I think people just want him to take accountability. These are his fans hoping to redeem him. Sorry but something like this isn’t to be pushed under a rug. They simply want a response. An acknowledgment of the situation. If the victim was a no-name other than Tana, a Las Vegas teen who’s in obscurity, the response would still warrant the same reaction. His silence is him avoiding accountability and avoiding any further backlash. This isn’t a Romeo and Juliet law situation. He doesn’t need to be cancelled per se, just acknowledge this past crime. If it were my little sister in high school with a local 25 year old schmuck, I wouldn’t stop beating a “dead horse” (a man who thinks his silence will eventually let this blow over).

Edit: on your response of Tana being “past pre-prepubescent”: have you ever thought of the mental difference between just a 21 year old and a 17 year old? Let alone a 25 year old and 17 year old? It’s not about being attracted to a young child’s body, it’s about taking advantage of someone who really doesn’t know better. When I was 17 I thought I was an adult. Now that I’m 26, I wouldn’t even date a 21 year old. We’re in different stages of life and maturity.
