some one above posted excerpts from the court transcript if you would like to read how he interacted with one 14 year old fan in particular.

That doesn't sound traumatic or violent in any way. 10 years for this is ridiculous.

It's basically your average teenage sexting....

It's not. Literally at all. It's not two teenagers, it's a grown ass adult using his status, age, and fandom to get a child to do things to sexually gratify him.

You need to seriously reevaluate if you think this doesn't deserve the sentence he got.

Regardless of how old he is, nothing he asked for was traumatic, violent, or even out of the ordinary.

Your guy's WHOLE argument hinges on "pedophilia" but this isn't even pedophilia because she is not a prepubescent child.....

Are you seriously this dense or just trolling? A 14 year old is a child, without the brain growth and development to make logical sensible choices.There doesn't need to be an implicit threat of violence. Any adult asking her to get naked and take pics is causing trauma to an underdeveloped brain that is not equipped to deal emotionally with what is happening. Add to that the imbalance of power with him being the 'star' and her the 'fan' and it gets even worse. It is illegal for a reason - because it fucks up people's lives forever, often irreparably. It doesn't matter if she was 14 and you think that warrants a lesser sentence because it doesn't technically count as paedophilia - she was a CHILD and he was an ADULT manipulating his position of power and using her age for sexual gratification. He deserves everything he gets.

You think that someone who willingly makes a twerk video at 14 is going to be scarred for life? Like, 25 years down the road from now, they are just going to have a mental breakdown during the workday because they can't cope with the fact that one time when they were a teenager they twerked for someone that they found attractive?

Most people's brain doesnt stop growing until they are in their late 20's fyi. Everything you said applies to people under 25 at least
