    I’m completely out of the loop on this one but the article is confusing me. It says he possibly sexually assaulted a music producer he was working with, but that the producer feared he was being “groomed”. Typically that’s used in reference to a minor, but nowhere does it say the music producer was a minor at the time. Is this just normal sexual assault (not that that wouldn’t also be bad), or was the music producer actually a minor?

      I think grooming generally implies a powerful person doing something to a less powerful person. Most commonly used for pedophiles, but not exclusively.
