ROFL! "Next down the runway comes the marvelous Marcello, sporting a chic velvet-coated ball-and-chain and, what's this? A jewel-encrusted shank, ladies and gentlemen!..."

Designing prison wear? Do you really think he'll have the time? IMAO

I liked your comment. Very well said. Hindsight is 20/20.

Promises of a modeling contract or not. A 14 year old cannot legally consent to sex with a 30-something man. PERIOD.

And regardless of looks, most people in the fashion industry are very much aware that a good deal of the models are underage. There's no way he made a mistake several times over.

That said a couple of allegations may equal anger on behalf of the women. But multiple women in 2 or 3 different states equals a predator.

Out of most of the comments, yours is the really sane voice. I agree with you.

Did you read the charges? Forcible sodimy and rape, with girls as young as 14. It's people like you that make rape and sodimy victims unwilling to speak up.

And what of the counts of "forcible rape and sexual battery" that the article says he's being charged with? I wouldn't call that consensual sex.
Just because these women are aspiring models, it doesn't mean that they have to fit the stereotype of a girl willing to do anything to be a rich and famous supermodel.
You said there's 2 sides to a story, so perhaps we should actually learn his side before making assumptions about him and the victims. They could have just as easily been lured to a private place with the promise of a modelling job and been raped.

Very wrong-headed of you to blame the victims when there are multiple accusers. If it was just one, then it's a he said/she said and who's to say if the girl was willing or even the initiator. In this case, though, it's pretty clear that this guy is a sick sexual predator. Even if every one of the girls was willing, considering the ages, it still makes him a sick sexual predator, a pedophile to be exact. Are you really willing to say that he shouldn't go to jail for his full term even if the only charge was the pedophilia?

here, here ; gina you are the first woman i've come across that looks at these sorts of allegations fairly and not sexist , because YES women can also be sexist . as well as vindictive . a double standard also exsists as far a sexual harrassment goes , as well as the sex with minors issue . men having sex with under-age partners get very long prison sentences as well as being charged with rape ; whereas women get off light by comparision and are NEVER called rapists.

"You did not believe in a higher power, there fore you gave into your desires to take something that did not belong to you, you tormented human beings!"

To be fair, I don't understand what believing in a higher power has to do with it. (And how do you know what his beliefs are?) How can you say that when there are holymen constantly getting in trouble for raping young boys, or marrying underage girls to much older men? I'm 100% against what this man did, but beliefs of a "higher power" have absolutely nothing to do with it!
