Sean “Diddy” Combs was accused in a lawsuit on Wednesday of gang-raping a 17-year-old girl in 2003, marking the fourth sexual assault allegation lodged against the producer in recent weeks.

The plaintiff, identified as Jane Doe, alleges that she was flown on a private jet from Michigan to Combs’ recording studio in New York, where she was raped by three people, including Combs and Harve Pierre, the president of Bad Boy Entertainment.

According to the suit, Combs and his associates plied her with “copious amounts” of drugs and alcohol. The suit alleges that Combs raped her over a bathroom sink while she went in and out of consciousness, and that Combs then watched as a third man also raped her.

    I wasn’t talking about the law.

    I had sex at 17 with an adult and have 0 regrets. It’s pretty normal. I think I would’ve had more regrets if I refrained from doing it because people like you think that’s what I should do, lol.

    To put things into perspective and why it’s always good to talk specifics, I was 17 and she was 20. I guess she’s a shitty person who raped me and should be in prison, lol. We ended up being together for years, it was a great relationship :)

    But I guess from your ‘logic’, if this occurred in a different jurisdiction (or if I had waited 2 months for my 18th birthday,) then she would be off the hook for any and all judgement.

    It’s funny watching you people always pivot to the law as though every law is just and people are good based on how well they obey laws.

      people like you

      I was raped as a child so yes I am very against people having sex with one. I frankly don’t care how your relationship turned out. Legally, she raped you. Besides that, a 20 year old is in a vastly different stage of life than a 17 year old. I’m glad you turned out fine, but congrats on being an exception.

      There’s so much more to the situation anyways besides age. Power dynamic is a HUGE part of consent. It’s the same reason why a rich 40 year old is still a shitty person for fucking an 18 year old, even though it’s legal.

      I can’t believe you are putting this much effort into defending the fact that an adult gang-raped a child.

        Okay. Then why should I care about your input on such relationships?

        Legally, she raped you.

        Legally, I don’t really care. Legally, smoking weed was against the law but I did it anyways. So is piracy. So is jaywalking.

        You clearly only care about what is and isn’t illegal. In your mind, it’s okay to have sex with 14 year olds under the right jurisdiction. In my mind, it’s not okay even if the law says otherwise.

        I’d say my experience is more the norm than an exception, at least for males. I’m glad I don’t let people like you influence me. I’d say that would be way more traumatizing, lol.

          Don’t you dare put those words in my mouth. That’s not at all what I said.

          Legally, I don’t really care. Legally, smoking weed was against the law but I did it anyways. So is piracy. So is jaywalking.

          None of those involve other people’s consent and are all victimless crimes. Dear lord how are you this dense.

          I’m glad I don’t let people like you influence me. I’d say that would be way more traumatizing, lol.

          You know what’s traumatizing? Being raped. My years of therapy agree.

            Really? You seem to only care about what the law says. So you admit that it’s possible for the law to be incorrect about consent? Is it okay to have sex with 16 year olds if the law says so? At what point do you draw the line between what you find acceptable and what the law finds acceptable? Your entire argument in this entire thread chain has been “it’s illegal” when I’ve said time and time again I’m not referring to the law.

            None of those involve other people’s consent and are all victimless crimes. Dear lord how are you this dense.

            Yeah, me having sex at 17 with a 20 year old was a victimless crime. However, I think you’re delusional and patronizing enough to ignore this fact.

            You know what’s traumatizing? Being raped. My years of therapy agree.

            I mean, that applies to you. Not me. Why would I avoid having sex at 17 because of what happened to you? Lol.

            It seems your letting your own experiences dictate what everyone else should experience. Hopefully with time you will come to realize that’s just not the world we live in. Everyone is different, and most people are cool with having sex at 17 even if it’s illegal.

              Read my earlier reply you imbecile. I’m done arguing with a fucking pedo defender.
