I'm sure he molested kids in those cases where parents were paid off.
I'm not convinced he molested those he went to trial about. because that didn't get him a conviction and yes, the trial info is public.
he got away with a lot more than a regular person would; but hell, we've got almost every single big musician out there raping girls- there's not the sort of huge public clusterfuck around it, with very few exceptions, as there is about this.
Polanski. fucking Woody Allen! Jimmy Page, David Bowie, Prince, R Kelley, and on and on. name a rock star, there's a victim. hell, name a millionaire, and there's ten. we elected a guy president who's been avoiding a child rape trial with legal jousting for decades!
this is the fabric of fame. why THIS case, of all cases, becomes so much more important boggles me. is it because there's male victims? for what it's worth, I believe Feldman. where's his documentary?
is it because he won in court/no justice for these kids? I could tell you a hundred stories... but they'd all involve little girls, not boys.
I mean the documentary is indeed really sappy. it's filmed in that really emotional sort of way.
if you've seen "just Melvin, just evil" you've seen a really strong, dry, convincing approach to a subject similar to this. but this particular documentary is a heartstring show except for the receipts. the evidence isn't strong but what there is, is very convincing.
how many people watched "the jinx" and were convinced he didn't do it until the end? how many people have watched "making a murderer" and think he's innocent (hint: court transcripts aren't as moving emotionally, but are more convincing when it comes to his guilt)
I don't think I have strong feelings on this apart from the fact that I am beginning to dislike emotional documentaries, that I believe the one dude on this one, and that all celebrities and influential people take advantage of poor or vulnerable youth.
