[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Terry Bean was never convicted of anything - the judge dismissed the case. [/quote]

You could provide details:

[quote]EUGENE - Prominent gay activist Terry Bean no longer faces sex abuse charges because the alleged victim in the case failed to show, but also because of Bean's $225,000 offer to settle the case, prosecutors say.

. . .

Prosecutors could offer the teenager only $5 a day as a witness fee to testify against Bean - along with "the chance to talk about embarrassing details from his past ... in front of a group of strangers," Hasselman said.

"Mr. Bean offered him over $200,000 to civilly compromise this case," Hasselman said. "Now if you're this child and you have the choice between embarrassment and $5 a day and over $200,000 ... it seems to me that would be a highly influential factor in deciding what you're going to do."
