About this. I truly don't get that. I don't think he is lying about it but who knows?
Settlement money?
And if the part about Bernie demanding the money he was owed in 2001 is true, then maybe that hurt him to the point where he wants some kind of sick revenge.

My question is this: if this supposedly happened until this person is 27, how does one allow this to continue?

Those are my thoughts. Molestation seems odd to describe actions against a 27 yr old.I suppose there are any number of reasons, but why do they keep saying he was molested until he was 27?
IF something was still going on, either it was consentual or it was sexual assault. It wasn't molestation after a certain age.

If Fine was a true pedophile, he would have lost interest after the acuser hit puberty.
You guys don't think this is about money? Really? That's not motivation enough for some people? Get your head's out of the sand. This isn't about a criminal prosecution for these guys, it's about a huge settlement down the road. And whether or not you think SU would capitulate, many companies do without regard to criminality. Many times it's cheaper to settle than to fight. And furthermore, it doesn't even take a criminal prosecution to get a civil prosecution as we've learned from the OJ case. The standard for "beyond a reasonable doubt" is MUCH less in a civil suit than a criminal trial. They just need one small avenue or inconsistency given by the university to attack it civily.
But he said there were other boys, lots of them, and named names. Those people all denied his story, however. So now years later, his step brother has come forward. Is he telling the truth? Was he interviewed previously? Had he ever previously denied anything?
That's where I have to take a step back and ask "what is really going on here?"

Not everyone is as, um, rational and clear headed as you.
Lol. I think he was being sarcastic. Hence the "um".The craziest thing in this whole story is someone saying Barrel is rational and clear headed.
