New York has a similar statute that was recently employed by singer Casandra “Cassie” Ventura in her case against Sean Combs. She filed a sex-trafficking and sexual assault lawsuit against the music mogul in 2023, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, just days before the expiration of a lookback window.

If "similar statute" and Sean Combs is brought up when people talk about you? You might need jesus!

Adults vs. Children?

Yes. It's not exactly like it was a secret either, it's celebrated in many songs, books, movies, biographies, autobiographies. I'm sorry to say but those girls were LITERALLY throwing their panties on stage at these guys sometimes... and doing crazy stuff to get back stage. I'm not saying any of it is right, but it was a thing and a different time and all that. Idk really, it's a tricky subject. I was not alive at that time but it seemed like something that was kind of like.. looked the other way at a lot. Anyways, I always thought a lot of those guys were creeps and had no idea what made them attractive to begin with but then again look at the situation we have today. Fame I guess.

You're out!

The "she wanted it" is not a strong defense when talking about sex between a minor and adult.

Do you understand what it means to have power over someone?
