I thought I would check out how they were explaining that this guy was a known pedophile for decades and no one did anything about it. It was OK to the extent that at least it admitted that privileged people get to do stuff other people can't get away with. They also kind of went in to how he fed the papers some less bad info about himself being a womanizer as a distraction from what he was really doing, which is something we've all come to understand is standard operating procedure for miscreants.

But the most interesting part about the documentary, which I have not finished watching yet, was how the internet made it impossible for him to continue with impunity. Early on, people that knew he was a creep could not connect and communicate with other people that knew. They were voiceless and powerless. But then came the internet and drip, drip drip turned into a flood. The whole story is so fascinating because it is like a deep state mini eco system. He employed all the tools that are employed writ large. He befriended the police. He controlled the press with his own narrative. He was apparently pretty charismatic but as an American the first time I saw him I thought "How did people not know this guy was a creep?" But when you see the Jim'll FIx it show segments you can totally see why he had such a following. The creepiness sort of grew more apparent over the years, but by that time he had ingratiated himself with his seemingly charitable good deeds.

Cautionary tale. Road map for the future. NCSWIC. The people you trust, etc.
