3. "If he did do it on purpose he at most copped a feel and a very limited one at that being in that thick costume. Holy Cow! I can't believe you said that! Wrong is wrong. What if it was your relative?
4. "reguardless it is being compared to RAPE and MURDER, come on." Who used the word murder, besides you?
5. I agree that this is one lawsuit happy country, but again, wait till the truth comes out before you pass judgement on the accuser or the accused.
6. Actually I think it's on TV because it's Disney related not because some lawyer wants it on TV to help his nonexistent lawsuit. If it was the lawyers doing then that's all we would ever see on the news. :lol:

1. I was pointing out that the word "rape" has been used in this thread and I think that is WAY beyond this circumstance,A slap in the face to anyone who has ever been through the trauma of a rape.Call it what it is.
2.It didn't say "fondle over and over" If this guy is getting prosecuted for touching a woman's breast, every woman you ever hugged could sue you. There are different kinds of touching and although not very specific what kind is being prosecuted, I'm assuming it had to be fairly blatant to be considered sexual misconduct...in the view of dozens of people... nobody seeing ,saying or doing anything about it.
3.What if it was my relative? My point is at most it was a slight grope. Does that kind of crime merit worldwide attention,I'm not argueing right or wrong on the crime,I'm argueing how the crime is being publicized and Disney beaten up by the media again.My example is if it was Santa ot the easter bunny at your local mall,would it be on CNN. The media LOVES DRAMA, and any crime in a magical place where crime isn't supposed to exist is a headline. Disney tries verry hard to play down any incident involving them or their property. Many people who work for Disney have been busted for child molestation and other lude acts.(I'll IM you examples if you'd like-I hate posting that kind of stuff, it brings everybody down) This is an example of why "nobody dies on property" or did anyway, and disney investigations making information very difficult for news agencies to get. They protect the company against liability by downplaying as much as they can about any crimes.
4.The words rape and murder were used by Dr. Albert.This was the original post I repsonded to. Comparisons of apples to oranges is an elementary term I would use to explain his examples,nobody died or got raped. Therapy is often an issue with hose crimes but there is a difference between feeling awkward and uncomfortable and being emotionally scarred.
5.I pass judgement beacause of the facts,
a.Not immediately reported by EITHER victims.
b.No witnesses came foward at the time of the incident.
c.Dozens of people around watching with no redflags from anyone.
d.A week until Disney is contacted and even told of any incident, plenty of time to talk to a lawyer and him say the magic word.MONEY.
e.High profile with national coverage,screams attorney.
f.Criminal charges filed now, is often a setup for a higher payoff settlement when they file a civil case.
6. You have heard about this case,if it was handled between the family and Disney you would have never even known anything happened, if the guy was arrested he would have been booked,bailed and released.Just another pending criminal case.BUT NO, It was in the papers and reported because I feel the lawyer representing the family leaked the story to the media and spread it around.Disney is lowkey,defense attorneys are high profile. The more people read the headline the more drama it creates and soon Disney just wants to shut everybody up and how does that happen...a settlement.
These are my feelings, I'm not asking anyone to side with me I'm just fed up with big corporations being the targets for frivilous lawsuits. When settlements are paid that money comes from us, the people who pay for Disney products and visit the parks. Prices are high enough...and don't even get me started about fraudulent Workmans Comp, and bogus insurance claims!I said it before Suemerica.I've been in court 3 times in 5 years,I've always won.
