Thanks, bestill. Sister E has also said in a subsequent interview that the abuse, while done by a close family member, was *not* perpetrated by their parents, though they were instructed to keep quiet about it. (Not excusing this behavior, simply clarifying what we've been told so that rumor is not taken for fact at this stage.) If you were to read the obituary she wrote for her dad, as well as other comments she's written, it's clear she felt very close to him and admired him greatly. So it would probably grieve her as a family member to read people's comments implying that he had done so when she has stated, in fact, that he did not.
The other thing I've been mulling over--and please correct me if I'm wrong, I may have missed something. But I thought I read that there is "1 count" of lewd behavior that DT is charged with, that happened sometime during the span of a year in regards to one of their daughters. From what I've read, DT has not (yet) been charged with periodically or daily perpetuating those lewd acts upon his children "for a year." (Though we might feel logically inclined to make that conclusion.) So, while there may well be more instances and more charges coming...right now, that's where that charge stands (unless I missed a press release this morning). It's still reprehensible, all if it. It's a horrible case. But JMO, it doesn't diminish things at all to keep the facts in the forefront of the discussion, especially as there are new people coming into the threads who haven't caught up, yet.
JMO...
