According to prosecutors, Richardson, in an effort to evade legal consequences, is passing blame onto the underage girls he trafficked. The California man is consequently on record stating the minors “do what they want to do.”
Additional excuses from Richardson involve lying about the girls’ ages, claiming he was being used by them, and stating he doesn’t need to rape anyone, owing to his physical appearance.
