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!

Of course I don't think it's okay, but I do understand nuance, and I do understand times change, what was acceptable at some point is not acceptable now. People see things in black and white all the time now. If there was some kind of coercion or drugging or something then yes, by all means, but if this person was a groupie who went out of her way to get backstage to meet a rock star, lied about their age and 50 years later needs some money, then it's dumb. I'm not defending the act so much as hating on people looking for easy money.
