    I’m all for stringing pedos up by the nearest available body part but this accusation doesn’t easily pass a smell test on a number of levels, not least the behavior of the parents, both on the set and ongoing.

    Also, aside from the accusation itself, this is the same Santa Fe district attorney’s office that prosecuted Alec Baldwin, the one that withheld exculpatory evidence and got his case dismissed, which is the part that everyone knows about because at least the judge was honest. But even before that end there were any number of “irregularities” in the prosecution, not least the number of prosecutors who just flatly quit before they found the one who didn’t, but withheld evidence in her bid to secure his conviction.

    So if he’s guilty, string him up. But for the sake of kids who really are being abused and also the occasional accused that really are innocent, I genuinely hope this isn’t just a shakedown.
