Professor of Pediatrics

Class-action lawsuit from 40 former patients claiming sexual abuse probably prompted it. He also brought the first suit against the Catholic Church in Boston for pedophilia. Appeared on Oprah several times as an expert on children. Weird circumstances.

You have to be a super dedicated pedophile to become a pediatrician.

2/26/2011 9:35:01 PM

What a bizarre story. I wonder if anyone on tww was his patient

Lol at this comment on the second article

Quote :

"Oprah routinely protects pedophiles and abusers, for example, she presents pedophilia,as gendered and when she does do a piece on female pedophilia she depicts it as an anomaly, if she didn’t promote the lie that abuse is gendered, her audience would very quickly change channel – Ophra protects pedophiles and abusers for profit. I think that this publication is relying heavily on female orientated corporate media for sources. There are many mens movement writers out there writing from a male perspective, it would be great to see some of them published here on a regular basis. "

well, at least that's what the story released is.....

you think they went through all that trouble for a change of venue to a more "death penalty" friendly arena in order to just plea it down?

the dude was going to come clean about just how well he knew Carson... and their prior "dealings". the family would rather not have her name disparaged, and they offered the deal at their urging.

This is where I initially found it... and yes, the Jezebel RSS feed is on my reader.

http://jezebel.com/#!5766506/oprahs-long-history-of-sketchy-experts-and-endorsements

Talks about Oprah 'experts' that's she's promoted over her career. If you get the O endorsement, you blow up pretty quick. Jenny McCarthy was left off list, though. It was a fun, 4 year long ride of blaming vaccinations for her son's autism when the one scientific paper supporting it was discredited and it turned out her son didn't even have autism. The local outbreaks of whooping cough and other preventable diseases were an added bonus.

Yea, they were talking at work last week about Levine killing himself. Several of my coworkers knew him and thought he was a very nice guy, but they also weren't underage boys.
