Sorry for misleading everyone with the bigot comment, I meant so say hypocrite. My German roots caught up with me, in German "bigott" translates as "scheinheilig" or "hypocritical" (do as I say, don't do as I do). "Hypocrite" just didn't crop up on my radar when I wrote that post.
Yes, victims can become offenders themselves. Child abuse especially can be a vicious circle. But this is different.
I don't believe that young Jimmy was raped or forced into sex, more likely seduced. Seduction, by definition, is not quite free will, but I would hate to see a world without it. The seduction of a 17-year-old (whether male or female) by an adult (whether male of female) is not abuse in my book. Hell, my son was 15 when he had his first night with a 40-something who had fallen in love with him. I have yet to see any permanent damage (and he is now, at age 24, not prowling on 12-year-olds either, his girlfriends still tend to be - a little - older than him). And if your kid at 17 doesn't know whether he or she wants to have sex with an adult, then ask yourself what you did wrong as a parent.
Did Ms Argento act saintly when she seduced a 17-year-old? No, she used the tactical advantage of a person experienced with sex and she built on their previous non-sexual relationship. That is perhaps not quite the same as being bullied/coerced (as a 21-year-old) into sex by a Hollywood tycoon in a hotel room (and you date him later for some time because you think it helps your career), but it's close enough for you to perhaps think twice before leading a crusade against the guy in the hotel room.
