Guilty, But are they seriously considering convicting him of a crime he committed 10 years ago, even when the girl in it denies that it was in fact her in the video.

I say, if the girl doesn't want to take legal action then let it be.

Innocent until proven guilty.

I am not on the jury or the judge.

Not my call.

But like any other person in the American court system, treat him like a felon and smear his name so when he is proven innocent it will forever be a stigma to his name.

If he did it shame on him, but I don't need to know his dirty laundry. It's between him, the girl, her family, and the legal system.

In sexual assault cases, which this is........It's not the victims choice to press OR not to press charges.

How many times did you have to watch it in order to be that sure?

LOL! Actually once. There's a part where he's looking directly into the camera to frame the "money shot".

Wasn't the girl of legal age of consent for the area this happened in? The only thing he did wrong was videotape a minor, and if you watched the tape you are just as guilty as he is.

Oh right, that guy. Isn't he supposed to be famous or something?...



That video was the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen... I'll admit it though, I've never seen the end, and that actually bothers me.

It also bothers me that this bothers me...

While I don't care for his music, in the US he is innocent until proven guilty.

The only songs I know are bump and grind and ignition....not on bass but just by hearing them. Ignition is a cool tune if your with your women...ofcourse bump and grind is too.
