I wouldn't have that much of a problem if this was a one night stand, but there is a creepy whiff of "grooming" there.

Do you think the kid was tricked into having sex?

Yeah that is the part that makes it creepy.  The age difference by itself is not terribly unusual.

But where is that coming from? I haven't, except for in the recanted allegation, seen evidence that the two even knew each other before they were both adults.

Is it creepy that a 45 year old had sec with someone 18?

I don't see it as that much of an outlier. :unsure:

Neither do I.

Actually, I find it more acceptable the closer I approach 45.

No. If he was tricked, it would be a crime. The guy committed no crime. But what he did is creepy.

In my defense, they would be hack on my part, as I heard them all already on the gay comedy podcast I listen to. The episode was titled "Diddle me Elmo".  :P

Now a second accuser has emerged from the woodwork and Clash had resigned.

Not me.  Actually seems more odd now than it did before.  Maybe not the sex itself, but everything that must take place both before and after.

Why does there need to be much before or after?
