During the Me Too period I was discussing that issue with a woman I was freinds with in high school. She was ranting that Al Franken was the same as a rapist. I pointed out that, back in his comedian days, he took a tasteless photo of himself gawking at a sleeping woman. He did not assault or touch her in any way. It didn't seem to matter to her. I then pointed out there are degrees of murder, FFS. Obviously not every single crime or infraction are all the same. David Bowie was accused of sleeping with a 16 year old groupie. He was a rock star in his mid 20s at the time. I certainly don't condone that but I also don't hold that on the same level as Michael Jackson having naked sleepovers with 10 year old boys. My impression of Townsend's crime was it involved very young children, not late teenagers. Child abuse is always bad but some cases are obviously worse than others.
