I have to admit that I was not only a jerk in my youth but I also enjoyed the song "You Light Up My Life" lol. I've always known that their was a directors couch within the movie and music industry but "Damn" 91 counts of rape and sexual abuse. I remember hearing that Steve Sequel even had to settle out of court due to messing around like that. Hmm

The composer of the song can sing sing along when in prison doing time.

And I hope he gets life... Or more...

Thanks "Hunka", I just pull a cold one for ya right out of the fridge. By the way thanks for the other comment on the Picture taking thread, I had to do a fullow up and it was nice to see that some good did come of the story getting out. I think?

Uh how about innocent until proven guilty anyone?

Doesn't the freaking rule of law count for anything anymore or are people that are accused of a crime automatically guilty before having to prove their own innocence?

Can we at least wait for the verdict to come in before sharpening our pitchforks and lighting our torches?
