It’s because he’s old enough to be her dad, and in a position of power over her. It increases the imbalance of power.

No! I am agreeing with you brother! We have to stand united against these puritans who are passing judgement just because there is an AGE difference. I strongly believe that when it comes to relationships between one CONSENTING ADULT and their victim, AGE IS JUST A NUMBER!

Certainly not. But he's not 25. He's 45 and between the huge age gap, his physical stature, celebrity and wealth there's a huge power imbalance at play here.

If this all comes out as true it's disgusting. He's also a married man with young kids.

Also importantly, I believe in this instance he is also her employer. To just add a little to your correct assertion of a vast power disparity.

I dont think that's correct. He owns the fishing lodge that hosts the tournament. 1905 is a separate venue.

No you dirtbag, as a part owner don’t abuse your power on staff. Full stop. As a person in a place of authority you have to be a responsible adult. If the person didn’t work for you and was a consenting adult it’s a different story. Not the case here and actions have consequences.

It’s the 1909, and it’s the Kitchen/Bar in the resort he co-owns.

Same venue.

Well, then I stand corrected. Still abysmal either way.

Power is the problem

If they met outside, who cares.

I think the rape is the problem.

But that could just be me.

Obviously but even if he claims he didn’t. Consent don’t work when someone has power over you

That's just the thing.

Several posters in this thread are coming across approximately like this:

‘OK, it was rape, whatever. But the important thing is there was an age difference, and that is just so icky!!!’

Guys, if you're going to get worked up over something, can you try getting worked up over the actual crime?

If you are two consenting adults, age does not matter.

If you are not two consenting adults, age also does not matter.

All you require is two people, above the legal age of consent. If that criteria is met, why do you care? If that that criteria is not met why do you care about their age? It's a big problem any which way you slice it.

That’s funny, adults under the age of 25 can’t rent a car like someone over the age of 25 because they have been statistically proven to make worse decisions than those over the age of 25.

But hey… what would actuarial science know about human psychology and the cognitive development to appropriately understand risks/rewards and comprehend the nuances of them?

It’s easier to convince 20 year olds to join the military & go to war than it is to convince 40 year olds.

But age does not matter.

Unless you want to make decisions based on critical thought, and use your life experience to avoid being exploited.
