This Harvey Weinstein fellow; he's clearly something of a knob.

Erm, the groupies didn't expect to get married to their targets. They just fancied the socks of them and wanted some fun. No comparison at all, as long as they're old enough.

And not promising anything is precisely the point. It makes it merely consensual sex and not an abuse of power.

Right, but one important point was that in a lot of cases they were NOT old enough.

I accept the abuse of power is largely predicated on the notion of quid pro quo (not that I am suggesting that The Quo got up to any of this stuff) but my general point is that much of this is around perception rather than law. Treating a 16 year old girl like **** while she blows a band she idolises is pretty reprehensible behaviour. Rock seems to have some form of immunity from our collective frowns....
