If you don't think that's odd then I think we're at an impasse. He could get literally 99.9% of above 18 year old girls out there by the mere fact he is an NBA player.
Lets assume these rumors are true, and that she is 15. The fact she is so young means she doesn't know any better and the mere fact that Giddy is trying to form a relationship with her is a form of manipulation on his part. I felt I knew everything at 15, and now I look back when I was a kid and I was the biggest idiot on earth. The reasonable punishment if she was underaged is actually labelling Giddy a child molester because by definition that is what he did. Consensual or not, this isn't something that should be accepted socially.
Of course it's never that cut and dry. Maybe she lied to him about his age and he didn't know any better (doesn't mean Giddy didn't commit a crime!). Maybe she had a fake ID and that's how she was able to get into clubs. Lots of gradations here.
At the end of the day there still isn't any confirmation whether or not this is true so I'm not going to judge Giddy until the facts come out. But if she was 15, then the dude is gross and 100% should be banned from the NBA for statutory rape and child molestation.
CORRECT. THANK YOU.
There is no grey area in interpreting the law, hence "statutory". DA's will prosecute with evidence even if the victim and his/her family refuse to press charges.
They only "grey" area is when they're 16 or 17. 15 or under... you are molesting a child. Period. Hard stop.
