VINDICATION! ABUSER ADMITS HE DID IT!


This is a HUGE thing to see the media actually REPORT that an abuser ACTUALLY ADMITTED WHAT HE DID!! And for an ABUSER to admit it as well! In public!

Additionally this article admits that he & his lawyer did what all abusers of any stripe do: BLAME AND SMEAR THE VICTIM. Wow!! Take note of this RED FLAG people, when someone tells you "so & so is a liar, manipulator, stalker, scorned, obsessed..." -- WARNING! someone's trying to avoid further scrutiny. Or get their lawyer to do the smearing for them.

This is vindication and we should demand more of this from the media and our communities! Kudos to the NY Daily News!

Beast' actor pleads guilty in molest rap

Broadway "Beast" James Barbour was unmasked Thursday as a liar and a child molester - while his victim and his wife looked on.

Barbour, who once played the Beast in "Beauty and the Beast," pleaded guilty in Manhattan Supreme Court to two counts of endangering the welfare of a child - 13 months after he called his accuser a conniving gold digger.

As the now 21-year-old victim sat just a few rows away from the actor's wife, Barbour quietly admitted he forced the then-teenage girl to touch him.

When Justice Micki Scherer asked Barbour if he was aware of the aspiring actress' age at the time, he replied, "Yes, 15."

Barbour admitted luring the victim to his apartment by promising to introduce her to theatrical producers - and then engaging in oral sex with her.

It was a humiliating admission by the 41-year-old actor, who in December 2006 said through his lawyer the aspiring actress leveled the charges against him after learning he had inherited a large sum of money.

"She left NYU, she's working in a bakery, she's completely out of money," his lawyer Ronald Fischetti had claimed. "The motivation has to be because he's coming into money, and because he's becoming a Broadway star."

Prosecutors produced a secretly recorded tape in which Barbour referred to himself as "unethical." They also revealed that another woman has accused Barbour of sexually assaulting her in California when she was just 13.

Now Barbour is set to play a new role - as a jail inmate - when he is sentenced on Feb. 29. He faces 60 days in prison and three years' probation.

While Barbour will not have to register as a sex offender, he has to steer clear of all contact with underage kids for three years. One condition of probation is he has to complete a sex-offender treatment program and give cops access to his computer files.

Dressed in a gray suit, Barbour admitted first groping the actress in July 2001 in his dressing room at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre, where he was performing in "Jane Eyre."

Leaving the courtroom with his wife on his arm, Barbour, who lives in California, said only, "We're just happy to have it behind us."

Meanwhile, Fischetti has a case before the state Court of Appeals seeking permission to publish the victim's name in ads that ask men to report whether she ever filed false sex abuse charges against them.

SOURCE

Going now to write the Court of Appeals and ask that they allow this victim (who was VICTIMIZED TWICE with being smeared in public) to publish his name!

I pray Barbour gets long-term help for his problems and makes restitution to his victim in some way, shape or form; though they rarely do.

Have you read today's article in the nypost
(http://www.nypost.com/seven/01092008/entertainment/theater/barbour_wont_be_cut_367158.htm)
To sum up: the producers (Russellsharpe productions) of A Tale of Two Cities are keeping Barbour aboard the prod. Yep, out of the slammer, fresh on probation, and back on the boards! So the next starstruck girl can swoon over an ADMITTED SEXUAL PREDATOR. On Ron Sharpe's, one half of the producing team, website (http://www.russellsharpeproductions.com/index.php), he refers to his daughter as his finest production. ...yep... To contact Ron Sharpe and offer your opinion about his decision to stick by his irreplaceable pervert, paste info@russellsharpeproductions.com
into your "To:" box and have at it. Please, spread the word. This is disgusting behavior and a blight on society.
Barbour has never publicly displayed a modicum of remorse for his actions, he's actually done the opposite (with the help of his defense team) by blaming, maligning, hissing and scratching the prosecution and victim. He will try again as soon as his probation officer's back is turned. Obviously, he has people (Ron Sharpe) who have no problem enabling him.

Will do. I just posted again about the forgiveness movement and how so many will sympathize with the predator Click Here and malign the victim for speaking out!

Of course none of these predators have an ounce of remorse. Pedophiles, dating wackos, online scammers, liars, cheaters... its always ALWAYS the victims fault if they even say "OUCH! you hurt me!"

Just disgusting.
