"The Italian actress and director Asia Argento was among the first women in the movie business to publicly accuse the producer Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault. She became a leading figure in the #MeToo movement."
"But in the months that followed her revelations about Mr. Weinstein last October, Ms. Argento quietly arranged to pay $380,000 to her own accuser: Jimmy Bennett, a young actor and rock musician who said she had sexually assaulted him in a California hotel room years earlier, when he was only two months past his 17th birthday. She was 37. The age of consent in California is 18."

Age of consent is 18 in California. There are photos she took that show her and Bennett in bed together (partly clothed).
He alleges she gave him alcohol, performed oral sex on him, and then had intercourse, and that he has been traumatized by the event.

I can't imagine how traumatic it must be been to have sex with a declining but still 8/10 actress only to be paid a few thousand dollars....
The biebs commands 10x that price!!!!!

Well it was bad enough for him to go to the police about it
Would you say the same if an 8/10 actor was accussed of sexually assaulting a 17 year old girl teenager?
