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.

    If he admitted to this in a book, imagine the shit he’s done that he hasn’t come out yet. Ugh.

      I asked myself “how does something so obviously bad for his reputation get in his autobiography?”. I have to presume that raping children was so disgustingly normalised, so tragically banal, that the only reason he brought it up was as a “fun story”, because her father was a police chief and she was reported missing. The fact that she was fourteen was probably only even mentioned to:

      1. Raise the stakes and make the story more exciting
      2. Give him some cover (she only told me afterwards)
      3. Make the story more titillating (and once I knew, I did it again!)

      What a complete asshole.

      Ever since i saw that interview of them where they tried to grope and fuck that lady on the air, i was so disgusted that i would never listen to them again. Not that i really did in a long time, but that killed my last desire to care for them at all.
