Women show up up an horny old geezer’s apartment and were told to drink lots of wine?   Well, that says something about common sense and intelligence on their part.

82 counts?  If he did drug and rape them , the DA should move fast and park his old butt in prison.

I hope they throw the book at him and his assitant. There is a related psot at http://iamsoannoyed.com/?p=1928

From above, "Brooks, who is 71 lured the women to his apartment with the aide of his personal assistant, Shawni Lucier. Lucier apparently played a willing role in contacting the women, interviewing them and even assuring some of some and their mothers that these were legitimate auditions."

Lucier and Brooks should get the full sentences allowed by law.  They knew exactly what perversions lay in wait for these young women. 

What the heck is up with Craigslist?  I refuse to go on that site to look for work.  I think it should be boycotted until it cleans up its act.  Murders, rape—is this not enough to go after a website? 

Its not that I’m confused, its just that where is the common sense in these women? If it sounds alitle fuzzy then dont go though with it, or if its too good to be true aspect.
Also drinking wine at an audition? Doesn’t that sound odd?
What has the world come to.

It does sound odd.  And I’m guessing that, in retrospect, a red flag probably did go up in the mind of each one of these ladies.  But then they probably reasoned that an Academy Award winning composer with a female assistant would not be a danger.  I am a firm believer in trusting one’s instincts.  That’s the lesson here, along with never going anywhere like this alone. 

kermie b is right about Craigslist, too.

Lastly, I agree with Norma Grooms that this guy should have been punished long ago for writing that song.  But that’s another issue…
