How is this episode like Terry Richardson? Last time I checked Richardson had never been accused of molesting kids, just models.

Adding my voice to those that say stop with connecting his physical appearance (or "creepiness") with his alleged crimes.

The Fact that it is coming from a successful established writer who has access to skilled attorneys should be enough to suggest that there may be something there. Its not like shes some hack in basement claiming that hes owed movie becuase he wrote some short story that happened in space or something. A lot of people…

The complaint alleges infractions based on additional material which was not in the book but provided to the studio as part of the same licensing deal.

From the complaint, it appears that the author also provided additional material to the studio which was more similar to the final movie but not in the original book:

Tess Gerritsen is an extraordinary woman, a trained surgeon and international bestseller. In person she is quiet, self-contained and gentle, as well as self-deprecating and funny.

Oh for fuck's sake. Comments like this should be deleted. Google something for yourself instead of being ~so proud you don't know celebrity culture.
