I was going to just let this ride, but I had to come back to it. Pedophiles do not walk around with a big "P" stitched on their clothing. My grandfather was an "upstanding citizen" who sang in the choir, taught Sunday school, held a government job and was married to the same woman all his adult life. Pretty decent all-round good guy, right? A man with morals who would never assault or abuse a six-year-old, right? WRONG. He molested my mother for years and had her so caught up in the molester/victim mindset that when my sister and I got to an age where my mother figured he would start trying to molest us, she could only vaguely hint at warnings to us...worded in such a way that young girls would have no clue what she was talking about. Had she ever gone to my grandmother about the molestation, grandmother would have thought she was crazy, grandmother thought my grandfather was perfect.
SO my sister and I get to the "ripe" age, and yep, he molested the both of us as well. And we were adults before we could even share that information with each other, because we'd been told all our lives that grandpa was perfect...so anything a "perfect" man did to us was aokay, right?
The mental games, the guilt and the shame took my brilliant mother to the point of insanity and when faced with the knowledge that she was going to have to go back home and live with her mother and father, she chose to kill herself. She left a note detailing the abuse...a note which my grandmother found, deemed "insane" and destroyed. She never told anyone about the note until I was 32 years old, and then she did so only because she let it slip. To the day she died she refused to believe her perfect husband would do such to anyone. But he did.
So tell me again your list of people who would molest a six-year-old girl? Pedophiles come in all shapes and sizes, and there is nothing I've heard or read about JR that would rule him out as a pedophile. But there is much about what I've heard and seen of him that makes my creep factor alarm go off like crazy.
I do sympathize, believe me.
To provide a rebuttal, I would read your very own post. Here you are discussing your pedophile relative openly in public. Shocking testimony to say the least. Now then, where is that kind of testimony in JBR's case from either before or after the murder? As I said, murdering pedophiles don't just come out of nowhere, do their deed, and then 'get better' like RDI wants us to believe. Your creep factor alarm is perhaps going off falsely, because there's no indication from anyone that anybody in the current pool is a pedophile. JMK was as close as it got.
