In the 90s, at the height of his fame, 38-year-old Jerry Seinfeld courted a random 17-year-old high schooler he saw in Central Park. He'd go on to date her for the next five years. Is Jerry Seinfeld a creep / pedophile?

| 17 is the age of consent in many states. |

| Creepy, but did he sexually assault her? |

If she is legally underage, then yes. |

17 is over the age is consent, and apparently she turned 18 before the actually started dating. They dated for 5 years. It's not something I would do, but it does not appear to be abusive. |

It's still creepy and not okay. |

As a millenial, it simply amazes me that this was ever considered acceptable in any regard. Women have put up with a lot of BS. I mean, we still have to, but back in the day it was like a million times worse.
Thank God things are changing. |

Her parents let her. From what I recall from the NY Post, he'd send a car to go pick her up at her parents UWS apartment. |

A grown man courted a high school girl in a park and asked for her number. |

You might think it is creepy, but it actually is ok. Save your outrage when it is a 14 yo. Or someone who doesn't consent. |

It was legal.
It is creepy and immoral. Ethics and laws don't always align. |
