The celebrity abusers

The previous picture is that of b2k, New Edition wannabes, heart throbs to teen girls all over and victims of child sex abuse. The entertainment industry, movies and music as well as dance, has always been filled with child molesters or pedophiles. This not as new as you may think. With in the African community, our obsession with star power and celebrity tends to obscure rational thoughts and objectivity when it comes to what goes on behind the closed doors of Michael Jackson’s ranch or inside of Robert Kelly’s closet.  R Kelly was known to have sex with girls as young as 11, urinating on some of them, yet people still buy his records and embrace him, defend him, hell even attack the girls molested by him. He has sung the national anthem at NBA, NFL, and boxing events, he has won Grammy awards, BET awards, experienced huge records sales and has a protracted court case for sexual abuse (5 years) and counting without a trial. It begs the question, are we as a community ascribing a double standard to knee-grow pedophiles? Are we afraid to deal with knee-grow sexual assaults? Why do we keep supporting the offenders?

 

People defend or trivialize Michael Jackson’s his-story of pedophilia. He is the fodder for comics on most any circuit, in the barber shops and record store; we make fun of his stage antics and talk as if we knew along time ago he was “fruity”. Here is a forty-nine year old male, who acts as if his greatest dream is to be a “white woman”. Who enjoys “sharing” his bed with little boys; who has been documented as conducting himself in extremely suspicious manner around young boys, paid off one parent (whether they appear to be pimping their kids or not) and yet we reject him more because he doesn’t make “relevant” music any more, than the very strong evidence of being a pedophile.

He fits the profile of a pedophile perfectly. He seduces the parents, He exhibits some well-developed techniques of gaining access to children, He seduced his children victims and He has the ability to identify with & listen to children. Michael also collects keepsakes from the children. He has the classic symptoms of a pedophile which is refusing to say his behavior is wrong. In his mind sleeping with children that are not his own is fine. His long story shows that he has victimized multiple children by using his celebrity to lure children into Neverland. He gives them alcohol, takes them on rides, shows them pornography, all the while gaining their trust and the trust of parents with dollar signs in their eyes.

Child sexual abuse can result in both short-term and long-term harm, including psychopathology in later life. Psychological, emotional, physical, and social effects include depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, eating disorders, poor self-esteem, dissociative and anxiety disorders; general psychological distress and disorders such as somatization, neurosis, chronic pain, sexualized behavior, school/learning problems; and behavior problems including substance abuse, destructive behavior, criminality in adulthood and suicide.

Long term negative effects on development leading to re-victimization in adulthood are also associated with child sexual abuse. Studies have established a causal relationship between childhood sexual abuse and certain specific areas of adult psychopathology, including suicide, antisocial behavior, PTSD, anxiety and alcoholism. Adults with a history of abuse as a child, especially sexual abuse, are more likely than people with no history of abuse to become frequent users of emergency and medical care services. A study comparing middle-aged women who were abused as children with non-abused counterparts found significantly higher health care costs for the former.

Sexually abused children suffer from more psychological symptoms than children who have not been abused; studies have found symptoms in 51% to 79% of sexually abused children. The risk of harm is greater if the abuser is a relative, if the abuse involves intercourse or attempted intercourse, or if threats or force are used. The level of harm may also be affected by various factors such as penetration, duration and frequency of abuse, and use of force. The social stigma of child sexual abuse may compound the psychological harm to children, and adverse outcomes are less likely for abused children who have supportive family environments.

Chris Stokes…

 

 Is the manger of the defunked group b2k.  According to reports he litteraly stole the group from their original managers and talked their parents into having the boys sign a deal with him ONLY. The parents seeing the house they were living in thought that Chris was big time.   He wasn’t, because he had already been “white” balled in the industry. NOBODY liked the cat, a conniving, and back stabbing thieving child molester. Some of the parents had their doubts. Jarell’s (the third member of the group) father wasn’t swinging with that shit until Chris Stokes made a deal with him to get some hush, hush extra money from their future albums. According to sources, both Omarion’s mother and her boyfriend at the time, were skeptical, especially the boyfriend, but like a lot of young single mothers, became enthralled by Chris Stokes, light skinned looks, his wealth and what he could do for her and her child. She had Omarion when she was around 14 or 15 so this was an opportunity for her to get back some of the luster lost as a child mother. All she could see was all those dead presidents and the things they can do for her. As soon as her boyfriend started making waves, trying to get into Omarion’s business, he was removed from the picture.

Another group member was a cat by the name of Quindon. Quindon currently lives in Texas as a born-again Christian. As part of the transition to born again Christianity, he became a member of the church, by standing up to offer himself to the “Lord” and testified that as a young boy he was molested by Chris Stokes, who used to manage b2k.  He spoke of a “secret group” of them (Marques Houston included) that used to jack each other off and perform oral sex on each other but no penetration. Chris had even been to court before behind a similar situation. The members of B2K are all child victims at the hand of a sick and depraved individual from an equally perverse environment. The longstanding evidence of celebrity child molesters has been out there for a long time.

Some include the curious story of Victor Salva, Gary Glitter, Jon Peters  there is also female sexual offenders such as Debra Lafave and Stephanie Ragusa, two teachers who abused their authorities and the male under their care. Due to the fucked up nature of our societal make up, many adult males would go on forums talking about their desire to DO (?) these women.

The documentary Secrets of a Child Molester which came out in 1995 features an interview with convicted child molester Ross Nelson, who lured hundreds of adolescent boys into sexual relationships over the course of 40 years. Explores his methods for manipulating both the children and their parents and interviews Nelson’s former neighbors and acquaintances.  On the website weeklystandard.com, Kevin Kusinitz, wrote an article titled Hollywood on the Offensive delved into how Child abuse hits the silver screen.

It is a testament to our society in this modern Greco-Roman empire, that a celebrity such as R Kelly can be found not guilty of sex abuse, though his background and the industry he whores for is rift with allegations and acts alluding to a lifestyle where sex with underage children is the norm. However, the industry does devoure whom it wants to devour. Perhaps if Mystikal had a bigger music legacy and mainstream fans, he would not have suffered the fate of spending  six years in prison  after pleading guilty to extortion and forcing his hairstylist to perform sex acts.  The rapper and two bodyguard forced the woman to perform oral sex, have sex with them, and accused her of stealing $80,000 in cheques.

What more can we do to stem this increasing evidence of child sexual abuse in society on a whole and the African community specifically? More and more we are witnessing this destruction of our young by adult predators, so many of whom are former victims themselves. Yet the journey appears hard due to the prevalence of media and the conditioning they place on our minds, along with the liberal judicial system that portion out justice based on whether or not one is on the in or not.
