Thread Name: Bob Brozman legal issues
Subject: RE: Bob Brozman legal issues (NOT obit)
Suzy Thompson here. Although I can see the value in having an online place for people to express their grief and disbelief, and to vent about their feelings, I am thinking that perhaps it is time to let the survivors deal with the situation, whether that means legally, spiritually or in some other way. No doubt about it, Bob was a great player of music but a horribly flawed human being.
For those wondering why those who had gotten wind of the pedophile accusations earlier didn't speak up, speaking only for myself, it was to respect the privacy of the victimised. As others posting here have already said very clearly, taking legal action on child molestation charges can be very very tricky, and can easily harm the victim more than the perpetrator. I have no idea what, if any, legal action is underway right now, and frankly, since the (alleged) perpetrator is dead, there's no real reason why those of us not actually personally involved should have to be in the loop. A dead person can't commit any more crimes.
