Bieber: Alleged statutory rape victim?

Article here. Excerpt:

'The New York Post has noted that under normal circumstances, this would not normally draw the attention of prosecutors, both because of the limited age difference between the two and because underage males are oftentimes perceived as being left unscathed by sexual experiences with slightly older women. But the high profile of this case might change that. Steve Cron, a California defense lawyer, told the Post: “Under these circumstances, the DA’s office has to show they’re not treating women differently, not treating a celebrity differently, [and] they might have to do something.”

While there are many questions that remain to be answered, if it is determined that the allegations against Bieber are true, Yeater has opened herself up to prosecution. If Yeater were found guilty of misdemeanor statutory rape, she would likely be punished with probation. But it adds yet another complicating legal issue to what promises to be one of the more high profile paternity suits in years.'
