People tended not to care when it came to underage boys. 15-16 year old being raped by a teacher was common sitcom fodder around that time. Frasier and Everybody loves Raymond both had that as a plot (2 off the top of my head having seen them recently), where the emphasis was not at all on the predatory nature of the teacher.
It's because the victim is a male so it's harder for people to grasp that they can be the victim of sexual predator.
When he was only 13 years old and on the set of Terminator he began a romantic relationship with his 26-year-old tutor.
They even moved in together and were in what he called a "quasi-spousal relationship" for his teen years. In 1994, California's laws on rape changed, and technically their relationship was illegal. Furlong's guardian tried to have Jacqueline Louise Dormac, the tutor, charged, but it was unsuccessful. Their relationship ended when Dormac sued Furlong for violent behavior.
Furlong would later wed Rachael Bella, and in 2006 they had a son. But this relationship didn't last long. The drama of Furlong's life led their son to test positive for cocaine and after their divorce he was restricted to supervised visits only.
His seeing her naked when she was getting changed is out in the open, as is them sharing a bed. This rape bit isn't because he's never said she did anything of the sort.It's out in the open.
he joked about it on Carpool Karaoke a couple years back:

There are articles around from bigger named sources, but this was the quickest to find.
His dad also mentioned in an interview a while back that he set up the girl his was dating at the time to have sex with Anthony when he was "12 or 13".

I remember how super odd and disconcerting that was to hear about the time. This even more so.
I believe this is a mistranslation that's ended up going viral multiple times. People combine two different stories together.
I believe the autobiography just says his babysitter was Cher and he used to sleep in her bed, but in an interview about the book that was in Italian, "sleep" was misinterpreted to "had sex with".
He did however have "sexual relations" with his Dad's girlfriend, arranged by his dad.
Legally it's rape. What would you say if the sexes were reversed?
I mean it's fucked up, but if that happened to me at 13 I would probably have felt like the luckiest guy ever.

Somehow I don't think you'd be this wishy-washy if it had been a 29 year old man and a 13 year old girl, since that is basically Roy Moore territory.Its fucking gross, she was almost 30 having sex with a 13 year old. Rape, outside of statuatory might be a bit of stretch though since he lost his virginity at age 12 to an 18 year old, stated in the same article, -which is ALSO fucked up- but he doesn't mention hard feelings or any sort of resentment toward either incident, its just matter of fact, which is difficult to judge. It certainly comes off as rape though. Adults should have better judgment. And to be frank some goddamn respect for themselves and those whose lives they can affect. These were probably big contributors to the kind of hard life he lived.

Had a friend that did this when he was 14, it sent him into a world of pain. You would not, when I was 16 I wanted to fuck so bad. I had sex when I was 18 and couldn't do it, there's some fragility there you just don't know until the situation comes up or after the fact. Really unfortunate affairs.
Yikes, this could get ugly if it turns out it wasn't her after all.Looks like in that video the father calls his girlfriend Kimberly, who slept with his son, whilst that isn't Chers real name. Still obviously unpleasant either way but sounds like it could be two different people.
He revealed in his autobiography Scar Tissue "I was in bed and Cher got up to go to the bathroom and get ready for bed. I watched her take off her clothes. There was a woman's naked body. I remember thinking, 'This is not bad, lying next to this beautiful lady.'"
It goes no where because it didn't happen. It's mistranslated.And I bet this goes nowhere... because he was a boy who was raped by a woman. Awful.
Really? Should edit the OP then...It goes no where because it didn't happen. It's mistranslated.
EDIT: Can a mod please correct 'Anthony Kiedis' name in the thread title? I butchered it.
Removing the comment to avoid further derail, as it contributed nothing meaningful to the discussion.
Semantics are meaningless when it comes to this topic, and it was my mistake.
This is not entirely accurate. First, a woman having sex with a minor is still committing statutory rape. And while some jurisdictions require penetration for it to be rape, most are defined as a sexual act involving penetration, not requiring the agressor to penetrate. Some jurisdictions do specify male penetration, and some even specify penile penetration. The difference between rape and sexual assault is wildly variable from state to state.Technically a woman cannot rape a man. It's only classed as serious assault (which is still horrendous) but rape can only be committed by a male in legal terms.
Having said that, this is ethically and morally rape, so...

Not that odd. It's also true for about fifty to sixty percent of the states. And twenty years ago it was true of more. There's been a very slow, very quiet movement to degender rape that's still going on. The FBI still focuses entirely on penetration, but includes any sort of penetration and any gender mix of perpetrator and victim. The laws regarding rape simply haven't kept up with modern ideas of consensuality.Huh. Interesting how something so serious can vary so much between states
In the UK rape can only be committed by a male, as odd as that may seem
All of these things are fucking awful.Oh look everybody jumping and yelling out at the misfortune
As other poster has posted, nowhere has this story come to fruition
Its taking 2 stories and getting mashed up
You have Cher BABYSITTING, young boy peeking and seeing a naked Cher
Then you have the dad, who had his young GF fuck his own son, which I don't think would be statutory rape (I think with it being only a 5 year gap of 13 and 18 year old back then)
So some interpret Cher and GF and you get this mess
I mean that's one story that's being held back and never inklings of it whispered and now all of a sudden it comes out of nowhere?
Let's get the facts first before people start getting Pitchforks out like this real news
watThe woman he had sex with was his father's 18 year old girlfriend. Which everything involving his father is fucked in and of itself.
If you're thinking of a story from Madonna's Sex book then no she didn't, they were all fantasies/fake.
?
If you read the interview
The question before and after, like it makes no sense
Hey I see your going out with this lady (sex life prior)
Yeah, she's something great, but for others no comment
Oh like that Cher thing you've spoken about
Yeah, I watched her naked and then she raped me
Cool, how are you feeling now your turning 50...
Like WTF?
The dude said Cher raped him and your next question is how's it feel to be old...
Like come on.
Unless there's audio or video proof of him saying it, that interviewer added the other story as old wives tale and mashed it together
Also this is 2012, so it's still recent, it's not like an interview done in like 1998, 20 years prior
No one batted an eye and no one said anything to this?
I'm not taking it lightly or drowning out what happened to the dude
There has to be a due diligence at least
I mean this can become rumor mill, gossip trash that can be flamed up do to misinterpretation
Like I'm no Cher Stan or RHCP fan, but can we get the facts
I'll wait till either its confirmed to get riled up and posting fuck yous to Cher and being heated at her
I mean the dad can be vilified for his actions and what he made his son go through cause those are laid out
Can't believe how they just glazed right over that shit. Seems like parody almost
I think they are asexual?!?
What are you talking about? What's complex about an adult having sex with someone that can't consent?
