Believe it or not but stuff like this has happened for decades.

What's different today is people are much more aware of their rights and what they can do.

As well, what happens today hit's the internet and becomes known by millions in just a few seconds.

Cover up and abuse was far worse years ago.

You can't compare this to Donald Sterling. He was forced to sell because the NBA players were outraged. Star NBA players hold a ton of leverage and he had no chance of staying on with them against him.

Realistically I don't see NHL players making a fuss about this. The league won't be facing the same kind of pressure to oust him. Honestly hope I'm wrong because he doesn't seem like the type of guy that should be representing the league and the sport.

Yeah.... let's just not get into a debate on whether or not its ok for a 53 year old to have sex with a 16 year old. Legal or not, its pretty f***ed up that he even tried it, even before you consider the money.

I feel this is more about power and wealth then about the sex.
I also would like to know more about the girl in this situation. I really hope she was there of her own volition and not being forced by a family member etc.

No

Just no

She was 16, we're not going into some thought exercise to see her intentions in this situation. This isn't about her, this is about Katz. Keep it there.

Well I mean what is your logic here exactly? You clearly believe the sanctions against Abrhamovic (sp) were misplaced.

So because one man was treated unjustly now everyone must be? I don't know if that is how we want the world to work

Gonna need to sit back and wait for more info on this one lol.

"As is typical of abusers facing serious litigation, the Buttons have filed counterclaims that distract from and distort the truth and weaponize the serious allegations of abuse that have been brought against them," wrote Sigrid McCawley, managing partner at Boies Schiller LLP.

"Their counterclaims falsely implicate others and are an unfounded attempt to portray the women they abused as liars."

Marc Randazza, the Las Vegas attorney representing Taylor Button and his wife, declined to comment on the filing.

"We are not trying this case in the press," he wrote in an email.

Randazza describes himself as a "First Amendment lawyer," and his website highlights a number of areas of expertise, including civil rights, defamation, the adult entertainment business and the "protection of erotic expression."

He has attracted media attention for some of his controversial clients, including Alex Jones, the Infowars conspiracy theorist, and Andrew Anglin, publisher of the Daily Stormer, a neo-Nazi website. He has faced disciplinary proceedings from the Florida, California and Nevada State bar associations

here is a hypothetical, say there is a rich older guy who meets a 17/18 yr old who is attracted to rich older men. They have an encounter. As far as the old guy knows she was there of her own choice. But later its discovered that she was being forced by her mom. Is the old rich guy the one who should catch the fallout or the Mother?

Oh look, another billionaire who pays to have sex with minors.
There sure are lots of pedophiles in that elite class of people. It really makes you wonder...

I think thats unfair to her, to just discount her intentions basically says she is incapable of making choices re her own body.
Morally its wrong but legally speaking she has the power to make her own sexual choices at 16.

Man there's a lot of disinformation floating around this
Say what you want about Katz, but the facts that we KNOW right now are
1) there is no evidence he slept with this girl, like it or not he paid her $75,000 for a project
2) Katz is not being sued, he is being named as a 3rd party as the main party is trying to discredit the girl

We have no proof of anything beyond that

Bingo. What the hell is wrong with some people in here? Calling him a pedo, leaping to wild end results like Katz being forced to sell the team, etc.

So can you explain the following then:

1) If it was for a film project, why did he tell her not to tell anyone else?

2) Further, why was he concerned about about the age gap between them when it came to such a payment?

3) Third and most importantly, if it was for a film, why did he tell her it would be put on a debit card so she could spend it on “herself”?
