Maybe not. His alleged victim has already come out defending him.

It’s kinda creepy either way. Like, what’s a 50 year old dude doing talking to some barely legal girl anyway?

Clearly you missed the entire history of Rock-n-Roll.

Or at least Lemmy.

[Chris]

I thought this was going to be about a haircut.

[scole]

I'm guessing that new Megadeth is now delayed. Nothing like doing promo work with *THIS* as a hot topic.

Yeah, I get it. It’s just weird to think of in normal person terms.

[desertdweller]

True, but there's a major difference between consenting adults and what was first suggested.

[Megametal7]

I think Mustaine will let him go from band, I’ve read comments on Insta, people saying he unfollowed him...

[Ghost.]

Honestly, this just sucks.

It's a crappy situation with my favorite Thrash Band that I've still yet to see.

Hopefully, all is resolved.

....and have never stepped into a strip club.

[bigdave]

I think her reply is pretty clear.

[Nick]

....and have never stepped into a strip club.

This!

Doesn't seem to be any "grooming" involved. Thats just click bait bullshit.

It's so good that he is an ordained Lutheran minister though

[Mike]

Is it questionable from a moral standpoint? Probably.

It is something The Stones probably experience every day? Most likely.

[petereanima]

There's a legal side to it as well as a moral side: The difference between 17yo and 19yo is the legal part, and the moral part is, that he is 56 and she is below 20.

But if everything was on the legal side - as the girl says (she was already 19 and evrything in consent) - then, although it is morally in the grey area, it is no shock or anything - with 19 you know what you do, no?

it's weird, kinda creepy, and he shouldn't be doing it, but it's not illegal, and i dont think it's justification to kick him out of the band.

I love it when the very religious expose themselves (heh) as hypocrites.

I wouldnt call the bass player in Megadeth "very religious" but its always amazed me that the harder they thump on that book the more dirty shit they seem to do. I think 9/10 heavy dudty Bible thumpers Ive known in this life ended up being shitheads that use it as a cover, or some kind of ass cover "well we all make mistakes".

Some young hot chick talked him into bustin one out..... whoops.

[thrashinbatman]

isn't the man married too? that'd be double awkward.

I'd personally consider an ordained minister very religious, but maybe you have a different threshold.

[jacksonplayer]

The modern notion of rock stars being paragons of virtue is such an odd and incongruous thing.

Let his wife and his congregation(!) deal with this how they will. It's their concern, not mine.

[Snoop Travvy Travv]

I really thought this was going to be about a terrible hair cut.

Yeah, I mean this was an asshole thing to do, but as it turns out nothing illegal. Don't see why this should completely ruin his career - and I certainly hope the apparently false rumors don't ruin his career.

[Snoop Travvy Travv]

I'm pretty sure there's no laws about spreading false rumors that can ruins someone's life/career but defamation suits are a thing.

He is an ordained minister? Think that counts as very religious
