One commentator noted that the defense for almost all celebrity crimes is that the accuser is in it only for money. Following that reasoning, no wealthy or famous person is ever guilty. Yet, many in the media (especially the media, but others too) often spout just that--"oh, this mother's just after his money." In this case, the guy has said, on videotape shown all over the world, that he likes to sleep with young boys. Alas, it seems many mothers allow him to do just that.
Judging by the run of celebrity trials we've seen over the past decade or so, the wealthy or famous can do just about anything except lie to the feds. Martha Stewart did that and wound up in the slammer. What a screwed up society we have these days.
