One was a web cam model (so I guess live video porn charged by the minute), the other a "pretty face/body promo girl for a radio station, so not really "porn actresses", but never let accuracy get in the way of a good story.

So, this type of incident comes under the same theory that there is no such thing as raping a prostitute ?

Certainly I don’t believe or agree with your last sentence......it is very possible to do that. And victim shaming isn’t the point.

However, it falls under the premise of "what did you *think* would happen with Ron Jeremy?". You could be a nun and he would have done the same thing. Doesn’t matter who the victim is, if the perpetrator is someone whose entire life was spent the way he spent his, how could it be any different.

It’s very different than saying Weinstein or Cosby or Franken did something. Those can be surprises. Ron Jeremy is not.

I'm glad you don't believe or agree with my last sentence, it wasn't presented for the "truth" of the sentence, it was to illustrate how wrong that premise would/should be.

I then disagree with your position that since Ron Jeremy is a well known porn star (I don't even like using the term "star", as that's an insult to other real "stars" and I changed it to porn "actor" and felt that was an insult to actors) that "what did you think would happen", doesn't give Jeremy free reign to commit sex assault.

And you are correct, it doesn't matter who the victim was, or what their occupation was. I was just pointing out how inaccurate the poster was calling them both "porn stars".

A person can be employed as a porn star and not sexually assault others, just like a person can be employed as a soldier, on a seal team, who's duties include killing people, doesn't mean they have carte blanche to kill.

Ok....I actually wasn’t attempting to be argumentative on it......I’m far more of an obvious analpore when I am being that way. :biggrin:
But no, I don’t believe that it gives him free reign to do anything wrong but I do believe that one could *expect* hm to behave that way, unlike others where it could be a surprise.

STILL, in the "just accused" category. Is STILL innocent until PROVEN guilty. Just another smear campaign, until judgement day, after proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt.

And now it's Charlie Rose.

Will there be anyone left unscarred?

He will still win Alabama.

His actions appear to be sickening. However the timing of the allegations suggests alterior motives for coming forward .


Either way. He wins Alabama

Bill Clinton - New Sex Attack allegations

Post by The Green Barbarian »

Bill Clinton is facing explosive new charges of sexual assault from four women, according to highly placed Democratic Party sources and an official who served in both the Clinton and Obama administrations.

The current accusations against the 71-year-old former president — whose past is littered with charges of sexual misconduct — stem from the period after he left the White House in 2001, say the sources.

Attorneys representing the women, who are coordinating their efforts, have notified Clinton they are preparing to file four separate lawsuits against him.

As part of the ongoing negotiations, the attorneys for the women are asking for substantial payouts in return for their clients' silence.

A member of Clinton's legal team has confirmed the existence of the new allegations.

Seems to me if we've learned anytbung it's that Liberals are pathological about admitting guilt while conservatives are sociopathic about denying it.

Sexual allegations now regarding the head of Pixar for Disney. He's on a six month LOA, fully supported by Disney. I'll get the link. He was supposedly kissing women full on the lips if they didn't turn their heads fast enough and groping while hugging.

I think I understand the Japanese now, bowing, no touching. No allegations. They protect themselves, no?

ETA: Here is one of many available links on this story
