public figures and people with money are often targets of false accusations by children who are coercedor coaxed by greedy adults

its a shame for both the child and the adult life that gets ruined when it happens, but its still not as tragic as a child actually being assaulted

I doubt job descriptions matter when it comes to sick people, but I still hope it isnt true

what it is, is another example of the tipical gossip that passes as journalism today...no facts, nothing specific..basically NO STORY..just some guy gets arrested accused of molesting a child...

thats all it takes to call yourself a journalist and get printed in the papers...??

When a little blurb like this one is written, I think to myself "Ok. Get more info, facts, etc and then tell me the whole story". Thing is, there is always much more to what is actually printed, and while journalists love to sensationalize a story, all this is is a blurb. Nothin more, nothing less.

Sad thing is that people will read that and will be outraged by believing the story, or outraged at how ludicrous it is to print something like that with no facts.
