| "It seems like Rapp was mature and sensible enough to fend Spacey off at the time." He was 14. | |

| Thank you. It’s been startling how many smart people are presuming a 14-year-old was both fair game and “willing.” It’s all because Rapp is out. Were he straight and, say, married to a woman, he’d be characterized as a victim on par with those abused by priests*. But two gay actors are immediately almost fetishized as in cahoots. *gay victims often receive less compassion, but not a topic for this board. |

| I don't think you misunderstood it. Perhaps blame is not the best word, but it is of no moment that some victims are better able to take care of themselves than others (and this is particularly true is sex crimes where there is a presumption). An attempted murder is no less heinous because the victim was a martial arts practitioner who was able to disable the murderer before the deed was done. | |

| I don't believe that he is blaming the victim. I believe that he is crediting Rapp's maturity at stopping this crime from going any further. The story might not have ended there for too many other youths. | |
