Willie Nelson, child molester?

[snopes]

Comment: I remember years ago,, i mean years ago, that I read in the
newspaper,, willie nelson had been accused of having sex with a 12 yr old.
and that he settled out of court. I remember the paper saying this was his
second time for indecent actions with a minor. I told my friend about it,
and he said I was misinformed. I do remember the article, but when i have
tried to find any information on it, there is none. Can you find anything
about this?

I've never heard this one. Everyone knows about accusations against and the trial of Michael Jackson where he was acquited. And about forty years ago, I heard rumors about Elvis Presley living with some girls in their early teens. That rumor came from a movie magazine or maybe it was a tabloid, I don't recall which.

His wife was 14 when he met her (he was about 10 years older), and it seems likely their relationship became sexual while she was still underage. Wiki.

Nothing to really add to the OP; just in the late 60's / early 70's it wasn't unusual for groupies to be underage. For example:

The Groupies and Other Girls (from 1969 about Frank Zappa; some graphic language)

There was a sexual revolution going on, after all - nobody knew exactly where it would stop, especially since ages of consent as high as 16 or 18 are a relatively modern thing anyway. It's not like everybody in the early 1970s knew that sex before marriage would become totally mainstream, but sex with somebody aged 14 would become the most evil thing in the world.
