The worst case I dealt with had 8 known victims over several decades. We knew there were more victims but they didn’t come forward. All the victims who came forward were acquaintances not family. One daughter contacted us and let us know his children were also victims. She has moved out of state and would not come back to make a statement. Her sister who I’m sure was also a victim came into our headquarters screaming and crying about how her father could never do that. Oh yeah her daughter also let us know she was a victim. Childhood trauma like that effects everyone different. Some of the victims will defend their father till their dying breath.

Why do you think this is acceptable? WTF is wrong with you?

Thank you for that correction. Interesting to take nature out of the equation, then.

OH, no. NO! Not this again. I thought it was all about the angle anyway. 😃

Seriously, though, Matthew, god I feel sorry for him. He was molested _for years_ and he has to go through all this again with reporters asking him how he feels.

Jeffrey’s excuse of “seeing pics on the Internet and wanting to take them down” as an excuse for asking for more pictures from the girls? Really? Not even the harassed teens bought that story. “Give me naked pics and don’t tell your parents.” Any 10-year-old kid wouldn’t buy that. (Damn sure hope so.)
