She was 17 and in high school when the old man creeped on her in a park.

She turned 18 a couple months after they first met. They didn't start dating until after she turned 18 and graduated from high school. I'm not saying what Seinfeld's relationship was appropriate only pointing out that she was a legal adult at the time.

She was 17 and in high school when the old man creeped on her in a park.

Since when is a man in his thirties "old"? She had the ability to say back off creep. But she didn't. She became interested and let the interaction continue into dating. Don't take away her power in this. She wasn't mute or stupid.

+1. She doesn't seem any worse for the wear because of dating him:

Roy Moore did do something illegal: he sexually assaulted a 14 year old. Illegal. Despicable. And he dated 17 & 18 year olds. More creepy. AND he IS running for and likely to win a seat in the United States Senate.

I don’t have to like everything Jerry Seinfeld has done, but nothing was illegal. And he is not running for office as a United States Senate. If you don’t like him, don’t go to his show or buy his books or whatever he is selling.

It doesnt matter if it's illegal, it can still be morally wrong and condemnable. Lots of horrible people manage to skirt around laws to do their dirty deeds.

I really don't get why people are calling this morally wrong and condemnable. Unusual sure, but why morally wrong?

Why do you say "creeped on her". He saw an attractive woman and approached her, like typical courtship behavior. How was he supposed to know she was 17? Was she wearing a school girl uniform?

I'm actually a lot more disturbed about him busting up the marriage of a newly wed couple than dating an 18 year old.

Jerry Seinfeld's own dd is now 17. I wonder how he would like it if a 38 year old man dated his daughter? Probably wouldn't! Just because it is legal doesn't make it right. He was famous and she was flattered but wrong is wrong.

I'm sure he'd be fine with it, as long as the creep grooming her waited until her 18th birthday before taking her panties off.

When normal men hear 17, high school, lives with parents it doesn't lead to them asking for a phone number. Not ole Jerry.

Lionel Richie's 19 year old daughter is dating a 34 year old man, Scott Disick.

Would it be better if she were 22 and he was 42? Some girls like older men, older men obviously like younger girls, she was old enough to make her decisions.

Two words for you: Courtney stodden.

She, too. Had parental consent. .

Sending a limo to pick her up at her parents' apartment should have been the first clue.
I'm a couple of years older than Shoshanna and I remember hearing about this and thinking that it was wildly, wildly creepy.
And I'm hearing about Roy Moore hitting on teenagers when he was in his 30s, and I also think it was wildly, wildly creepy.

This is also creepy. He seems to have a mental age of 19, but it doesn't excuse it.

So are you all adding Jerry Seinfeld to the list of Hollywood sex offenders? Just curious because you've got two or more threads going on the same theme. . .

Disgusting.
