Bryan Singer sex abuse allegations

[Tenacity]

17 is legal in most of the USA. So a WILLING 17 year old dating a WILLING 29 year old is completely different than a 32 year old DA molesting an UNWILLING 14 year old.

In the United States.

Federal law says prior to 18 is statutory rape, federal law trumps state law.

Also in 24 of the 50 states there exists "Romeo and Juliet laws" which say that if minor had sex with someone whose only a few years older, the legal penalties would be reduced.

Not all statutory rape cases are federal cases. Hell I'd say the vast majority of them aren't. And even then the federal laws aren't overly clear.

This is from Wiki as I'm not at all a lawyer or looking into having sex with teenagers.

The United States is a federation of states where the age of consent laws are made at the state, territorial, and federal district levels. There exist several federal statutes related to protecting minors from sexual predators, but none of them imposes an age limit on sexual acts. On 26 June 2003, both heterosexual and homosexual sodomy became legal in all U.S. states, territories, and the federal district under the U.S. Supreme Court decision Lawrence v. Texas[49] (between non-commercial, consenting adults in a private bedroom). In State v. Limon (2005), the Kansas Supreme Court used Lawrence as a precedent to overturn the state's "Romeo and Juliet" law, which proscribed lesser penalties for heterosexuals than homosexuals convicted of similar age of consent related offenses.[50]

Each U.S. state (and the District of Columbia) has its own age of consent. Currently state laws set the age of consent at 16, 17, or 18. The most common age is 16.[51]

However a general rule of thumb is don't have sex with a high schooler if you are out of high school.

Remember when we could enjoy movies without having to think about the awful things these sickos do? September was a beautiful month.

Avoid "guilty by accusation" but no human right of "innocent until proven guilty" anymore?

If you re-read my post you'll see that I didn't say anything against the "innocent until proven guilty" standard.

Bryan Singer's Traumatic 'X-Men' Set: The Movie "Created a Monster"The director's auteur style changed Hollywood's approach to superhero movies forever, but his on-set tantrums, a cast mutiny and, later, allegations of sexual abuse have left a tarnished legacy as the franchise turns 20.
