What's this?

It’s no big deal if it’s a clumsy pass. That’s life. However, when someon

is in a position of power & they try to pressure you into doing something that you don’t want to do, regardless whether you’re a minor or not, that’s wrong. What if the person was not as physically or mentally strong as Da Ali G? What if they were in such a financial bind that they felt they had no option but to acquiesce? I don’t know if it goes as far as a criminal act but it certainly passes for a sleezey act & there’s no need to protect such a sleezeball by remaining silent. By remaining silent you allow the sleezeball to continue doing what he does without consequences. If one of Cosby’s first victims had the inner strength to press charges then a lot of other women would’ve been saved from him. This really is a simple thing to understand. I’m surprised I have to explain it.
