Not surprising sadly

Mostly my thoughts are about how sexually repressed Americans are that they can't even call a spade a spade.

What exactly is endangering a child?

Because the way you are all talking about it makes me think that he fucked that girl and that is way past euphemism.

Beyond that I dont know anything about it, I dont know who he is, I dont know if whatever it is happened and I dont really care.

I appreciate that in the States your age of consent is 18 so the idea of a 15 year old being sexually active might be shocking to you but I live in the UK and the age of consent here is 16 and its also not uncommon for teenagers to have sex before that too, so Im not outraged if thats what you were looking for?

What is the story supposed to be exactly?

I'm sorry to hear it, but unfortunately nothing about these allegations surprises me anymore. It seems like a lot of the old guard entertainment types are real creeps, but I will say that a lot of people will put public figures into weird situations for attention. Even if the allegations are untrue, the simple fact is that Drake got himself into the situation at all, and you kind of have to approach stardom with the mantra "avoid even the appearance of wrong doing," and that means that you really have to go out of your way to avoid people saying and doing wacky shit.

I've had women accuse me of inappropriate behavior before. Thankfully I held onto the chat records and I was able to exonerate myself.

First question is did he know she was 15? They say it was an online chat so Whos to say she didn't lie on the profile or in the DM’s. Secondly, you gotta ask people for their drivers license and birth certificate these days tbh 🤦‍♀️

[DizzyDesii]

didn't james franco get in trouble for the same thing? Some male celeb comedian was catfishin as a young girl and then got mad that james franco got sexual with him in the DMs

[kidvid80]

he isn't above the law, it just took a little while to catch up with him.

[Paolaa988]

I heard about this too and i am disappointed that he would do something like that.. i wonder why he couldn't go for a girl that's at least 18 or in her 20s instead of a 15 year old.

[SupremeWarlord]

Welp, that's complicated, I will refrain from judging harshly since I do not know the circumstances and such. In my country the age of consent is 14, so he would be in clear here, since the law is different in US then at least he was being irresponsible with his local moral values.

[Madhatter920]

It wouldn't be surprising, as it seems to happen with a lot of entertainers with young audiences. But he pleaded not guilty, so we'll see what kind of case he has.

[SirRexington]

Im disappointed. One of my childhood favorites falling low. So many people in Hollywood seem to be guilty of this kind of behavior, maybe the idea of a pedo ring isn't so far fetched.

[420Rachel]

More and more celebrities are turning out to be scumbags. Wtf 😒. These are the people that kids and young people look up to.

[mistixs]

I'm more shocked by how much he has physically declined since he was 20 on Drake and Josh. He's only 34...

[mistixs]

As for the crime itself, it's despicable and it's good he's being punished for it.

[Gray-Wisp]

It doesn't really specify what the 'crimes against a child' are yet. It will be easy to see how bad it is once more data comes out.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

It's sad it happens but look how many celebrities are involved with committing these crimes?

[msc545]

I'm not sure what I think about this. Is there any evidence?

[Joshua0213]

Was expected, seems like every actor/music artist does something like this

[Kas19]

Not much. Just disturbing and dissapointing.

[legalboxers]

I seen this last night. I was in shock about it.

[SlavBoi]

Pedos should burn at the stake

[princeofromance]

Who is Drake Bell? That is not the singer, is it?

[mistixs]

No he was the star on Drake and Josh, a Nickelodeon tv show in 2004-2007.

[princeofromance]

Okay, Now I know who he is. I only watched that show a couple of times.

[kevyhanma]

Ion care what was said or done DRAKE is INNOCENT
