No. In my opinion they were just spouting off, saying whatever sounded good, regardless of whether there was any rational basis for their statements.

Usually a molestor or the people who are sympathetic toward them use the 'relative molested them' story as a last explanation. In most cases, the accused relative is deceased, so no one can truly dispute their claim. I'm sure that in many cases, this has happened. But too often, the molestor says that since it happened to them by a trusted relative, then they were unable to stop and reason that what they were doing was harmful and illegal. I don't buy any of that. They know it's wrong and they know it's harmful. They know they can stop doing it as well.

I agree. No excuse for it.

Kind of like Michael Jackson, blaming his issues on his dad.

Ok?!!  How long do they go without admitting they might have been wrong?

They are likely waiting for their marching orders from their cult leader. They will parrot whatever explanation Danny comes up with and be consistent with that.

Tommy is the oldest of five.  Four boys and one girl.  The girl is the youngest, being several years younger than the youngest boy (Danny).

If he only serves 1% of his sentence, he'll be eligible for parole in only 60.6 years.

Tommy is in my thoughts and prayers. I trust that his experience will make life safer for some children.

Does anyone here know where Tommy is right now, and if it is possible to send him a message?

Just because some people were devoid of compassion towards Linda does not mean we should have similar feelings towards Tommy. The spirit of Christ tells us to hate sin while we love the sinner.
