GH's Sonny (the character) a sexual criminal?!


Question: I've read at least 2 posts from people who say that Sonny (the character) has committed some type of sexual crime. Please elaborate. I don't think I watched GH when this happened and he's one of my favorite characters, so this has bummed me out. I want to know what he's being accused of.

Sonny was introduced as a low level mobster in Frank Smith's Family. He was brought in to stir up the Jagger and Karen romance. Karen (the daughter of Scott Baldwin) had been molested by her step father (not Scott) as a child. She had some serious issues and ended up working as an under-age stripper in Sonny's club the Paradise Lounge. Sonny got her hooked on drugs and then slept with her. Since Karen was not yet a Senior in high School when he did so one must assume she was under age.

Under current Sex Crime laws that would make Sonny a Category One Sexual Offender. He would not be allowed near children , nor would he be able to live in a community without registering.

It is a shame that so many newer (younger) fans of GH think of this pedophile as a hero. He and the EMO Hitman should not be seen as the "good guys".



Yes I think she was suppose to 17. It is not the fans job to look for this infomation on thier own, it is the job of the writers of the show to keep history in mind when they deal with characters, sadly the current crop of GH writers have no respect what so ever for history. I was surprised yesterday to hear Monica say she lost three children, seems so long since any one remembered poor Dawn, let alone AJ

He used to run a strip bar when he was starting out and in that respect he was helping girls to do something morally questionable. Drugs did get involved but I don't remember him ever forcing himself on anyone.

Karen was hired by Sonny when she was 17 to be a "dancer" at his club. She got hooked on drugs I believe. This was before he became a "coffee importer" and before Jason became his enforcer.

In the early 90's when Sonny came to town he ran a strip club. He hired a teenage Karen to strip and got her hooked on pills. He also had a sexual relationship with her making it statutory rape. This is why Scott hates him b/c KAren was his daughter although he did not know it at that time.

Sonny used to own the Paradise Lounge strip bar. He hired Karen at the age of 17. He's had several affairs but he's never sexually assaulted or raped a women or anything like that. Sonny's guilty of a lot of things but he'd never intentionally hurt a women. So I'm not sure what he would be accused of.
