So, is this a "Mrs. Robinson" situation?

[–] ATG6 (3000) a year ago

Mrs. Robinson in The Graduate appeared much older than that (actually only 36 in real life).
The guy is supposed to be 19 in this movie, so they would both be consenting adults, and no big deal.
Except his parents hired her basically as a prostitute, so they could be arrested and charged with human trafficking.
That would make for a shocking and funny ending.

To think of it, yeah, that is illegal.

huh?

[–] fc31 (5365) a year ago

It is prostitution, whichever way you look at it.

It is also could be considered as sexual harassment and assault.

Ah gotcha!

How would it be assault?

[–] fc31 (5365) a year ago

I haven't watched the movie, but from what I know so far it seemed so. I mean if you are mazed, then you are likely committing assault.

She’s flirting with him while driving him home…and he gets scared, because he thinks he’s being kidnapped…so he sprays the mace….not sure why that means she is committing assault.

[–] fc31 (5365) a year ago

Like I said, I haven't really watched it.

Anyone else just think she's got Harvey Weinstein sores all over?

No but she looks like the bar reject from my hometown in Wisconsin.

A bar with a big mirror?
