Report Inappropriate Comments

Beerchugga, if you do any research on victims of abuse, especially pedophilia, you'll see that it takes a long time to come to terms with what has happened and to be able to get the courage to go to the police to report it, knowing they will be judged by so many, including you, who asks why they they didn't come out sooner. As for the character of this individual who is charged, this has been a long time in the making, as you read from the article, as well as the article in today's Bristol Phoenix. I feel awful for all the victims who have not been able to come forward. There will be plenty that still won't come forward out of embarrassment, and not wanting judgment and ill-informed questions such as yours. Read up on pedophilia and their victims. Mr. Perry, I would hope, will be put in a place where he can never harm another child again. I note your anonymity...seems you don't even have the courage to state who you are, and yet you question why others don't come forward? Seems quite hypocritical to me. To the victims, I hope that you know that there are MANY, MANY supporters of you. Don't let the comments of a few deter you from seeking justice for yourself, and for others.
