45. Easy to see why Nugent wouldn't dispute it.

Because if you sue for liable, the defendant gains a lot of latitude in fact finding. Which means that even if Love's allegations didn't prove out in every detail, all kinds of other information about Nugent's liaisons with underage girls would come out in court. Plus, the burden of proof for a public figure is higher, which means he'd likely lose anyway.

Moreover, it's quite likely Nugent doesn't remember if he had oral sex with her or not. Drunk and high as any rocker in the 70s would be, he also has no way of knowing whether a certain groupie turned into Courtney Love or not.

Not only that, I don't doubt her that much. If she was in Nugent's group at any time, it happened. Knowing him, and knowing how out of control she must have been like at that age, it's 95 percent likely.
