Reply #22: 7 counts of lewd/ lacivious acts WITH a child don't count for anything? [View All]

that's not a sex crime as far as you are concerned?
i admit i made up my mind before the charges came about, when i saw him on the couch giggling and holding hands with the little boy and talking about sleeping with him.
when the kid started in on his rap about who's to say who's a kid and who's an adult and what a kid should and shouldn't do.
yeah, when i saw that this kid had been manipulated to believe there should be no boundries between kids and adults, i guessed it was the adult sleeping with him that might have given him that screwed up idea, and that there was more going on.
if you saw it yourself, you might be pretty repulsed as well. so i have made it clear why i think the prosecution is not unreasonable, and my gut tells me he is guilty,
but i have no idea where or what your insistance of his innocence is based on except repeating that maybe he is. well, don't worry he will have his time in court, and he will be extremely difficult to prosecute --these cases always are (which is why they aren't bothering with sodomy, FYI-harder to prove), and becasue he is so famous and quite beloved still. it will be difficult to find a jury where someone doesn't love him, they will have to go way beyond a reasonable doubt. or have a hung jury. It freaks me out that people expect rock solid proof and they are kidding themselves that this is how it works. rapists and molesters don't often videotape themselves. often their are other adults around who will discredit the accuser and charges are never made because largely it can be a he said. they said thing. sex crimes are notoriously difficult to prosecute without DNA taken from a rape kit immediately after the act.
