    I am not an attorney but, there are two things I see wrong with this.
    1) Don was already sentenced for this and was placed on probation, fined, and ordered to attend and complete drug counseling. He complied and his probation was successfully completed. To charge Don again violated the laws of Double Jeopardy. He can not legally be charged for the same crime twice.

    2) In addition, this offense occurred 37 years ago and the Statue of Limitations has more than likely expired.

    This is just someone's idea of a vicious, nasty rehash of a 37 year-old story.

    I agree. You can't charged someone for the same crime again. Even if you have new evidence come up or can they?, Oh well.

    Its different if this incident was kept a secret for many years and we didn't know about it until 37 years later. Yes Don should be worried if it happened that way. I would be very pissed at Don, BUT that didn't happened that way. Don is different with his situation since this was in the news back in 1980 and this wasn't a secret.

    With everything that's happening with actors, producers, and politicians where stuff happened from years ago popping up, I guess this person wants to bring up this dirty laundry again even though Don was arrested and sentenced.

    Don was not proud of that and that's probably one history he doesn't ever want to see again. This smells fishy IMO.

    Brothers for life. RIP Glenn

    I'm not sure I believe in fate, but I know that crossing paths with Glenn Lewis Frey in 1970 changed my life forever, and it eventually had an impact on the lives of millions of other people all over the planet. It will be very strange going forward in a world without him in it. But, I will be grateful, every day, that he was in my life. Rest in peace, my brother. You did what you set out to do, and then some." -Don Henley

    It was troubling then and now - these were very young girls 15 and 16 years old.

    You're right actually, I forgot this detail as I am not american
    Anyway I read many comments under the article and some speculated that there may be something bigger behind, given that the ex underage girl is now married to a politician in the public eye.

    Well, I read most of the comments under the story. This is just MHO, but I can't see anything new coming from this. Don was sentenced on this case 36 years-ago. Both girls allegedly were runaways and allegedly worked as prosts. who may have lied about their ages. Both girls were arrested and the 16 year-old was charged. Both were turned over to Child Protective Services. Apparently the 15 year-old was not charged. The case, according to the story, was allegedly investigated by Child Protection Services. Allegedly, the then 15 year-old girl is now married to a Republican Congressman from Calif.

    While I also find/found the whole thing disgusting and troubling, I can't imagine what else can be said that has not already been said in the news/press for the last 37 years.

    I agree but then again why would someone want to open up such a big can of worms?

    This is just someone's idea of a vicious, nasty rehash of a 37 year-old story.
    This is from the linked article:
    She's prepared a criminal charge against them for many of their misdeeds (which include racketeering and collusion and criminal conspiracy), and is also hitting them with civil charges – with any funds being set aside for childhood victims. Because, you see, those Polaroids she swiped that night? She blew town with them. Years later she found them and put them in a safe deposit box.
    While I’m doubtful of this article’s claims, theoretically it does appear that any new criminal charges will be based on different causes of action. In other words, “racketeering” and “criminal conspiracy” are different crimes from “contributing to the delinquency of a minor” or whatever Don pled out to back then. So double jeopardy wouldn’t attach. Someone familiar with California criminal law may provide some insight about the Statute of Limitations but depending on the criminal charge it’s not as clear-cut as it may seem (e.g. what if the conspiracy is on-going).

    The civil charges are a whole different $$ballgame$$.

    That's easy. With everything that's going on in the news, she wants to join the party. I still say this story is very fishy.

    I guess we will have to wait and see. She could be calling buff because IMO this story would had came out by now (name or no name mention)when the article was published on that gossip website which seem like nobody in the big media haven't even notice. Hmm. The media are not that stupid. They can put two and two together if they keep digging. I only saw it on my google notification and that was it. I couldn't find it anywhere else.

    Brothers for life. RIP Glenn

    Thanks Delilah - I did not see the link to read. This whole thing sounds crazy. Why did she wait 36-37 years ? I would be surprised if anything came out of this. The police investigated this 37 years ago. Even civil lawsuits have a statue of limitations. I don't see how they can suddenly level these charges now. Mary Calif. would maybe know more about the laws regarding this.
