    David Bowie’s many appreciations in the past two weeks have mostly omitted mentions of his participation in the “baby groupies” scene of the 1970s where he took the virginity of a 14-year-old, nor have they delved much into the rape accusation against him in 1987 (he was acquitted)

1. The girls he was with were not 14, they were 15. Big difference? No. But if you're going to write something like this, get it straight.

2. Both the girls, many years later, state that they wouldn't have changed a thing. Also, Bowie was around 24. it's not a simple matter... Or is it?

3. He was acquitted of the TX rape allegations. Then, why bring it up? Didn't read the rest of the article. Maybe they address these things
