Dear God, this thread causes me so much pain. I cannot believe this is being circulated like wildfire, and that so many people are saying that the world should just take their word as fact, with no real evidence offered.   I am grateful to see the posts from people suggesting calm scrutiny, and a request for a measured response based on proof.

I hate contributing to gossip, but since so many of you are quick to condemn any accusation involving a child, and are taking unsubstantiated claims as facts I feel that I must offer some perspective on the principal players. - Mary Christine, the ex wife, has long been a pitiable character ...exactly because she is willing to put her daughter through something like this. I'm sorry to report that she has a decades long personal history of volatility, paranoia, triangulation, and vindictiveness.   She may well have convinced herself that her story is true, and been able to convince others, but I can testify that she can also be someone disconnected from reality.   I have personally seen her make false accusations in the past.   How heartbreaking would it be if Brozman killed himself because of a false accusation that he knew would forever ruin his reputation. I hate to say this about any person, but given her publishing these rumors on the heels of Brozman's suicide., I feel this truth must also be told.

This is dangerous territory, folks. Tread lightly, and keep your eyes open as the story unfolds. There is a reason the law says beyond a reasonable doubt.
