NBA 'looking into' Josh Giddey over claims of sex with minor

For what it’s worth, 30 states set the age of consent at 16, 7 at 17, the rest at 18 (18 in California where the alleged relationship took place).  The age of consent is 16 in most of Australia, including the state of Victoria where Giddey is from.  He was 19 at the time of the alleged relationship while the minor was 15-16.

In my opinion, plenty of mitigating factors.  That said, he was incredibly stupid to (allegedly) have a sexual relationship with a 16yo (I’m giving him the benefit of a doubt that she was “legal” in his mind).  But he was quite young at the time, and plenty of 19yo’s do stupid (and far stupider) things.  I’m guessing the girl’s and her family’s silence cost him a pretty penny.  Lesson learned, albeit the hard way.

PS:  my inner Gladys Kravitz is a wee bit curious as to how much of that $100 million went toward hush money.
