I'm absolutely not an Akon fan in any way, but I think you'll need to provide some sort of evidence that he "went to jail for banging a 13 year old", because it seems to me that if that in fact happened, it would be relatively easy to find details via Google.

Found this on Wikipedia, but there are some very important differences.

> In April 2007, Akon drew criticism for an onstage act which included simulated sex with Danah Alleyne — a 15-year-old girl at the time who is the daughter of a pastor and sister of Crime Watch host Ian Alleyne — at the Zen Nightclub in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago as part of a fake contest, despite the club's claim to have a 21 years and over age requirement

Yes, that's a very long way away from going to jail for banging a 13 year old.

Agreed, the original comment was corrected. This in no way absolves Akon of His errors in judgement. My initial assessment stands. I would not trust somebody who hasn’t had their security vet people who come on stage for simulated sex acts by at least checking ID. That’s poor judgement in an environment where underage people in the crowd is a near certainty.

Dude, you're either trolling or you have some serious problems. Good luck with your life, and I hope you resolve whatever is making you act like this.
