obviously you have never been abused

Yeah. There are large numbers of cases where this happens, and the victim’s trauma doesn’t initiate for years or decades later.

If anything happened to me as a kid, I had enough confidence in my parents that they wouldn’t have been in denial. They would have done everything in their power AT THE TIME to bring this guy to justice. I have less sympathy for someone who takes civil action after so many years—I think they have dollar signs in their head.

I agree that abused people usually are afraid to come forward right away and the statute of limitations need to be lengthened for these crimes.

I just wonder if as the article put it:

Singer used his power in the entertainment industry to sexually exploit him when he was an underage teen actor striking it out in Los Angeles

I wonder if a male teenage of 17 (legal in most states) and an actor, probably was already homosexual and was willing to use the casting couch system that Hollyweird uses. he failed in his dreams of show biz and in the end decided to make his payday a different way.

just a thought.
