New Accusations Edmonton Oilers owner Daryl Katz paid for sex with a teenager.

[WillTheThrill]

He’ll end up like EPSTEIN!

Katz is probably on the flight logs

 

[Flair Hay]

Now that it's public, there's no way Katz can settle it now and essentially admit guilt.

That's exactly what I imagine he will do. Pay money, problem goes away, league ignores it because it's an owner

 

[Wreckus]

Gary will do his best to look the other way

Then he needs to go. This behavior by anyone is terrible and has no place anywhere. I don't give a rats ass how much money or power you have.

It is less awful if she's 17 (should still be kicked out of the NHL if proven). If she was 16 it'd be worse. If she was 15 it'd be worser. If she was 13 it'd be worserer.

I mean at some point I think a lot of us would be in favour of castration or would acquit the girls dad if he beat him to death. I'm not sure where that cutoff for me would be ... Somewhere after 16, definitely by 12. I'll have to think about it some more.

Underage is underage, dawg. If the guy beat the wheels off of Katz when she was 17, Katz deserves it. Turn Katz into a p***ycat real quick.

Don't really get your point. Everyone deserves the opportunity to be proven of accusations, especially one as serious as this.

Otherwise you and I could be accused of anything tomorrow and have our lives ruined.

I was saying to not call him a pedophile. Call him a child/kid f***er.

Edited my post after to clarify we should be describing him as an alleged kid/child f***er in this context because I do believe in letting the process play out.

Ah, your post sounded kinda sarcastic. Guess it wasn't. My bad.

Just like in Chicago

A pedophile to my understanding is one who is sexually attracted to pre-pubescent bodies. If you're having sex with a 13-year old, you're probably a pedophile. It's not so black and white though.

Half right. Pre-pubescent ages. Ephebophile is the proper term for up to legally adult age. Different sides of the same coin.

Regardless, soliciting it and paying her is the issue. And if he had a position of authority over her during any of that time. If he randomly met her and it happened he’d be in the clear, age of consent laws notwithstanding.

Wtf is going on in Canada right now!?!

Guys, we got the crazy covered in spades down here in the states, you don't have to try and one up us like this.

Florida North!

Trying to decide who is the creepiest party involved here.

The Button’s, who are alleged to have done all sorts of horrible things.

The rich men, who are alleged to have taken advantage of a 17 year old.

The mother, who is alleged to have used her daughter as a source of morally questionable income.

The lawyers, who may be making up/disingenuously representing some or all parts of these accusations.

There’s a chance the Button’s are making this up as well, although I think there are skeletons to hide on all sides here.

the whole situation is bizarre AF

holy

Was he at this costume party? If so, what was he dressed up as?

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Might want to rethink that post brother.

Prove me wrong, o wise one. There are actually different terms for them depending on the age.

Okay Humbert Humbert.

You won't point out anything wrong with the post because you know there's nothing to argue with. You'd rather just type out a lazy response implying that the post is being pedantic (and possible sympathizing with pedophiles). Zero IQ.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Okay Humbert Humbert.

Wait. You actually think I’m condoning what he did?

And we’ll likely never know the full (real) story.

i agree

 

[Pens x]

Not surprised

billionaires are sleezebags...stunning revelation

[Jesus Take the Wheel]

Despite the creepiness of it all, considering the age of consent along with the text messages linked earlier, he'll be not guilty rather quick

Canadian hockey community – lumbering from scandal to scandal since 1875.

It's not exactly clear in the OP what seems to be going on in this situation.

7 women are suing a husband and wife for sexual abuse.

That husband and wife are countersuing Daryl Katz and some of the women/their family saying that they were prostitutes.

The lawyer of those 7 women says that the countersuit is basically just BS to try and lay the blame on the victims of sexual abuse.

It's entirely possible this is true. I wouldn't doubt it for a second.

But its important to look at where these allegations are coming from. In this instance it is not from the former 17 year old.

Seems like Oiler fans were glowing lately with the trouble in Calgary. This is a big curveball.
