Unwittingly had ‘sex’ with a child, realised it was a child, had ‘sex’ a second time.

And wrote a song about it. And then wrote it into his autobiography.

How this man apparently skated through the #MeToo movement unscathed is truly baffling.

    To my understanding, that is only true for civil offenses, not criminal ones. Rape is a criminal offense pretty much everywhere, so cooperation of the victim isn’t necessary to prosecute, especially with a confession on a silver platter like that.

      Then why hasn’t he been prosecuted? I can’t imagine any DA giving up such an easy win.

        Going after celebrities is bad PR. That is literally why they don’t go after these kinds of cases, turns out political authorities are also just shitty people that only care about covering their own asses.
