I have no reason NOT to believe the allegations that have been made so far - except that I tend not to believe anything I read first on the internet. I'm still hoping that a reputable news organization will cover this story soon.

The other thing that bothers me about this issue is that so many of the most passionate posters choose to remain anonymous - so as far as I know I have no history with these folks. Why remain anonymous - is it really that difficult to come down on one side or the other concerning child abuse? So even though there is a good chance that this information is true - the "jury" is still out as far as I'm concerned.
