Is anyone else horrified at the men involved in this? I mean I thought having sex with young girls / boys (I mean very young) was a proclivity of a very small number of men (mostly, before any but women do it too people come on to correct me).

Is it that men who succeed in something are so inured to their own invincibility that they think they can get away with anything or is there a correlation between the ruthlessness needed to succeed in these areas and sexual attraction to younger people?

I'm just musing to myself here - but if even half the names mentioned are involved then this really is not a proclivity of a small number of men, it is endemic.

He's already saying his victims were prostitutes.

The man is a utter piece of scum.

I hope this time he actually gets jailed instead of 6 days a week house arrest.

Let’s see what sort of plea deal he makes. Could be very revealing.

Most of Hollywood's directors/producers.

Presidents and at least one Royal.

Nope, it's made out to be, but it's really not. Power corrupts, the more power someone has, the less boundaries there are.

Thank you - had not found that thread.

This current AIBU thread is relevant here, showing both how widespread this male behaviour is in ordinary circles, and how many girls it happens to.

Also, remember Rotherham etc. And think how much easier things must be for rich men. It's hardly as if being rich and powerful automatically puts them on a higher moral plane and prevents them from being lustful predators. Or makes the lustful predator any less attractive to the impressionable victim. Probably a lot easier for the rich and powerful to do it and get away with it. Angry
