Sweet Temptation (1996 TV Movie)
1/10
Explaining away sexual abuse of a minor?
23 July 2014
Warning: Spoilers
In the real world a man sexually abusing a minor would be charged with statutory rape. In this movie it's OK because the kid wanted it and she was a "sweet temptation" so he couldn't help himself (and she was resentful of her mother?).

Wow speechless at the comments of men in the Message Boards section talking about what a "fine piece of ass" that teen-aged girl was. Further other males suggesting that because he was drunk when doing it and then didn't want to do it again, he was off the hook. I do hope none of them have a step-daughter or girls near them that they could consider a "sweet temptation" and think they can get away with it.

I guess those guys forget the bit where the MAN kissed the underage MINOR when he was sober and the bit where he tried to pay her off so she wouldn't say anything.

Then he goes and has sex with the mother the day after "doing it" with her daughter and the mother calls him so sweet (what is with the over use of the word "sweet").

This movie ends with the mother alone to run her "Sweet temptation" (i.e. food business) and hoping for a "better future", the guy who groomed, sexually abused and manipulated her child (i.e. sweet temptation") free as a bird, and the minor making new friends so she can attain the "ultimate goal" of having her own boyfriend and thus "a life". Nice lessons there male producer and director of this movie.
