Shams: NBA is looking into allegations of Josh Giddey having inappropriate relationship with a minor

[BleedGreen1989]

This is pure guesswork, but supposedly she is either 16 or 17. Not that I'm an expert, far from it as I'm not even from the States, just going of rumors about the expected age for the class she is from. Again, per internet "detectives, everything should be taken with a big grain of salt.

In most of Europe, a 20-year-old dude (he only just turned 21 so its safe to say he met her while still 20) dating a 16 or 17-year-old girl would not be news. The same goes for Australia most likely. The age of consent in Oklahoma is 16 as well. A bit weird, yes. Calling him a criminal like some did is a big reach though.

The rumor online is 15. If she was older this wouldn't be an issue.

It's crazy that this either becomes a huge issue or a non issue because of a few months. Im gonna wait for all details to come out before forming any actual option here.

Exactly. Feels like an extremely arbitrary way to cast judgement.

I've seen the rumor being 16 or 17 because she is a junior.

If she wasn't a minor, the NBA wouldn't need to investigate the allegations in the first place.

Not when the law regarding consent is clear.

[sfernald]

Wouldn't this be considered a legal relationship between two consenting adults?

15?

It happened here in California. She lives probably within 10 miles of my house. The age of consent is 18 here. They will make an example out of him. He is **** (just like her apparently lol).

It's more than a bit weird for a 3rd year NBA player to be in a relationship with a 16 year old lol. What are they talking about? Algebra 2? Getting her driver's license?

Yet I got my thread shut down and threatened for a ban because of silly posters. Clown board

While that is true, I've also read she is from California, where the age of consent is 18. So there's that. She could be 17 for all we know but still considered a minor.

A little of topic, but apparently Elvis Presley was 24 when he met his wife, Priscilla, who was 14

King of Rock & Roll and all, got screwed by Colonel Parker and all, it is a pretty creepy story even if they were deeply in love.

I dont like setting a specific age to determine if a person is adult or not. Some become adult before that age, some become adult much after that age.

You’re a creep. These are the dudes that need to be banned

That's not even the same girl that's been circulating social media and Reddit. Also, I'd advise against posting private photos online.

I’m going to wait for more details but I think this story will be big by next week.

All laws are arbitrary ways to cast judgement. Blow a .08 and as long as you can walk a straight line you're going home, blow a .09 and you're going to jail. Shoot someone in the head and they live you don't get a murder charge, shoot someone in the wrist and they bleed out you do. At the end of the day, the bar is already set very low and if you're in situations where it's up in the air, you're probably still a scumbag

My brother in christ, you can have any woman in the world and you choose a 15 year old (if that rumor is true)

Also, you're a rich professional athlete. It's not hard for you to meet age-appropriate girls that won't jeopardize the most important thing in your life.

That doesn't matter, the law has to set a line somewhere and that's going to be a problem for Giddey if she was 15 when they first got together even in the best case scenario where he didn't manipulate / take advantage of her and there's a genuine relationship there.

Like I had a relationship with an older girl when I was young and I can't look back on it as her taking advantage of me because I was more mature than her despite the age gap and was less sheltered than she had been...but that would not have mattered in a court of law.

So "she was really mature for her age" won't protect him if she was really that young.

I don't agree with that analogy. because if you miss shooting someone, they get to live like 70 more years of life, where if you shoot the in the head, they die. If someone is 3 months from 18 and they sleep with someone over 18 their life will be the exact same as if they waited 3 months. In the first case the punishment is largely decided by the consequences, where in the 2nd scenario the consequences are completely a non factor.

I mean personally I agree with the 18+ law but there are probably more effective solutions like accounting for age difference as part of the punishment. Keep it illegal but when deciding punishment should be more of a slap on the wrist if the age difference is 1-2 years.
