Cosby Sentence

[Rev. Rye]

And this is as much info as we're likely to get. Milk, McKinley, and biographer Shilts are all dead now, so there's not likely to be much more info coming out. That said, the fact that this was a relationship that lasted years (although tempestuous, due to McKinley's longstanding bipolar disorder and history of suicide attempts) seems to be a bit of a hole in the scumbag narrative.

Besides, it's a bit hard to treat this as a "seduction of the innocent" when the one of the first things he says to his lover is ""I came to New York so I could suck cock."

bold mine

Everyone involved is dead now. There's no way of asking what really happened. So I need to ask since you know, Huggy brought up Harvey Milk, were there any charges ever filed against Harvey Milk for the alleged sexual misconduct? If there were charges, was he brought to trial? If so, what was the outcome? If not, then I fail to see how Harvey Milk is even relevant to this topic other than Huggy just needed to, as it was already stated, use a strawman.

As far as I could find, there were no charges laid against Harvey Milk related to this or any other case. To be honest, I have been unable to find any sign Milk was ever in court over so much as a parking ticket. Once again, I could be wrong, but I have failed to find anything. The fact that the sexual relationship with McKinley started when he was 16 is, of course, not a good thing, and if he was tried for it, he’d probably end up in jail, but with all relevant parties dead, all this discussion about Harvey Milk is just historical wankery brought up possibly for Huggy Bear to claim we’re biased in favor of left leaning white guys at the expense of angels like Bill Cosby, who has been convicted of the one rape allegation (out of dozens) that didn’t actually fall outside the statute of limitations.

Moral of the story, if you’re going to question a rape accusation, do it because the evidence for the accusation is questionable, not because of some knee-jerk desire to protect someone you admire. Judge cases solely on their own merit.
