To be clear, as I have stated in this forum a few times now already, I have been open about this since around 2005. Yes, I did make a semi-autobiographical movie that address aspects of this.
Everyone in my family was told about this BEFORE I made a movie about it.
I don't want to violate anyone's confidentiality, but at least 2 others also came forward about being sexually molested by my adopted father, who is now living in a gay marriage in the Hollywood Hills.
My mother passed away in early 2001 and so never saw the movie, but we was told about what happened. She said she had always felt something was wrong but didn't want to confront it. No one in my immediate family doubted anything I had to say, especially given the evidence they were presented with.
I have never asked for sympathy or money or anything because of this, in other words did not try to somehow capitalize on it. The movie I made, called "Bondage" is not specifically about this. It's about a breakdown in the Juvenile Justice system and the failure on the part of our mental health system to help at risk teenagers. I drew heavily from my own personal experiences as well as my observations of others.
No character in the movie was given my name, nor was the period the story takes place set in the 80's when I was a teenager. I did not make the movie all about me. Anyone who has seen the movie all the way through knows that.
About a year ago roughly, Crazy Larry uploaded a scene from the movie where a boy's pedophile father is trying to coerce him into taking a shower together. Mr. Estavan posted this to mock me. I find that to be both sick and sadistic.
I'm at a point in my life where I can discuss what happened to me personally, if it will help someone else. But it's doubtful I will ever be at a point where someone trying to publicly mock me for having this happen to me would have no effect on me emotionally. It's a combination of rage and sadness.
Crazy Larry, I don't believe you that your motivation for making a mockery of this is that you don't believe me. I feel you don't care if it happened or not. It's just one more way you can try to affect me somehow, since that is an obsession of yours. Well congratulations, it does affect me.
People who trivialize and mock those who have been sexualized as children have no soul, no empathy, no remorse. They suffer from Psychopathy and force others to suffer as the result of their own mental illness.
