I have been MUDDing off and on for ten years. I have yet to find other
mormons who are also mudders. Are you out there?

Something IS gained by reporting such offenses to the authorities, in
particular to the police. That way the person may be prosecuted, and
prevented from committing such crimes in the future. Bad things happen,
sure, but why not reduce them as much as possible?

so, I used to play Medievia for a while, but lost interest in it. I do alot

I sometimes feel the lone skeptic when it comes to these suddenly
remembered/voiced tales of molestation. I cannot say that Marie was
not molested, but until the time and the place is determined and
somehow the man confesses - or there is other corroborating evidence,
this is possibly the imaginings of a sometimes distressed woman.

However, until Marie does do so, is it not irresponsible for anyone to start
guessing whom it might be? What does that help?
Glenn
On the other hand, if she was molested, it can partially explain some of her
poor choices and later overcompensation for them. It would help explain some
of her personal relationship problems in her past. Not that I know anything
more about her than what is reported on the news or what she has come out
and stated publicly.

Rugger Resigns Over Rectal Fouls
Matt Alsdorf, Gay.com / PlanetOut.com Network
Wednesday, April 4, 2001 / 05:51 PM
Digital penetration of opposing players while on the field was
deemed "unsportsmanlike interference" by Australian rugby's
governing body, and the offending player has been forced to
resign.
An Australian pro rugby player who resigned this weekend after
being caught sticking his finger in opposing players' anuses
during a match is now considering taking legal action against
the New Zealand Cancer Society (NZCS) for using his picture in
an advertisement for prostate cancer checks.
John Hopoate, a winger for the Australian National Rugby
League's West Tigers club, received a 12-week suspension from
the NRL judiciary last week for "unsportsmanlike interference"
with three North Queensland players whom he digitally
penetrated. The Associated Press reported that the resignation
came after team management met to consider calls for his
removal.
Hopoate said he believed his decision was in the best interest
of the club and its fans, according to Agence France Presse. "I
sincerely regret that anything I may have done has caused
stress, anxiety and disappointment to everyone involved with the
West Tigers," AFP quoted Hopoate as saying in a statement he
released through his manager.
NZCS took out an advertisement in New Zealand's The Dominion
newspaper with a color close-up of Hopoate apparently sticking
his finger in North Queensland captain Paul Bowman's anus.
According to the Australian Associated Press (AAP), the
accompanying text reads, "A bloke's chances of developing
prostate cancer increases as he gets older. If you have symptoms
that you're concerned about, consult your local doctor. It won't
hurt a bit -- promise."
The AAP reports that Hopoate and his manager say they were not
consulted by NZCS about use of the image and are "looking at the
legal ramifications." NRL chief executive David Moffett said the
ad was "appalling."
But NZCS's Roger Taylor was quoted by New Zealand's One News as
saying, "It's a difficult message to get across for a difficult
disease ... and we felt our normal health promotion doesn't work
that well and that this was a topical issue that would perhaps
get it out there."
According to AFP, Hopoate, a 27-year-old teetotalling Mormon
father of five, had faced the NRL's disciplinary commission
seven times in the past four years, primarily for fighting.

Sure they do. Passivity gives them a full field to play in. Lots of
other get to "put their lives back together". A terrible sentence from
someone who's been there already. Your personal experience and strength
are not the general rule. YOu will hear that minute group of ex-heroin
users who kicked the habit and got back into mainstream life sucessfully
make the same type of argument concerning the vast majority who are
hooked. In both cases, a nightmare continues via passive response and
future victims will have their lives turned inside out. Accepting "bad
people"'s behavior ain't going to cut the mustard.

Being that the population of Utah contains a significant nonLDS contingent, it
is just as possible to create innuendo that Marie was molested by a protestant.
I just hope you never lived anywhere near Utah, Rich, if you believe the
mystery will be solved by innuendo. The proud inventor of the guillotine died
on it.

Yeah, maybe Andy Williams caressed her a little too fondly while she was
sitting on his lap singing that song when she was 3. He did seem to have a
wicked grin on his face at the time. I'd say that the evidence pretty much
cinches it---Andy Williams, proven pedophile.
Randy J.
By recounting the alleged experience, Marie herself is responsible for
speculation as to the perpetrator. She has made certain statements as to who
the perp was or wasn't, so that naturally narrows the list of suspects down
somewhat. Seeing as how Mormons, especially those in Utah in the 1960's,
including the Osmonds, were an extremely cloistered society, it stands to
reason that the perp was likely a Mormon. He didn't have to be a "leader,"
just someone who had access to her for whatever period of time.
By alleging the incident without naming the perp, the relatives and friends of
every man who was an adult in Marie Osmond's childhood experience will now
wonder if he was "the one."

When Marie says she was molested, the prejudice of the human mind never
supposes for once that the perpetrator might have been a female, any more than
a southern jury would believe that any rape had ever been committed by a white
man.
Don Johnson's baby-sitter committed statutory rape of him when he was 14, and
the perverseness of our times has him still believing in middle age that he
"got lucky."
Innuendo is like throwing a croquet ball up into the stands at a stadium.
It is unfair because the folks in the lower seats have a better chance of being
hit, and the lower they sit, the greater the damage is likely to be. It is
inequality at its worst.

Rich, you do not know that her reason is to protect the guilty. Whatever your
persona; biases are against the LDS or RCC, you have nothing substantial on which
to base your speculation. What do you REALLY know? Nothing more than what you have
heard. There are no cheers on this one Rich.
Please think about this a bit.

I know very little about Marie's childhood life, however knowing of the
publicity that has surrounded the OSmonds for so many years, one would hardly cme
to the conclusion that her life would have been of the cloistered variety. It
was Rich who was speculating about it being an LDS leader, with absolutely no
basis on which to extend this juicy tidbit for others to pounce on,. That is my
point, that such speculation is irresponsible.

That may or may not be true. Again my pointis that it is irresponsible for
anyone to start proffering baseless speculation.
Glenn
The original story on this is a bit of a mystery to me. Instead of Marie
announcing to the world that she had been molested but refusing to name the
molester, it would have made more sense if she had privately reported the
matter to the authorities, AND to the church, if some member was involved.
What was achieved by the approach she used?
Bill Williams
But then why put it in a book, which is promoted to go to as many people as
possible?
Bill Williams
Are you implying that dear old Sister Glissmeyer---the "sweet-spirited" Primary
pianist who never married, because she couldn't find a mate who was "just
right" for her---might have been Marie's molester?
>Don Johnson's baby-sitter committed statutory rape of him when he was 14, and

Yeah, well, the same thing happened to Kirk Douglas, and he seemed pretty
satisfied with the situation, as I speculate most 14-year-old boys would,
depending on what the babysitter looked like. :-)

Much has been written about the Osmonds' childhood years, and it is obvious
that their lives were centered around LDS activity, as most Utah Mormon
childrens' were. I would estimate that in the 1960's, Orem, Utah was about 80
or 90% Mormon, so it's not a stretch to speculate that the perp was a Mormon.
>It

About one-third of all LDS men eventually become some sort of "leader" on the
ward or stake level, so it's not stretching things to speculate that her
molester may have indeed been a "church leader," whether he was a stake
president or a ward executive secretary. And of course, local LDS leaders are
installed and released on a regular basis, so someone who is a lowly nobody one
week can be a "leader" the next.
Surely you don't believe that local LDS church leaders are immune from
committing sexual sins. If you do, you might be the most naive person on the
planet (after Woody, that is.)

And again, my point is that Marie made the allegation (conveniently to sell a
new book), so she is responsible for any speculation arising from it. If she
hadn't wanted any speculation, she shouldn't have teased her fans and potential
book buyers with the allegation.

So the crime committed by Marie's molester boils down to this: she didn't
enjoy it. My God, most of the husbands of the women I work with should be in
jail, considering how they describe their marital relations.

How is speculation about who might have been the perpetrator going to help
either your brother or Marie? It may possibly be as you say, and then it just
as well may not be. Casting aspersions without any evidence helps no one and
quite possibly could hurt some innocent people.

Undoubtedly? If you know that to be the truth, please turn in those who
teach such.
Glenn
> In truth, society in general trains children not to report such assaults.
Clovis, I do not think that is really true in today's society. I do agree
that such was probably the case up until maybe the eighties when so many
cases were exposed. And along with that exposure, were some innocent people
who got caught up in a general abuse hysteria.

Even today, exposure of such acts is difficult because of the taboo nature
of the subject. You are left with non-reporting or hysterical false
claims by the paranoid. Kids involved with sex abuse are at the mercy of
an authority figure and obedience is the norm.

€ alas
It was the very pointed speculation about LDS leaders that I was referring to.
Rich, I am all for anyone who has ever been molested in coming forward and
naming the person(s) involved and that justice be served upon such. It is good
that young children learn what to do at an early age if someone does try to molest
them. Sometimes though the person that should be doing the teaching is the one who
is doing the molesting. Prefessional counseling for those who have been molested,
in my opinion, is the best place to talk about it.
I don't think that it is a good thing for anyone to come forward and tell of
molestation in a public forum without naming the perpretrator and being ready to
follow up. Suspicions and speculation are bound to jump up. Private counseling,
again in my opinion, would be the better way to go if the victim does not want to
name the perpretrator.
Using this n.g. as a forum to discuss the evils of child molestation is not a
bad thing. Making pointed, baseless speculations, in my opinion, is not a good
thing.

I have no idea whom she might be trying to protect. I could give a long list of
possibilities. But it would be pointless, because I have no credible information
for any who would be on the list.

Inculcation, is not molestation.
