I can't see this guy living to see his 30th birthday. The trajectory he's set is headed for dying young.
And David, if the accuser were a woman, and even if she were 'of age', I'd wonder why a man in his 50's, who is involved in entertaining children, is having a fling with someone this young. It suggests a deficiency on both their parts.
You know why? When I deal with troubled youth and they do some really bad things and older adults take advantage of them because they know you teenager/young adult has no credibility.
The young legal adult is responsible for his behavior, and Kevin Clash is responsible for his.
"I like to consider myself a rare breed. I'm very spontaneous and random… I'm determined and goal oriented. My destiny is laid on a solid gold brick pathway....
Who says this thinking it's inspitring rather than pablum?

A deficiency is not a crime.
My beef is with the people who immediately assume criminal guilt when an accusation is made. Often the assumption is correct. But criminal justice is not a statistical exercise. Individual innocence is presumed. The guilt must be proved.
Went back to the thread in question. There's a few remarks about guilt, some disguised within jokes -- but most commenters raised questions about the age difference, etc.
Do you want a specific commenter to apologize to you?

Oh, that guy.
Now I've read the details of this affair. Forty-seven and eighteen?
I retract my "Poor Kevin Clash!"
Have you ever noticed that people who say "I'm the kind of person who..." almost never are?

Friends of Judy.
Sounds like this person has been poorly used by a number of people. Hope things get better for him.
