The possibility of getting a shedload of money will have nothing to do with it, of course.
Imagine waiting forty or fifty years for this. And being the lawyer who took the case, because metoo can be monetised so easily.
It's so ridiculous to judge the 1970s by 2020s puritan morals. Back then, no one cared one bit if a 16 year old and a 25 year old copulated, especially if the 25 year old was a rock star. Back then, that 16 year old woud have been considered lucky. I find it hard to believe she didn't feel pleased about it at the time. It's only today that victim claims are universal, sex is back to being a wicked thing (rather than a liberating one) and everything anyone does is wrong from one perspective or another.
