Child rape is a horrible thing. I have personal experience with this from my own childhood. You don’t know what you are dealing with here. There are many innocent people who don’t see it because the pedophile is very sneaky, very clever and uses his/her power to conceal. You really should go away now and not post to me. You have no idea what you are speaking of, this crime destroys the innocent more than the guilty.

"...this crime destroys the innocent more than the guilty."

Which is why I've been arguing that those who enable, give a tacit nod to, or fail to intercede are every bit as morally culpable as the rapist...even if they are not legally culpable.

For some reason you've been arguing against that point all night.

Because it is allowed to continue.

That is exactly what happened here. The sneaky, clever pervert used his power (connections) at Penn State to cover up his crime. Those connections in this case should pay for cooperating in the cover up in their work place. Many more boys were abused because they let the pervert manipulate and dominate them. It was easier to ignore the suffering of children.

I am sorry you suffered child abuse. Some men in my extended family were raped when they were boys, too. The truth did not come out until they were adults and all screwed up. It happened in the boy scouts and the pervs want back in there bad. I’m sure you have heard the manipulative and clever ones shouting about the Boy Scouts’ “homophobia.” They had quite a National operation going in the boy scouts before they were busted up in the 80’s.
