Much like rock stars hooking up with way underage teens, we also seem to give a pass to celebrities we like. Lets not forget three big names that Wilmer Valderrama hooked up with were all underage (Mandy 16, Lindsay 17, Demi 17) when he did so. Oh, and that Joel Madden was closer to 30 than 20 when he took the virginity of a barely old enough to drive Hilary Duff. Oh, and don't forget the nearly 40 year old Jerry Seinfeld hooking up with the underage high school senior.
So, it shouldn't come as a shock that we have given a pass to this former A- list mostly movie actor who was in his mid 30's when he was dating someone barely old enough to drive. The thing is though, she wasn't the only one. As he was introduced to her friends, he would invite them to his home after school, usually paying for a driver to pick them up and drop them back off so no one would see him with them. These teens ranged in age from 13-17 and he always thought that losing their virginity to him was the best thing that could happen to them. That they needed a real man to show them the ropes. He must have committed several dozen statutory rapes, not including his permanent underage girlfriend. Even when this comes to light, and it will, no one will say anything. It will all just be chalked up to celebrities being celebrities and people will probably agree with his awful misguided theory.
