I expect there is more to this than we will ever know.
Anyone notice how the article stated ages?
Nowhere does it point out his age (19) at the time of the first episode when she was 14. It says, he *is* 25 and she *was* 14. The average numbnuts reader can’t do the math and sees 25 yo rapes 14 yo. This wording is not accidental, nor is it insignificant.
By deliberately making the age difference appear greater, the paper is doing a disservice to the truth (whatever it is in this case).
I’m not minimizing the potential offense here, but this piece is a sketchy and poorly written tabloid story. It refers to him in bold type as “the pervert”. With what little we know here, “pervert” is pushing it.
Note that a big deal is made about the safety of his 3 female children. Curiously, none of their ages are mentioned. Now there is a real leap. Idiot 19 yo male boinks 14 yo girl (whom we know nothing about at that time) and this magically translates into a 25 yo man wanting to sexually assault his own daughters who are probably under the age of 5?
Thank you for seeing through the hype.
Still I am not excusing Clem.
