Interesting post, Johann.

How does one determine the difference here and elsewhere between fact and speculation?

Although Duane, if much of the family knew of the problem 25 years ago and more is it possible that lots of pain, confusion and misery could have been avoided had they done the right thing back then? Perhaps the two boys who have filed in Virginia would never have been in a position to file had something been done long before that? Is it possible that lives that have been badly altered or destroyed could have been normal if they had either done something or allowed the process to take place without interferance?
Oh, I agree. I'm talking about the suggestion that Tommy may have been abused by his father. I think that's unfair.

Who has Tommy claimed abused him?

Ok, yes. I agree.

To be honest, whether or not he pleads guilty isn't going to fix the mess that he has caused.  What TS needs to do is turn from his wicked ways and find GOD.  I honestly believe that TS has been blessed by God, with many gifts.  However, he took advantage of the abilities God gave him.

Tommy needs to pay for his actions.  Any man of God, who uses the pulpit as a crutch to hurt children, in my opinion is not a man of God, nor a Christian.
