Hi, this is Roberta Glass, and today we're going to be talking about,

wait, wait, don't tell me who's the child abuser at NPR.

So I got a really great comment on my nexium video about another case that happened in the early

2000s, and I'll start out this recording by reading it. Thanks for making this a safe space

to discuss things in the news, especially of this nature, which is very uncomfortable.

I liked someone I found out through another commentator on a podcast that interview celebrities.

He was commenting that a female celebrity being interviewed was not properly punished

for the crimes with children, and a guy would have had the book thrown at him.

I asked if it was true.

If this female star had been arrested for a lewd act on a child,

or if it was malicious gossip, I had been a fan,

and I heard she was saying it was due to her alcohol problem.

Then I got attacked viciously.

So I reluctantly looked up the details of the case. I looked at several articles reading carefully. She was convicted of lewd acts on a minor

under 14. Lude acts are defined as when an adult tries to get a child to sexually arouse them or vice versa.

It is a serious charge.

People do not understand what a lewd act is.

She would have gotten 13 years and four months, but her lawyer copped a plea.

She lost her ability to foster a child. The girls and other kids were returned.

She got back her originally adopted children after she did what the court asked of her,

which was therapy and addiction counseling. I was attacked by two men called an idiot.

I was told to use my critical thinking.
