[T_L_P]

all is good what is their to complain about.

The kid being able to wish him mom a happy 16th birthday?

[Jameerthefear]

Her parents didn't have an issue with it and she still doesn't. What's the problem here?

[tomtucker]

...a 12 year old tho

..and no legal repercussion whatsoever? No one even seems to raise a brow?

it was before the internet.....you could get away with everything back then

did she get raped ? if no one was violated then whats the issue? they didnt press charges and they settled out of court.

It wasn't well-known at the time outside of Louisiana and celebrities were more likely to be protected from persecution back then. Especially from a small town where everyone knew everyone. Don't take that as me justifying anything before anyone jumps on me, just pointing out how the world was. People don't get excited about it now because it was a long time ago and most people don't know about it anyway. The girl's family settled for paternity out of court and chose not to have him prosecuted criminally so that's that.

If something similar happened today the guilty party would be ruined.

Off the top of my head, within the past few years:

*An NBA owner lost his franchise for saying something racist

*An NFL player lost his career for hitting his wife

*A top 100 HS basketball recruit sentenced to 3 years prison for hitting his girlfriend

Can you imagine the story/consequences if a player in the NBA or NFL, or a top recruit got a 12 year old pregnant? Is this really just the difference of the times now vs the 1980's? Have things really changed that much?

**EDIT** ^^ RMWG just answered that. I guess times have just changed.

13 is statutory rape, as the girl is below the age of consent. If her family was meaner they could have destroyed Malone financially as well as had him locked up.

Jameer, for your own good, don't attempt to justify this. Obey the law.

they could have but what exactly would they get from malone? he was still a broke college student. plus it was consent and the government doesnt dictate moral and ethics.

It's statutory rape. IT. IS. ILLEGAL.

Good thing to consider.
