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.
we had sex one more time
💀
If he admitted to this in a book, imagine the shit he’s done that he hasn’t come out yet. Ugh.
This dude has dated more underage girls than I have fingers. Why do people continue to look the other way?
same way they excuse brad pitts wierd age limit of 25. hes more than likely wanted younger girls.
Is Flea still cool tho?
I heard he’s a fucking Nihilist.
And a street racer.
What a coward.
How many 20th century rock stars didn’t turn out to be horrible abusers?
Did I really need another reason to hate that band?
The rest of the band isn’t a whole lot better:
Then, Balzary and Smith jumped into the crowd. Balzary picked up the woman and began to spin her around on his shoulders, while Smith pulled her bathing suit to one side and began to slap her bottom, Grasso said. Officials said Balzary got on top of the woman, asked her to perform a sex act, then began to simulate the act.

Yikes on bikes.
having sex with an underage girl twice is bad enough but the fact that he, as a famous person, wrote about it in a book because he knew there would be no reprecussions for him…
He wrote that autobiography when the band was still in its prime, and about 20 years before the metoo movement. That part of the autobiography did raise some eyebrows but for the most part the world looked the other way. Just like everyone looked the other way when Steven Tyler, David Bowie, Jerry Lee Lewis etc all did similar & worse things with minors.
Unless the “victim” comes foward and reports him of rape its unlikely anything will happen.
Wait what did David Bowie do?
I’d like to know too.
Yea, I think that part is the worst. The fact that he still talks about it nonchalantly is gross.
He does not still talk about it. For years if it’s ever mentioned in interviews he prefers not to talk about it because he says he’s already said enough. He regrets he ever mentioned it in his autobiography.
He regrets that he mentioned it?
Topic aside, the page break is comedy gold.
Without the cooperation of the victim, there’s likely little law enforcement can do about this. If she doesn’t want him prosecuted, that’s likely that.
She’s 14. I don’t know about back then, but these days, she wouldn’t have much to say about it if there’s corroborating evidence.
BTW, what’s the statute of limitations on statutory rape?
Depends on the State.
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.
Well, mistakes were made, it’s regrettable but understandable.

Oh for fucks sake!
Do you really think there are any “rock stars” that did NOT fucked a minor?
How the fuck does that excuse anything?
Yes of course there are. What a monumentally stupid thing to say.
really? I think you live in a rainbow world. Guess yoi’re a man
Yes, lots of them. Most adult men have no interest in sex with children regardless of the presence of consequences.
I am a woman. a lot of men don’t think 14 is children. You can hate me but I know mine and many other woman experiences in life and I’ll tell you most men woild 100% fuck a 15/16yo easy
You go from “a lot” to “most” as if they mean the same thing. They don’t.
Many enough to make someone feel it’s most, apparently. Which is an experience that shouldn’t be so readily dismissed.
So to recap: Your claim is “all rock stars are child molesters” and your proof is “how dare you question that women have bad experiences with men!”
Every woman remembers the day they turned 18 and suddenly so many adult men started showing interest.
Yup. It all starts at 18 not at 11/12.
I’ve talked to so many women who around the age of 14 started getting cat called and essentially mourn their childhood innocence from that moment on. It’s really sad.
14? Try 11/12.
Well glad you speak for every woman.
But 17 and 354 days, no
Gotta draw the line somewhere
Seriously. I wouldn’t be surprised if rock stars in the 80s bragged about how many teen girls they fucked on tv. And then everyone watching would nod along and think “yes, of course. That is what rock stars do.”
This is just a big fucking lol of a comment.
It’s always the ones you most suspect
Oh, and besides that, I’m only fourteen
So we had sex one more time
Yeah at first it was him having sex unknowingly with a 14-yo. But dude had sex with her again after learning she was 14 and wrote a song about it. Wtf
You don’t unknowingly have sex with a 14yo. I don’t think I’ve met any that could pass for an adult. You have to be at least complacent with having sex with minors for that to happen and you not at least consider that they’re too young.
I’ve known a bunch of 14-yos who manages to get into bars and to buy alcohol even from state alcohol stores where they’re really strict because people thought they were (at least) 18-yo. A 14-yo managing to get people to think they are 18 (or whatever the age of consent was there at the time) isn’t the hard to believe thing about this story imo, but with the situation described here, the scrutiny over someone’s age might’ve not been all that thorough.
Having sex with her again and writing a song about it after knowing she is 14 though, what the fuck
While I’m a guy so the rules ain’t quite the same but when I was 14 I could easily grab scratchers since I had a full stache a patchy but pretty far along beard. I looked like a baby faced 18 or 19 year old when in reality I hit puberty right fucking early at 8.
Yo I got hit on by a granny…
Its forgivable that a 20 year old might accidentally end up in this situation, not having realised that she was only 14 until she said so…
But you know what a normal person does when they realise they just accidentally had sex with someone underage?
They take them back home to their family and apologise profusely. They don’t have sex with them a second time round! That truly is some child predator behaviour right there.
Should have been a massive red flag when he found out she attends a catholic girls school… “Student at a catholic girls school” does not at all say “this is a fully grown adult woman” in any language. That didn’t give him any pause at all, so I’m not that surprised when a paragraph later he is explicitly told she is underage and his only real concern is getting caught by the chief of police father…
I mean those schools have 18 year olds and most classes will have at least one person who’s 19 when they graduate. A 20 year old starting a relationship with someone in those ages isn’t exactly alarming.
That’s not at all what happened here though.
Wasn´t he on heroin back in that day? Doesn´t excuse it of course, but don´t expect any mindful behaviour that respects the physical and psycological wellbeing of anyone around them from an addict.
Edit: Yeah nah, disregard that. I just read up on his bio on Wikipedia, it´s a pattern.
Well he was already doing drugs at 12 years old because his parents were drug dealers and that shit was just around him all the time.
his dad let anthony fuck his much older girlfriend when he was 12 as well
Daaaaamn
Ok, what? When you were 20, how many 14 year olds did you interact with?
I can count exactly 1. It was my (ex) sister in law.
Heaps. I part timed as a bouncer/medic at a club when I was 21 and there were heaps of girls below 16/18 trying to get in. Actually one of the reasons I was hired was because I normally used to be fairly good at recognising these and their fake IDs and as the youngest member of the team at least some of them as younger sisters of my friends.
And nevertheless I had two occasions were it was a “close call”. Once I chatted with a girl who stayed till the end and she,well, was, pushing to go to my place - until she made a mistake (can’t remember what she said) and I asked her about her age again(I had before and of course she claimed to be 19). She was indeed 14. SHIT. That was literally one day after we had the cops raid the place for minors and if they would have found her inside it would have cost us 10k at least - or our licence. (In theory in my country age of consent would have allowed “it” between us. But no. Never ever ever.YUK) That was a close. (Imagine me always shitting a brick back then and still feeling nauseated today) But would have never ever suspected her to be younger than me actually.
Other case was a girl very agressively pushing her number onto me, I was busy, so I didn’t care, but tbh, she was pretty and looked definitly 18+x. Responded for a call for medical backup, we need an ambulance to respond. Nothing drastic,just someone overly intoxicated. …next thing I can here my colleague from the ambulance screaming at someone in front of the toilets. …It was the girls mother -she worked nights and her 15 year old daughter thought it was a good idea to go out with a friend-. Funny enough my shiftleader was mortified as they had texted pretty flirty before - she had definitly made it inside a few times. (I think she claimed to be a uni freshman,which are all above 18 in my country)
(And fuck,our national IDs were so easy fake back then. Luckily that’s 20 years ago)
I am fairly sure that I never had anything going with someone younger than 16 after I turned 17, but fuck… The first one was a really close call,the second one coud have been. I would have never ever suspected their age. I am so happy that the universe did not let that happen.
Anyway: Even if someone gets tricked: Why on earth would they go for another round.
PS: Funny enough it goes the otherway around as well: A female friend of mine looks,well, like she is barely 14. She once was my trainee paramedic and I got regularly stopped by cops for letting an alleged minor drive the ambulance. (She was 20 at that time). Nowadys she is over 40, has two kids, is a chief physician and tbh, still looks bloody young and it’s often a nightmare for her with some patients.
Heaps, I played magic the gathering. Didn’t fuck any kids tho.
In my work, plenty. And I can fairly confidently say that telling someone’s age by their looks isn’t always easy.
Which is to say that it isn’t an entirely unrealistic scenario, and could be forgiven if one actually tried to remedy the situation upon learning of their mistake, rather than going for a second turn (yuck)
Were you a popular musician at the time too?
the only thing that’s stopping you behaving like this is that you don’t have the opportunity?
???
why does it matter that Kiedis is a popular musician?
Because popular musicians meet a lot more people than your average person. Did you even read the preceding comment??
Ok, what? When you were 20, how many 14 year olds did you interact with?

A lot of people in this thread are self- reporting without realizing.
Lol yep
