Lucas was one of the first ones that I remember the media “experts” claiming that it wasn’t all his fault, he was molested as a child ...
I am sure that media creations happened before him, but that really got to me.
I also think that he got airtime before the McMartin preschool case, and I wondered then if the media was just trying to gin up a replacement for Lucas and Simpson.
May try to do a timeline if I have a moment today.
