After an uproar began, Grisham issued an apology.
“Anyone who harms a child for profit or pleasure, or who in any way participates in child pornography — online or otherwise — should be punished to the fullest extent of the law,” the author said in a statement. “My comments made two days ago during an interview with the British newspaper The Telegraph were in no way intended to show sympathy for those convicted of sex crimes, especially the sexual molestation of children. I can think of nothing more despicable. I regret having made these comments, and apologize to all.”
Looks like his publisher might have had a word with him.
A little late for that apology. I read what he said. His comments were, and he is, despicable.
Grisham is full of it. We read the actually comment. He’s too late. His words are an empty apology.
