Sean “Diddy” Combs was accused in a lawsuit on Wednesday of gang-raping a 17-year-old girl in 2003, marking the fourth sexual assault allegation lodged against the producer in recent weeks.
The plaintiff, identified as Jane Doe, alleges that she was flown on a private jet from Michigan to Combs’ recording studio in New York, where she was raped by three people, including Combs and Harve Pierre, the president of Bad Boy Entertainment.
According to the suit, Combs and his associates plied her with “copious amounts” of drugs and alcohol. The suit alleges that Combs raped her over a bathroom sink while she went in and out of consciousness, and that Combs then watched as a third man also raped her.
Is that what you would do?

Seventeen year olds can’t consent. They’re incapable under the law. So even if she was into it, she literally couldn’t say yes. So it’s rape.
If that’s something you disagree with, then work to get the law changed. But until that, they’re rapists and don’t blame the victim.

Therapy might help with everything you said.
I think going outside would help you understand better.

This is straight up incorrect. 17 is the age of consent in New York, and many other states are 16. A minority of states have 18 as the age of consent.
I agree it’s fucked up for an adult and a teen to be together, but this is a law we’re talking about.

I wasn’t talking about the law.
I had sex at 17 with an adult and have 0 regrets. It’s pretty normal. I think I would’ve had more regrets if I refrained from doing it because people like you think that’s what I should do, lol.
To put things into perspective and why it’s always good to talk specifics, I was 17 and she was 20. I guess she’s a shitty person who raped me and should be in prison, lol. We ended up being together for years, it was a great relationship :)
But I guess from your ‘logic’, if this occurred in a different jurisdiction (or if I had waited 2 months for my 18th birthday,) then she would be off the hook for any and all judgement.
It’s funny watching you people always pivot to the law as though every law is just and people are good based on how well they obey laws.

Really? You seem to only care about what the law says. So you admit that it’s possible for the law to be incorrect about consent? Is it okay to have sex with 16 year olds if the law says so? At what point do you draw the line between what you find acceptable and what the law finds acceptable? Your entire argument in this entire thread chain has been “it’s illegal” when I’ve said time and time again I’m not referring to the law.
Yeah, me having sex at 17 with a 20 year old was a victimless crime. However, I think you’re delusional and patronizing enough to ignore this fact.
I mean, that applies to you. Not me. Why would I avoid having sex at 17 because of what happened to you? Lol.
It seems your letting your own experiences dictate what everyone else should experience. Hopefully with time you will come to realize that’s just not the world we live in. Everyone is different, and most people are cool with having sex at 17 even if it’s illegal.

Unfortunately there are still states where like 16 and 15 are the ages of consent

I saw your deleted reply; no I don’t think it’s appropriate, see my comment.
First off: there is no federal age of consent law. You weren’t “going off” anything.
What you said is factually untrue. You’d see that with a quick search. That’s all I’m saying.
No, I don’t think it’s appropriate. It is, however fucked up, still legal.
