Unwittingly had 'sex' with a child, realised it was a child, had 'sex' a second time.
And wrote a song about it. And then wrote it into his autobiography.
How this man apparently skated through the #MeToo movement unscathed is truly baffling.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.

Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

Yes, lots of them. Most adult men have no interest in sex with children regardless of the presence of consequences.
Every woman remembers the day they turned 18 and suddenly so many adult men started showing interest.
But 17 and 354 days, no
Gotta draw the line somewhere
Yup. It all starts at 18 not at 11/12.
I've talked to so many women who around the age of 14 started getting cat called and essentially mourn their childhood innocence from that moment on. It's really sad.
14? Try 11/12.
I was 12. It stopped when I was slightly over 20.
Try a lot younger and it’s a lot worse than cat calls
Well glad you speak for every woman.
Someone has to do it. The comment was an obvious /s though. (And if so is yours, I'm sorry.)
I am a woman. a lot of men don't think 14 is children. You can hate me but I know mine and many other woman experiences in life and I'll tell you most men woild 100% fuck a 15/16yo easy
You go from "a lot" to "most" as if they mean the same thing. They don't.
Many enough to make someone feel it's most, apparently. Which is an experience that shouldn't be so readily dismissed.
So to recap: Your claim is "all rock stars are child molesters" and your proof is "how dare you question that women have bad experiences with men!"
Plus the amount of porn where the fantasy is about having sex with a teenager is endless.
Right? The barely legal thing is fucked up
The men shall decide which of your lived experiences are valid!
I can't help but think these people are trying to downplay their sexual attraction to children by pretending every person they've oogled was definitely an adult.
I'm a man, and most women think it's okay to have sex with underaged boys. Damn, looks like a stalemate.
Most adult men are not rock stars though.
