Of all the possible kinds of molestation (older male/younger female, older female/younger male, older male/younger male, older female/younger female), this is possibly the most unusual. And it’s a celebrity who’s being accused, which makes it rarer still.
Hm. Anyone have thoughts on this? It’s certainly very possible that she’s not guilty at all, of course. I guess it would be absurd to assume anything at this point, but still - a jarring headline…
I think this is the first time I have ever said “this CAN’T be true!” simply because I like a celeb. I know there are a lot of Poundstone-haters here, but I think her two HBO specials were a scream. Also (why not jump in with a silly, bigoted statement, too?) I just didn’t think lesbians DID such things!
I hope this will turn out to be one of the many hysterical, false child-molestation charges . . . But the poor dear’s career is pretty much shot now. Not that it was going great guns recently.

on the OP - I like her. I still mentally crack up every time I think of her bit about being a waitress (if my customers were mean to me, I’d go back and handle their food)
I hope it’s unfounded. Very bad for all involved if it isn’t. Very bad also, in a different way, if it is.
[Apparently, I need remedial lessons in using the search engine. I searched for “Paula Poundstone” in quotes and retrieved nothing. Had I done so without the quotes, I would have seen the other thread. Sorry about that. If any mod wishes to close this one to avoid duplication, he or she may certainly do so with my blessing!]
