emotional response. I think the issue of how black women are depicted in black media is ripe for conversation which this artist has triggered. That he is not African American shouldn’t make a difference, it’s nonsense to say only African Americans can address subjects in…

Yes, because convicted sex offenders are treated so softly by our society.

Unfortunately, I don’t think it’s changed that much. Ask a guy now even one trained under affirmative consent what it means for a girl to be blacked out drunk and he will equate it with being passed out. The problem is that in a blacked out state you can still appear “awake” and even respond to questions without being…

And saying that I don't care what a jury says anyone accused of rape is a rapist is equally ignorant.

Raped 5 year olds on videotape and were acquitted? Where the hell do you live? Unless there were ID issues, I’m suspicious about that claim.

Would be interested in hearing more about his actual experience. Sounds like it may have been a bullying situation in which he was harassed.

The problem I have with this video, is that it's clearly a performance. Well done, but clearly done to to elicit an emotional response.

I know people feel that she deserves no mercy, but yikes how creepy is that reporter hounding her in the video? Does asking someone if they had an abortion when they clearly don't want to talk to you make you feel like a genuine reporter?

Yeah, because the foster system is such a wonderful experience for teens, right? I understand the outrage here, but don’t abandon common sense.

From my own experience, I’ve been with my wife for 10 years. Sex is great, but what I miss is that initial spark that comes when you meet someone new. This is why I don’t use escorts, but instead visit strip clubs, it’s not about getting off, it’s about the illusion of mutual interest. Of course it’s feigned , but a…

My initial reaction was that the father was somehow involved in pimping his daughter. That is of course wild speculation, but come on, drinking with your daughter in a park at night is not normal behavior. Maybe he set up a one on one deal and the kid showed up w/ his friends.
