Which may not be the case, that's just the way it's coming off to me. I just don't see any way in which this could possibly be spinned as a conspiracy theory, or any other dumb shit like that. There's just too many people involved, too many victims, too many witnesses, too long of a period of time, for there to be any coincidence. This guy just screams full fledged predator.



Seriously. Like I said just way too much overwhelming evidence and witnesses for me to believe he's innocent at all. Am I falling into the trap of people who think along the lines of "guilty before proven innocent?" Yes, but this is one case where there's not much doubt. He's got no credibility. And I think he's taking all this the entirely wrong way. It sounds like he's trying to make us believe that he just likes to shower with young boys yet nothing sexual happened. And I feel like only a pedophile would try that defense. Minimizing the damage in a case like this doesn't work. I honestly can't believe he's using the,"Whoa I like to shower with young boys, doesn't mean I'm a perv though" defense.

Yeah, we shouldn't presume guilt. But as you indicate, he's not doing much to convince people that he is innocent. If there really were some kind of terrible misunderstanding, his defense would be different.
