I know these cases can take time to put together... but 15 years?
Not relinquishing Mr. Singer of fault, because he was clearly wrong for exploiting these boys, but the guy was 17. He was very capable of determining right from wrong, and he chose to be involved in that crowd and to attend those parties and trips to Hawaii. He didn't willingly walk into that situation ONCE, but multiple times.
He's just upset that he didn't get what he wanted in the end. ![coffee2](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/b80efe23.gif)

I felt the same way at first but the guy apparently did hold a gun to his head.
Collins-Rector, a convicted sex offender who pled guilty in 2004 to luring five minors across state lines to have sex with them, was also accused of holding a gun to Egan and threatening to fire if he continued to resist submitting to sexual contact.
Obviously the kid knew that it was a sex rink if he had heard all about them from friends and he was clearly flying there for sex, but that still gives the man no right to slip anything in to his drinks or to threaten him.
If you read the end of the article, it mentions other people coming forward against someone involved with Sesame Street. There's clearly a rink going on and they wanted to wait to get as many people to step forward as possible to file charges against as many offenders as possible with as much proof as possible. It's a shame it took 15 years, but that's the nature of sex crimes and an unfortunate reality for almost all statutory rape charges.
