NYT silent on shocking Hollywood pedophilia charges
Hot Air ^ | 12-12-11 | Tina Korbe

Apparently, pedophilia is an entrenched part of Hollywood culture — but you wouldn’t know that if you only consulted The New York Times for news. Check out this Fox News account of just some of the muck that underlies Hollywood’s glamorous gilding:

If a spate of recent allegations proves true, Hollywood may have a hideous epidemic on its hands. The past two weeks have brought three separate reports of alleged child sexual abuse in the entertainment industry.

Martin Weiss, a 47-year-old Hollywood manager who represented child actors, was charged in Los Angeles on Dec. 1 with sexually abusing a former client. His accuser, who was under 12 years old during the time of the alleged abuse, reported to authorities that Weiss told him “what they were doing was common practice in the entertainment industry.” Weiss has pleaded not guilty.

On Nov. 21, Fernando Rivas, 59, an award-winning composer for “Sesame Street,” was arraigned on charges of coercing a child “to engage in sexually explicit conduct” in South Carolina. The Juilliard-trained composer was also charged with production and distribution of child pornography.

Registered sex offender Jason James Murphy, 35, worked as a casting agent in Hollywood for years before his past kidnapping and sexual abuse of a boy was revealed by the Los Angeles Times on Nov. 17. Murphy’s credits include placing young actors in kid-friendly fare like “Bad News Bears,” “The School of Rock,” “Cheaper by the Dozen 2” and the forthcoming “Three Stooges.”

Sad, disgusting, and yet another example of the collusion of the Left to propagate and protect evil.

Can there be any doubt that this corruption extends from the liberal media to all levels of government? The liberal elitist Ruling Class cannot rub elbows with the Hollywood elitists and Medial elitists without being aware, or participating in a conspiracy of silence.

If this turns out to be true, let's hope for the victims sake that it blows up in time to provide information to voters next year, before any of those who should have been leading the charge against these crimes are returned to office.

Of course it is...How many disgusting TV shows/Movies sexuailze little girls and tell them they need to dress and act like adults. Once they get the Gay Marriage fully legalized they will start trying to legalize pedo’s. Sometimes I think we should fence in NY and LA/San Fran like in the Kurt Russell Escape from NY/LA movies! LOL

Actually, in all fairness, I don’t think there is a single thing that anyone in Hollywood could say right now that would not get them in deep trouble.

If they were molested, they should contact the police. This is happening around the US right now by former students who were molested by sports coaches, because of the Sandusky event. But it carries with it a risk that they could be identified, and have the spotlight shown on them.

If those in Hollywood are in support of those who were molested, they had better shut up, because the molesters are probably still around and are ruthless enough to shut them up, to protect themselves.

And of those in Hollywood who support molesters open their mouths, they will be nuked, and they know it.

So I’m not surprised with “no comment”.

What's the big deal? The NY Slimes has a long and disgusting history of ignoring or even shamelessly hiding truly disgusting events. To this day, they won't even disavow the stories by Walter Durante whose stories in the Slimes could best be described as propagandized fiction where he and the Slimes knew that Stalin was systematically starving tens of millions of people, but it didn't fit with their political agenda.

Heck, this is SOP for the Slimes.

It's not surprising considering how the adults have behaved sexually for a long time, basically from Hollywood's founding.

These kids have it even worse than regular kids. Most hope to keep working and even make it as an adult actor. Blowing the whistle would effectively blackball them. The pervs wouldn't let them work any more. Basically, they're trapped.

Not surprised in the least. Roman Polanski is another one who likes them young.

Or any of the "bat-s**t crazy," drug addled former child stars who have gone off the deep end, like Michael Jackson, Brittney Spears, Lindsey Lohan, Corey Haim and Corey Feldman (he's one of the former child stars who have blown the whistle on this), the entire child cast of "Different Strokes," etc...

Irrational, self destructive "acting out" is a well known symptom of sexual abuse of children. Everyone just blames it on bad parenting and too much money.

Macaulay Culkin testified at Michael Jackson’s trial that Jackson had never molested him. However, when Jackson died, Culkin had no comment.

Couple years ago wife and I watched a new movie MC starred in, one of the most depraved movies ever, couldn’t even watch it, then, the other night, tried to watch another one with his little brother in it with Sarandon, and it was also bad but not quite as bad as MC’s.

This would certainly explain why so many child stars have so many problems. It used to be written off by simply saying they were too young to handle the fame, but molestation makes a lot more sense.
