In those days, this was just not talked about. Literally. No one could or would say anything even hinting that such incidents, or even rumors of accusations of such incidents, even existed.

Thanks for sharing this, I've read several articles about Bradley's abuse (including one by her daughter), but I was a kid back in the '70s and '80s. Were there rumors or reports or even police charges against Bradley back then?

I'm much more familiar with R. Kelly's ongoing abuses and his ability to evade punishment for a few reasons - it was impossible not to hear R. Kelly's songs during my teens and twenties (and some of them were very good), he's faced legal charges several times, and his crimes and behavior have gotten massive amounts of attention.

And yet, this pervert is still free - it's only now, decades after some of his most well-known and documented acts of pedophilia and child pornography, that he's finally receiving some measure of public shaming over them.

“Where there rumors or reports or even police charges against Bradley back then?”

Absolutely not. And she was well known (and well liked), and very active in the Fannish community and its offshoots. Some body had to have seen or heard something, but nobody . said . a . word.
