After reading the texts, a rape/sex assault case will be hard to prove in court.
Yea it basically makes Portnoy virtually immune to legal retaliation
I've never liked Portnoy, and only barely tolerated him when he was after Goodell (but cringed sometimes at the lengths he would go), because I generally just don't appreciate narcissistic, borderline sociopathic people. Wouldn't shock me one way or the other if this turned out to be true or false
There was a husband who killed his wife by forcing felatio, to put that as eloquently as I can, and was found not guilty because they had a history of enjoying rough sex and it was deemed an accidental death because of his enormous unit (which he apparently offered up as visual evidence to the jury)
A lot of people who end up getting into that type of fetish have some sort of trauma in their past, and it can get really out of hand. I never got into it personally, I dated a girl like 15 years ago or so who I found out shortly into the relationship was into that kind of stuff, and needless to say it didn't work out because I wasn't comfortable pulling her hair (like really, really hard), hitting her, smacking her, choking her, etc... Call me old fashioned, but that **** just isnt for me and would be way too weird, but its still very much a reality for many
That girl i briefly dated was NOT some innocent little teenager/young 20 something, she was from a super rich family and went to very expensive private schools (like $20k/semester private schools) thru Highscool. Was well educated, very intelligent, etc.. but she had a dark side to her and loved to act it out thru sex. Turns out she was also a pathological liar too, but thats for another day.
Some guys are into it, some arent... when respectable men like you bring up that they have daughters, I totally get that mindset, but im sure you also raised them to be respectable, intelligent people as well who wouldn't make poor choices that lead them into these types of situations in the first place. That's why im hesitant to immediately jump to any sort of judgement or conclusion, because while most young women in their teens are good, solid people, there is a small contingent that are bats**t crazy, and who would be very much aware of the power they have in a situation like this, and would also have the social intelligent/awareness to know how they could profit from it with malevolent intent.
You see too many examples of basically a side piece enjoying life being the side piece with a star/celebrity/rich person, but then if they get cut loose there are some mentally unstable enough to go scorched earth. This doesn't seem like a girl that Portnoy was predatorily creeping on, it looks like she was actively trying to solicit and seduce him with all of the rape fantasies and rough sex talk. I'd hesitate to reward that type of decision making, for instance if she sued Portnoy and got $100 million dollars, thats pretty messed up message too, because its saying "oh go and make terrible decisions, live this super risky kink life, etc.. you wont have to be accountable for any of it and will even get massively wealthy in the process never having to work a day in your life ever again!"
When I was in college, I dated a girl who had masochistic personality disorder.... holy cow... im amazed that relationship lasted the 3 months it did, but was one of the first exposures I had to some of those dark passengers people carry around. There are crazies out there, granted they're a small segment of the demographic, but that small demographic gravitates towards these types of rich/famous people and sometimes you get outcomes like this. I grew up thru my late teens and 20s with 3 rich friends, and saw a lot of first hand experience of the crazy ass girls that they were getting involved with, and in most cases those girls actively pursued them, one of them did it blindly from facebook just because she saw my friends sportscar in his profile pic. I never had any of these experiences lol, because I was the only one in the group that wasnt rich. You could argue physical attraction, but only 1 of the 3 was good looking, 1 was average, and the 3rd was, as much as I love him, very unattractive with massive acne, overweight, mannerisms, super shy, etc etc... Even he constantly had crazy hot girls pawing at him all the time, and he is not an alpha aggressive guy, hes very shy and never makes the move or engages girls.. they would just find out he's rich, and like flies to **** were swarming all over him (and i dont resent him for any of this, just using it as anecdotal examples ive seen in my life that make me always proceed with caution before assigning judgement or blame)
I feel sorry for this young girl regardless, I wish her father was a better influence on her.. Being ok with being treated that way by someone directly relates to their self-esteem and self worth, and its really sad that they have so little of both that they would subject themselves to jerkoffs like this
