If a spate of recent allegations proves true, Hollywood may have a hideous epidemic on its hands. The past two weeks have brought three separate reports of alleged child sexual abuse in the entertainment industry.
Martin Weiss, a 47-year-old Hollywood manager who represented child actors, was charged in Los Angeles on Dec. 1 with sexually abusing a former client. His accuser, who was under 12 years old during the time of the alleged abuse, reported to authorities that Weiss told him "what they were doing was common practice in the entertainment industry." Weiss has pleaded not guilty.
On Nov. 21, Fernando Rivas, 59, an award-winning composer for Sesame Street, was arraigned on charges of coercing a child to engage in sexually explicit conduct in South Carolina. The Juilliard-trained composer was also charged with production and distribution of child pornography.
Registered sex offender Jason James Murphy, 35, worked as a casting agent in Hollywood for years before his past kidnapping and sexual abuse of a boy was revealed by the Los Angeles Times on Nov. 17. Murphys credits include placing young actors in kid-friendly fare like "Bad News Bears," "The School of Rock," "Cheaper by the Dozen 2 and the forthcoming "Three Stooges.

or grandmas that buy them for their granddaughters so said granddaughter can see what it was like when Grandma was 5.
Or like this mom who bought them when every single person told my daughter she looks “just like Shirley Temple”
We love watching her old movies.
I think the Shirley Temple movies are great for little girls.
That scores the greatest point about the movie. If it had been advertised as being about an early film maker, I wouldn’t have bothered.
Those old depression era movies seem more relevant the last few years too.

It looks as though pedophilia doesn't even need to be "decriminalized" to be of epidemic proportions. What needs to happen IMO is the death penalty for child molesters. Nothing else will stop them. And that means a huge change in laws, and how sentences are carried out (like not after 25 years on death row), and a giant replacement of judges and lawyers. I don't see an easy fix for this short of - well, a very serious social disruption. Those elites who are immoral worse-than-beasts will not give up their power easily. Nor those who are not active child molesters but cover for their fellows.
If only we let the hollyweirdos marry, this kind of tragedy could have been avoided!
[How was Melanie Griffith when he made that near porn film with Don Johnson the something experiment and had an affair with him, 16? maybe]
She was 14. He was 22.
14!
Good gawd, he should be a registered sex offender along with Steven Tyler IMO.
These slime buckets Hollywierd child molesters and their protectors need to be brought to justice. They have ruined our culture, targeting American children with moral corruption in every way possible. If they can't screw them in person, they are happy to screw them psychologically.

I love that you keep pointing out the fallacy of this criticism of the Catholic Church. Keep it up!
How many pedophiles have kept up sham marriages just to put forth an appearance of normalcy? Saying that marriage would solve pedophilia is like saying it would solve alcoholism; marriage won’t control those life situations where unholy urges meet opportunities.
A huge percentage of workers in children’s television are homo. Possibly a majority at Nickelodeon and Disney.
Coincidence?
Coincidence?
It also raises some questions about the GOP
That is exactly what I expect to see one of these days.

I think NOT!
Most movies and TV shows are (and have been for a long time) the vilest propaganda. Slowly inculcating the minds of watchers - especially the younguns - with the leftist/hedonist/atheist world view. Not all, but probably most. I quit watching TV decades ago and movies a couple or more decades ago, and even then any movies I watched were few and far between.
Every time I see Jerry Sandusky speak on the tube it gives me the creeps. That guy has not only a very creepy voice but his whole demeanor is creepy.
There will be a massive push to legalize it before that happens. The elite will protect their own, to the extreme.
