In 1980, Don Henley (of the Eagles) was arrested after a 16-year-old girl overdosed on quaaludes and cocaine at his house. She was later arrested for prostitution along with another 15-year-old girl also found at his house the same night. He claimed he he didn't sleep with either of them; he was fined $2,000 and given 2 years of probation for contributing to the delinquency of a minor. He allegedly wrote the song Dirty Laundry about the press reporting about this.

Although this list of Music scene predators is considered “Incomplete” it sadly & certainly sufficiently depicts enough music stars to portray their predatory character. Very thorough research. Be safe!

The Mamas and The Papas is another band that there was something really sleazy going on with.
Gary Glitter -just YUCK. He looks the part too.
