Minsky never raped anyone. The 17 year old girl was sent to him and politely refused. She has even confirmed this. I feel as if he goes to great lengths to speak clearly and people never seem to listen.

I do agree, however, his early views on pedophilia are creepy. I have never heard him support cp, so I won't argue either way.

I am not a lawyer or a judge.

But "early views" nothing. The guy knows where he stands, it's just that now he knows that being open about those views will get him in trouble.
