A notorious mansion. An alleged assault by a Hollywood producer. [Trunc.]
LA Times ^ | May 11, 2018 | Gus Garcia-Roberts

Posted on 05/12/2018 3:32:42 PM PDT by rightwingintelligentsia

In the early afternoon of June 5, 2014, a man appeared on the subway tracks between stations in Berlin. He stood alone a few hundred yards into a tunnel, and train conductors said they couldn't brake in time to avoid hitting him.

The fatal accident received no media attention, except for a local brief that noted the early rush-hour train delays. The identity of the deceased — Brian Claflin, a 33-year-old American — was not reported, nor was his connection to powerful men in Hollywood who were accused of sexual abuse. German authorities declared the death to be "presumed suicide."

Four years later, Claflin's parents are still trying to understand what happened to their son. Claflin's father received via email a statement his son sent to a law firm just before his death, alleging that filmmaker Gary Goddard had drugged and sexually assaulted him at age 18 in Los Angeles. It was an allegation Claflin had made repeatedly in the preceding decade. The Times spoke to three people — two close friends and his sister, Molly Jones — who said Claflin told them about the alleged assault, and he accused Goddard directly in an email exchange in 2006.

Goddard vociferously denied the allegation then, as he does now. Sam Singer, a publicist for Goddard, 65, told The Times that his client did not assault Claflin "in any way." Goddard knew Claflin since he was 18, Singer said, and during that time often supported Claflin's nomadic lifestyle. "Mr. Goddard considers it a tragedy that he died as he did," Singer said. "He finds it hurtful that his kindnesses to Brian are now somehow being twisted into a negative."

How sad. He had been telling his dad he was being followed. Of course it wasn’t suicide. I can’t wait til we can bring down the Hollywood pedophiles, every last one of them. Their orgasms at the expense of helpless children are more important to them than other people’s lives. They are murderers.

Dear God, please protect the children.

Let’s try to go with the legal system in these matters. A lynch mob can sometimes kill an innocent man. Think of all The Hillary types who will falsely claim a crime to take suspicion away from themselves. And yes, there are lots of evil democrats in Hollywood.

The rape of an 18 yr old is not pedophelia. It is garden-variety homosexuality.

Pedophelia is taking sexual interest in, and action toward, children who have not yet reached puberty.

I didnt suggest forming a posse and lynching them. But when it can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law, them they should face the death penalty.

The rape of an 18 yr old is not pedophelia. It is garden-variety homosexuality. Exactly. The vast majority of these cases labeled "pedophilia" are in fact garden variety pederasty -- the attraction of adult male homosexuals to very young men and young-looking men. It's very, very common among homosexuals. Indeed, it's how many were recruited into the ranks of practicing homosexuals.

Depending on the development of the victim, age 12 could go either way.

On November 10, 2017, ER actor Anthony Edwards wrote an essay on Medium in which he stated that screenwriter/producer Gary Goddard befriended, and then sexually assaulted, him and several of his friends “for years” beginning when they were 12 years old. (hat tip WIKI)

“I didnt suggest forming a posse and lynching them. “

Street muscle of the democrat politicians would now go after the posse.

My guess is with the info that came out about Weinstein and Spacey we only know a sliver of the evil and power abuse going on in Hollywood as well as its connection to powerful politicians such as the Clintons.

Even if you are 18, being sexually assaulted when you are drugged is still sexual assault. And this guy was a Pedo so he was into this baby faced 18 year old so much he abused him just like a child, made him do it against his will. That is a part the Pedophile loves. Against their will. They enjoy rape. They enjoy their victim being unhappy and scared. This innocent was praying to Gd during it.
