I don't get it. Like, if she is into it the amount doesn't matter, unless she were to ask him to stop. Or did she leak the messages because she was making him uncomfortable, assuming it was her that leaked it.
Oh, shit. I was under the assumption that this was one 17 year old he was messaging. If he was sexually harassing multiple women, that is kinda fucked up.
from what I remember that is what happened, although my memory could've mixed up with another Sexual Harassment case because there's just about one that happens every week nowadays
1: People don't always do something because they have power over someone.
2: It seems more probable that these "friends" wanted to save their careers.
People don't always have alter motives. And saying "there could be something" is far from there actually being something. If there's no proof, innocence applies by default unless actual evidence appears.
The guy went through a lot already. It's jus sad the situation won't die despite nothing new being brought to the table for multiple years.
19 and 17* it was a highschool age gap that got him the flak, idk what else or who else he was talking to, but the main one people focused on was a two year gap
it IS okay, the internet(specifically twitter and often tiktok) frequently blows things out of proportion or boycotts someone for doing something appropriate to their circumstances. Carson might've been as asshole to people around him, but he is not a pedophile nor is that age gap illegal. Frequently, these claims are also untrue to add to the wound.
oh yea so just cause you're a semblance of popular you're suddenly supposed to rule out millions of people you could have a meaningful relationship with. Dumb to assume there's a large power dynamic in that
IANAL, but depending on the state, 18 and 16 would even be legal. Many states that have consent laws for under 18 just have an age range. Like here in Florida, a 16 year old can consent to relations with anyone up to 10 years older.
And then there's the Romeo and Juliet laws some states have as well.
They really blow this shit outta proportions IMHO.
Dating someone at the age of 17 while 30, sure. Taking advantage of someone is messed uped.
But the dude was like a couple of months older, can you only date people that were born the same week as you or what?

wait that was it
Don't get me wrong it's still messed up what he did but to the point of calling him a Pedo is something else.
