Hmm. Where do people draw the line? When I was about 19, while working in an office during my summer break from college, I had an affair with a 29-year-old coworker. She was divorced and had a daughter who was like 6 or 7. I did not feel exploited at all, and looking back on it, still don't feel that I was exploited. It was a mutually consensual relationship, and even though she outranked me at work, if anything I had been pursuing her. Is there that big a difference between 17 and 19? The difference is the law. But my understanding (as someone who admittedly is not an attorney and does not reside in NY state) is that the age of consent in NY, where Franco and the prospective date presumably were, is 17. So under the law, his engagement with her actually should have been legal, had there been any intimate consensual activity. |

Still creepy AF. |

Neil DeGrasse Tyson, on the other hand, seems to have chosen to not say anything at all publicly in response to an accusation of rape (dating back to the early 1980s). So far, he seems to have escaped the kind of career-ending forced resignation/firing that so many other media figures have experienced in the past 3-4 months. Maybe with just a single accusation, and no other rumors of misconduct, keeping mum makes it easier to survive an accusation of misconduct.
