Rob Lowe’s career really went downhill after that sex tape he made with the underaged girl.

those aren’t criminal charges, those are civil charges they are filing against the nannies and ex-chef.

Um, ‘civilly’ just refers to using the civil courts instead of the justice system, not that they are going about things politely.

I read that whole lawsuit hoping it would have more details of what this woman supposedly said about Lowe, but it’s only general information about how she was blabbing something about him that wasn’t true, and was in violation of her confidentiality agreement. The other employees are said to have been in cohoots with her. It does sound fishy, Jay, but maybe he’s trying to make sure that this woman doesn’t try to extort money from him or sell her story.

I admit it all seems a little suspicious, but not choosing to launch a criminal investigation isn’t really that odd a choice to make in this situation. If you’re already pursuing civil options, launching a criminal case can really limit your options.

Also, you’ve got to remember that the levels of evidence needed in civil versus criminal are very different. You might have enough evidence to meet the requirements of a civil decision, but not the ‘beyond a reasonable doubt’ benchmark of a criminal trial.

Just my 2 cents.
