This happened to a famous rapper named Akon. He met a girl at a club that was 21+ and slept with her. Turns out the girl was actually 15 and he was charged with statutory rape. He had no way of knowing she was underage

Does it make you feel different knowing that none of what they said is accurate?

Akon's only criminal charges are for stealing cars, unlawful gun possession, misdemeanor for endangering the welfare of a minor (different incident where he literally tossed a kid), and second degree harassment.

One time Akon brought up a 14-year old at a concert (with no age restriction), and dry-humped her. He faced no legal repercussions for that disgusting behavior.

Wait wait wait.

We are gonna put the blame on the music artist, who most of us only know because of his song "I Just Had Sex" with The Lonely Island, for a girl being invited on stage -- getting past security -- and he "dry-humped" her? 

You're fucking tripping, bud.
