Re: Grrrr.....
It is, of course, a revolting, horrific crime. It is also one he has been accused of ... people are arrested (and on occasion convicted) of crimes they had nothing to do with ... so, before jumping all over him, let's let the system do it's thing

Re: Grrrr.....
Took four tries to read the specifics in that article - did not want to believe a performer would permit themselves into any such situation much less act so inappropriately. Sad.

Wow, I used to hang out at his shop all the time while my g/f went to college at KSU. He seemed like a really nice guy and the last person you would see doing something like that.
I really hope he didn't do it and it's a misunderstanding. This is very shocking and sad.

Bob Markwood is in jail in Texas for molesting kids: he was on the cover of Genii and had a column on kids' magic in Genii.
Pedophilia is a form of mental illness, and people from all walks of life suffer from mental illness. Could have been anyone.

"We want anyone who has seen Mr. Wasley at a Target store, whether it was on Ernest Barrett Parkway or any location, if he was doing anything that looked suspicious to please contact us," said Cassie Reece with the Cobb County Police Department.
This looks like the cops don't have much to go on and are trying to build a case.
People should be careful making accusations without absolute proof. It wasn't too long ago that Copperfield was accused of something it appears he had nothing to do with.

Sorry to see how many have forgotten that it's The Children's Hour and not a safe time to be alone with the little dears.
Okay - so next time you get recognized in a bathroom by some kids whose party you've entertained at and they demand to know how you pulled a rabbit out of the hat "or else" - what do you do?
No presumptions either way here - just a very sad situation either way IMHO.
