I believe it may possibly be true. Some former child stars have alleged a history of child molestation on child actors by directors, producers, and agents. The more protective the parent, the less opportunities for the predators to strike. Not all parents can hover protectively all the time so they put their trust in the agent and other adults in authority in the industry. It could explain the many cases of former child stars who've become a drug addicted train wreck. These individuals have trouble with authority figures and their alleged molestors were authority figures.

This case isn't about gay molestation. It's about using power to get sexual favors from a minor with the promised exchange of an acting job. Straight producers and directors do this with women and sometimes teenage girls.

Links found on that site.
Twink parties doesn't = underage teens.... Most Twinks are between 18 and 25....or College aged. The ones between 16 and 17 rarely go to events like this due to Bouncers or security checking ID's. Its like clubbing , if your underage or look underage you won't get in. Pool Parties or large gay gatherings on a beach or in a club these days are even more age restricted 21+. So pictures showing him at one of these parties means nothing , its not any different then a guy surrounded by women at a club.

Offhand, it seems her relationship with Ray was healthier than her marriage.

Both would be setting the bar very low. Enticing someone 16 years old and nearly 30 years younger than you to have sex with you for a job is a position you can own. I don't want anything to do with it. As I recall he got her drunk.

Usually these threads involve claims of undeniable / universe-shattering news coming from supposedly knowledgeable sources out 'for the truth'.
And when this Bryan Singer news item presented itself, oh well.... It's "good enough", better start a thread.
Cause for concern over what other items are just "good enough" to be taken as fact.
TMZ has broken quite a few stories. Money is a powerful inducement for information.

Heck, its not even about that.

Inside Hollywood

Sounds like a 17 year old snuck into a party, illegally consumed a drink, that was drugged, and then proceeded to have sex.

The way the story sets it up, the drinks being drugged was known by those who attended these parties.

Its an all around bad situation, but you dont sneak into a sex party, and then not expect to have sex.

No, it's the Kardashians and the Hiltons who do that. Bryan Singer makes movies, he's not a Personality. You don't learn about his pregnancies, weddings, divorces, plastic surgeries or weight issues while standing in line at the supermarket. He just makes movies.

I don't have a lot invested in this, but I hope it isn't true. I like a lot of Bryan Singer's work, and learning that artists I like are personal disappointments is disappointing.
