Roiland’s former fans and dates described disturbing interactions with the animator, with many playing out over texts. One woman said the ‘Rick and Morty’ creator sexually assaulted her, another said she was left ‘traumatized.’ (Warning: This article contains explicit language.)
This specific girl was 20, so not technically a child, but obviously still weird and unethical for a 40 year old. That kinda age difference obv has inherent major power dynamics (+ the power dynamic of a celebrity with a fan), he knew that and used it manipulate her, pressure her into drinking underage, and sexually assault her
Fine, not that particular one. Just being a racist (unless that was a different one as well) sex pest that also enjoys domestic violence at home all the while.
If memory serves he was also creeping on people below legal consent age.
Yea some were underage apparently. Most weren't, but reading the details of this article really goes to show how similarly easy it is to manipulate 18-22 year olds as it is to manipulate minors. Legal =/= moral obviously, I believe he might have even been in states where the age of consent is 16 when having sex with the younger girls

Knowing libertarian creeps like him, his presence in those states was probably with well-researched awareness of local age of consent laws.
Its really surprisingly easy to manipulate any one of any age.
