Thats why for me, I don't really think that the sentiment behind the OP on this carries much weight for me because this all seems to be consensual, its not about her sexually harassing or abusing let alone rapping this guy. He was a 17 year old who, lets face it, was pretty much living out the fantasy of scoring with a older, gorgeous, famous woman.
Because he was living out your fantasy doesn't mean he was living out his.
I think you would struggle to find a 17 year old guy who doesn't want to score with someone on the FHM 100 sexist women list.
I have a problem with it, like I said this is really messed up and twisted my issue is that I do not believe that consensual sex between a 17 year old and anyone is ever rape.
My issue is that saying a 17 year old having sex with anyone over the age of 18 qualifies as rape is to me, totally stupid and retarded.
If you think people aren't having sex at 17 then your living in a fantasy land.
Nice of you to call me disgusting with out knowing a thing about me, real bit of class that.
my issue is that I do not believe that consensual sex between a 17 year old and anyone is ever rape.
Rape is rape and sex is sex, pretending that a 17 year old having sex is rape is to me totally stupid.
If she forced him, then yeah its rape, its wrong, if the two of them were in a hotel room getting drunk then having sex meh, kind of thing that happens in the rest of the world were the legal age to get drunk and have sex then regret it all in the morning is lower.

I have a opinion that saying sex between a 17 year old and anyone older is rape is stupid.
It would seem several off you disagree with me on that, nothing I can do to change that but please don't treat me like I am some how "disgusting" for having such a view.
I come from a part of the world where stuff like this isn't really much of a issue and would be treated much differently in that getting drunk then having sex only to wake up and realise you regret having had sex with that older women or whatever isn't a crime so long as it was consensual and you are over the age of 16
I think some of you who are flaming me for this should remember that the entire world isn't America or California for that matter.

Fair enough let me say this.
I can see how there is a case for saying that yes, she sexually assaulted this young man and given her position with in the MeeToo movement this is highly embarrassing for her. It does not take away what happened to her however, although that does not excuse her actions.
