They were the punchline to this great joke:

Who wears six shoes and a bra?

Peter, Paul and Mary.

The domineering manager Albert Grossman put them together and demanded one (Noel Stookey) change his stage name to Paul to make a phony aura of Biblical figures.

Peter Yarrow of the group was convicted of child molestation. After being pardoned by Jimmy Carter he committed further crimes not uncovered for years.

“In the February 2021 lawsuit complaint in Manhattan Superior Court obtained by Fox News, Yarrow is accused of sexual abuse of a child, negligence, assault, battery, negligent infliction of emotional distress, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.”

“Barbara Winter was the 14-year-old girl who Yarrow admitted to molesting in 1969. He was convicted and served less than three months in jail for the crime, only for him to later be pardoned by Carter in 1981.
Her sister led a local fan club for the group and the 14 year old was invited alone into Yarrow’s hotel room.
Winter stated Yarrow made her masturbate him until he ejaculated.

Winter, speaking out about his pardon in an interview with the Washington Post this week, said it felt as if she “got sucker-punched in the gut.”

“It’s telling him, ‘It’s OK what you did, just don’t get caught next time,’ if that makes sense,” she continued.”
“It happened when I was just an innocent child. I didn’t know anything,” Winter now claims. “I was just a little girl that liked to play with her friends.”

She alleged Yarrow informed her “not to tell anybody” except a priest in confession. She says she was a Catholic at the time.

Yarrow pleaded guilty to taking “immoral and improper liberties” with a child. He was convicted to one to three years in prison but served just a little under three months.

“It breaks my heart to know that he was still doing it. It’s just horrible,” Winter said of the new accusations. “And I know what she’s going through. I do. And at least she had the courage to now come forward.”
