Well, now there are reports that he claimed to have drugged the girl, but there is a problem: tests on her body revealed that she had not been drugged....
I suspect that we may have a nut who just wants attention.
If I had a basement, I check it at least once a day to see if I had left a kid in it.

Almost every woman in that picture is over 30....
The first 2 are my youngest ever, and they are 20 and 21 respectively...
I'm 49 BTW...
You'll find that most Raks instructors have VERY and I mean VERY strong opinions about age appropriate dress, and many won't even teach girls under 12....
I do, but very folk and only folk.
I would be just as angry if someone stuck a 6 year old in a bedlah as I would a at JB being made up and dressed in an adultish evening gown.
So no, I'm not kidding, if anything, I know that girls get sexualized pretty damn quickly, so let them be little girls until the last possible second.
I believe in little girls being little girls.
LOL!
You clearly no nothing of Belly Dance.
It IS American mostly,
Came straight Sol Bloom and the worlds fair,
Isadora Duncan, Oscar Wilde, silent movies and Theda Bara....not to mention victorian soft porn.
WE invented the silly jewel in the belly button, floor work,
veil dancing, the stupid "Harem girl" fantasy...
Yada yada yada. The sleazy sex part WE added in
vaudeville and burlesque etc
I teach true Raks Sharki (Dance Oriental) and it is far
less sexual than most of the crap you see on stage in 'jazz' or hip hop dances. It is a woman's dance done in family enclaves and often to accompany a woman during childbirth. If anything, it's the ultimate female only dance form.
I will tell you this,
Our moves are LESS sexual than the pevlic drops, locks and boob shakes that I have seen at dance recitals and by cheerleaders. I teach my girls that 'Good girls' dance with their feet together...always. Unlike what I was taught in jazz, modern etc. The crudest dance I was ever taught was a Bob Fosse number. Ballet? Don't get me stared on own skimpy and revealing THOSE costumes are.
We are more covered than most cheerleaders I've seen lately.
We've danced at churches, nursing homes, community groups etc. We dance a combination of Classic Egyptian, Tunisian, Gitana, Tzigane' etc etc, some of these dances date back for centuries... and yes, good old American Caberet and the newer child American Tribal.
One of my students is a minister's wife who's gone on to teach her women's group at church. And yes, we've all danced for our kids, families etc.... and most dancers with daughters are continuing the centuries old tradition of mother teaching daughter and the female bond.
BTW, the term "American" moves in this dance is a synoymous with saying the move is sexual and sleazy.
And I teach my students not to do them.
And you tell me that is not sexual? Lets move on..I am..
It tells me a lot about you....
JB looks like a slut in red lipstick and teased hair.
This child is just dancing.
True, I'm not familiar with recital attire, but it looked pretty creepy to me.
Probably if you were wearing it..
True, last time I dressed like that, I was pretty drunk and...oh, never mind.
