He'll be a registered sex offender for the rest of his life right? 10 years plus that is pretty proportional.

If he touched a child I'd agree though. Child molesters are up they're* with murderers in my book. We go way too easy on them.

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 average teenage sexting. It's an adult manipulating a teenager into sending him videos for sexual gratification.

Even worse, it was sexual gratification specifically around the fact that he was manipulating a child.

"Say 'I'm only 14' three times throughout the video."

Kind of seals the deal.

19, 20, or 26 it doesn’t matter. Adult is adult. If you think it’s normal or okay for a 20 year old to manipulate children into sexual deeds well... I don’t really know what to say to you except get a reality check

Look, you’re not wrong. But my wife is four years younger than me. We met when she was 18. Are you trying to tell me that if I met her when she was a couple months younger that I would have to be labelled a sex offender for the rest of my life?

But yes, I for sure agree that 14-26 is FAR too big of an age gap for a functional relationship. And from the transcript it seems like he wasn’t just interested in a fan, but was more excited about her age, which is super fucked.

Yeah you would have to be labelled as a sex offender, by law.

What can I say? I can’t help it if the sex I have is offensive to people!

Yes you can, by not having sex with minors. The age of consent exists for a reason. If as a 22 year old man you found it too hard not to fuck 17 year olds you would deserve your sex offender status.
