To me, the people--large and small, powerwise--who cover for these assholes are JUST as bad. But everybody wants to be an insider (however insignificant) in one of the most-coveted professions on the planet--working in any capacity in Hollywood. Once achieved, nobody wants to endanger that kind of a coup, even if you're just a lowly PA or studio janitor.
Somehow I doubt there's a big hush-hush pedo ring operating in the US electrician industry or the united accountants of America (though at least they have access to other people's money, lol.) Because who gives a shit.
(I can't believe people truly don't think pedos network just like everyone else, though. If a pedo tells you sanctimoniously that he's not allowed to get online, you can bet he's got a smartphone or a tablet somewhere, probably in someone else's name, often an enabling family member or idiot gf. And watching them network face-to-face is mighty interesting. They always think nobody is listening, too. Even in a police station lobby! JFC.)
Also, I don't buy the line that wanting money as compensation for your suffering invalidates the moral purity of wanting retribution. Bull fucking shit. If some creep molested me you bet I'd want his money. If nothing else it would pay for my therapy. And it might help make up for the time taken forever from my life to recover from being violated, instead of being normal and happy.
I mean hey, I'd also want his bloody severed head on a platter, but failing that, sure, I'll take a payout. Hopefully enough to ruin him.
There are enough rumors about this guy that I could never see him as some poor baby flower being cruelly victimized by an evil cabal of cash-hungry former teenage wanna-be movie stars. Throw a suit like this against someone like Gary Sinese or even Johnny Depp and see how different it looks and feels. (And it's sad how it took me a few moments to think of a couple of male Hollywood stars who seem like generally okay people--even if Depp has always been a bit crazy/druggy/unwashed/whatever.)
It will be interesting who else is implicated down the line, if only to see if it's anybody who's been discussed here before.
