When Sarah Harris went in for surgery to remove her wisdom teeth in the summer of 2020, she must have thought she was in good hands. The oral surgeon she chose, Dr. James Ryan, had years of training, a good reputation and a thriving practice near her Washington, D.C.-area home. As a new patient at 23, she may never have dreamed he’d allegedly watched her when she was just 14. And Ryan would do more than take out Sarah’s teeth. Her family says he would take her self-control and eventually take her life.

    Ugh. The ad hominem is childish.

    What you or “most people” think is creepy is irrelevant, because that’s the very definition of subjective.

    You’re absolutely entitled to make judgements about age discrepancies in other peoples relationships if you wish, but labeling them evil or manipulative or criminal on that basis is presumptive.

      Just trying to make it clear to you when you in your fifties and pursue a 23 year woman that people are going to judge you for it. This isn’t me, it is society. And for good reason.

      The only thing childish here is your devil’s advocate nonsense. I am not going to play pretend fantasy with you and sugar coat the reality that most men that age chasing young tail are disgusting.

        I’m not advocating for the devil, I’m merely skeptical about this advertorial for a docudrama.

        If you want to continue believing that 50 year olds don’t find 23 year olds attractive, then more power to you.
