Why doesn’t Trump care about child victims of sex trafficking???

One of the first things DOGE cut was training and technical assistance and he targeted lawyers, courts, and the rule of law. In short: it’s so much worse (and far reaching) than this article suggests…most people just don’t realize it yet.

More background on the folks involved.

Another update on folks involved, seemingly suggesting that the detective misrepresented the statement one of the only witnesses to support the prosecution’s case:

This case is taking on a tremendous amount of water, and from all sides.

An example of deliberately misleading article. The cleaning lady says her words were taken out of context, but never does it state what context they should be taken in. The article alludes that her answers were somehow falsified or manipulated, but never states how, when, where, or why it was done. It alludes to the sheriff's department, but never comes out and says so.
Exactly what her statements were supposed to mean, is never stated. Fragments of quotes are used, followed by the writer's interpretation with no source and no citation of actual fact. But by combing the quotes within close proximity of inuendo, you create a connection in the reader's mind. We can't help but make that connection, it is hardwired into us.

Due process should run its course, obviously. Why is that even a question? Are you under the mistaken impression that due process results in a gag order to prevent the discussion of information that you find may find inconvenient.

In the meantime, a discussion of the ebbs and flows of related information will continue to take place in many forums, including this one. Seems fair that the dirty laundry of serial fraudsters like the parents in this case should be on the table, particular in light of the rush to judgement that occurred based on the claims of those same parents.

I want to know why Busfield was handsy with kids on set given a no touching rule. He has a history of being handsy with other women, doesn’t he?

I’m absolutely fine with discussion when it’s actually a discussion. But it’s clear you are working way too hard on behalf of someone you don’t know, which makes me think think maybe you actually do know him? Throwing around “myopic shrew,” “where on the doll did Tim touch you,” “your marriage has a shelf life of 6-9 months. Bank on it” and “Holy misandry Batman” makes it difficult to have any discussions because we can all see we aren’t dealing with a rational person here.

I’ll leave it to the courts at this point. I still remain disturbed by his past and the current allegations.

Wow, they don't sound like the litigious type at ALL.

Timothy Busfield actually seems like a solid citizen from what I’ve read about him. However, the stage parents behind this obvious revenge and extortion campaign? If/when they are held liable, it’s going to be difficult to conceive of a sentence that’s too excessive. LWOP? Doesn’t feel adequate.

Free Timothee Busfield!

A solid citizen with several allegations from underage women…lol ok.

Thank you, Jeff, for cleaning up the thread! Just read through it and all the crazy posts have been removed! Yeah!!! We can finally go back to having a discussion.

FYI, I’m the one who reported it to Jeff and asked him to go through it. I highlighted several of the posts such as, “your marriage has a shelf life of 6-9 months. Bank on it,” “where on the doll did Tim touch you?, “myopic shrews,” “Holy misandry Batman,” and more. Jeff saw right through that poster and deleted all of their inflammatory posts.

As a side note, none of my posts were removed, except for the ones cataloguing the insults.

These parents are a piece of work. Also suing the landlord because the father fell out of his chair. These people really want a big pay day.

There is ONE allegation concerning an underage girl, with corroborating witness account asserting that her father was essentially attempting to prostitute her in an effort to get his script purchased for production by Busfield’s studio connections.
