Illustrator Held On Molestation Charges

The vague parts of this article may raise an eyebrow with some; it certainly did with me. Although I'm sure the outline of the story is true -- about a 25-year-old comic book artist is being held on charges of what I infer without any endorsement of a legal interpretation one way or the other is having a physical relationship with a teenaged girl -- and that's awful, the fact that no pedigree is provided for the career or the types of comics made makes me wonder how many comics this person has drawn, or how prominently, and if the news story is being driven by wider cultural concerns more than for the incident itself.
