How much sympathy are we supposed to have for those whose jobs depend solely on the public reputation they build for themselves?
Plenty of people, especially as we’ve seen, manufacture positive public images despite negative activities. Why should we care if the only consequences is that their career, built on a manufactured public image, may be disrupted?

There's always going to be that line between under and over aged girls.
Having a story where a guy approaches a under age girl buys her liquor takes her home and continues to give her drinks and then drops his pants and demands a sexual favor is not only predatory in nature but also illegal.
A guy going to the bar and picking up a girl that's legal buying her drinks and see above isn't really the same thing, and not to defend Brown, but how can you believe the accusation at all. Did she go willingly to his house. Its different. Now we're into the realm of why she lied about her age, was it to sensationalize her story? To extract maximum vengeance on Brown.
To be honest, this is the thing that's going to throw the whole MeToo movement into the shadows again.
The execution of people by public opinion
People exaggerating or lying in their accusations for whatever reason become hijackers.
I can't even say right now how creepy Brown is, because now the second story is being thrown into doubt as he's claimed that she tried to kiss him and he pushed her away.
