Thread Name: Peter Yarrow me-too'ed out of concert?
Subject: RE: Peter Yarrow me-too'ed out of concert?
jeri seems to have vacated this thread but I'll answer the questions she put to me-
Yes I know the difference between "flashing somebody" (a term that only you seem to use to describe Yarrow's admitted crime) and rape (something I never accused him of) but you don't seem to know the difference between "flashing somebody" and attempting to have sex with someone below the age of consent.
According to an article in the NY Post- "Yarrow served three months of a one- to three-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to taking “indecent liberties’’ with the girl." It would appear he got much more than a 3 month sentence and did more than just display his weiner, which is a scenario that you seem to be clinging to, as well as parroting his "everybody was doing it back then" defense which is no defense at all.

I have nothing against Yarrow, I admire him for his social and political activism but to me when you commit a sex crime against a minor you pretty much relinquish the benefit of the doubt. If I had a young daughter I wouldn't want him anywhere near her, then or now.
