EDIT: Why was this post removed? 🤔

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.

    I asked myself “how does something so obviously bad for his reputation get in his autobiography?”. I have to presume that raping children was so disgustingly normalised, so tragically banal, that the only reason he brought it up was as a “fun story”, because her father was a police chief and she was reported missing. The fact that she was fourteen was probably only even mentioned to:

    1. Raise the stakes and make the story more exciting
    2. Give him some cover (she only told me afterwards)
    3. Make the story more titillating (and once I knew, I did it again!)

    What a complete asshole.
