I believe California is considering lifting the statute of limitations for all sexual crimes. Some women who have come out with accusations against Cosby have been lobbying pretty heavily, for obvious reasons.
That’s over-complicating it.
Feldman has known for years who it was. The fact he hasn’t told the cops who it was or who the people who abused him where, should tell you this is not prosecutable and would be libelous. Nobody’s going to name anybody without solid proof they can show that would get them out of a libel suit.
Some states have no statute of limitations on rape. I’m assuming California isn’t one of them?
It could be they report this as a teaser so that they get credit for the scoop, knowing the cops will contact them when they publish it, and this gives them some control over the story when the police department leaks like a sieve.
It’s really not as easy as calling the cops. As far as child sex rings, human trafficking and white slavery are concerned, the people involved usually are untouchable. Powerful politicians, wealthy business men, not just celebrities. It’s actually pretty terrifying. More than the war on drugs, people need to focus on…
That’s what drives me nuts about these things.
Statute of limitations has long passed, so unfortunately anyone abused in the 80s would be unable to pursue criminal charges now. A civil lawsuit, however, is a definite possibility.
Look, obviously I want to learn the identity of the A-list celebrity pedophile before anyone else. Indeed, this is basically my right as a voracious online tabloid reader.
I thought this too, but now I wonder if this is a hint ... that Radar knows the abuser to be a closeted gay.
Travolta and Douglas come to mind as seeming family men who’d be considered a list and have had rumors swirl about their conduct.
If it was from back when Haim was a teenager that was way before singer had any power to create his parties. Has to be someone older.
“The closeted perv has never come out as gay”
Because he very well may not be; being a child predator /= gay. Abusive sex is about power, not identity.
