Thread Name: Bob Brozman legal issues
Subject: RE: BS: Bob Brozman legal issues (NOT obit)
I just want to add a couple of things quickly.

Kudos to Michael for taking a positive approach re the legacy - that's what we need at this point.

As to how many victims and so on, my understanding is that those involved are trying to work out a comprehensive public statement and finding it tough going. For now, it's a little hard to piece things together but I think we can be very sure that questions about who was threatening legal action of what sort will become somewhat clearer.

Two victim families have identified themselves. I can confirm they are who they say they are, and again invite anyone to contact me directly through my website if you doubt my identity. So THAT much is certain, allegations were made by the Gary Atkinson and supported by Mary Christine. It appears there is also a third party as yet unidentified, and I think reasonable people can assume that the reason for anonymity is because of what the victim in that case is going through. I can't personally confirm this, but that seems to be what's going on.

The comparison to Saville is ONLY that that monster was never "proven guilty," and I really do doubt that any career of sex abuse so monumental as Sir Jimmy's is what we're talking about here. But again, Saville abused HUNDREDS of now-known cases. Rumors circulated, but no one ever dreamed of the extent. The absence of rumors, in other words, proves nothing.

Bob's dad was a very wealthy real-estate broker in NY, more than that I don't know. I don't see it as particularly pertinent but somehow the subject was broached and that much is certainly common knowledge. And by very wealthy I mean very wealthy.

Some people will never believe it and that's their choice. I have heard enough to convince me and then some, but I think I've done what I can with this and I'm going to have to leave it soon as I've got a little tour coming up.

To all those who have expressed support for my going public, I really thank you. I didn't aim to take the job on, but when people were ignoring me because I wasn't identifying myself, I felt there was no choice.

Peace, Duck Baker
