Not one charge... and yet now everyone assumes he was guilty because he was a bit odd. Fortunately, being a bit odd is still not against the law.

what evidence could they produce? did you expect them to have tape recorders or camera's watching him abuse them? what kind of evidence do you want from them??? you make it sound like these were fully grown adults. THEY WERE CHILDREN AT THE TIME! since when do we blame children for being abused? and since when do we expect children to be able to prove their abuse? don't you understand the INSIDEOUS nature of child abuse?

guess what, children arn't abused by people on camera, you can't expect children to be tape recording every second of the day to prove their abuse. This concept you have that it's not okay to tell the truth about being abused unless you have it all on camera or some kind of PROOF, how do you PROVE child abuse Livia???
