Let us sum up.
So right at the time when the media and public were falling over themselves in search for Michael Jackson’s “victims” in reply to the prosecutors’ call to please find at least some, and while the confidential papers of the Chandler settlement were released again and again to remind everyone of “what a sick freak Jackson is”, a certain DEN company was making openly pedophile porn films featuring 14-year old boys and no one in the media or police even cared.
Rape, sexual abuse, threats and treating teenagers to drugs and liquor were rampant and when one of the boys was about to commit suicide and complaints started pouring in the investigation finally started, but was still conducted in a “lackluster” manner. Despite this fact a grand jury indicted Collins-Rector in 2000, however the trio was allowed to slip away from justice and settle in Spain.
Two years later an “enormous” collection of child porn was found in their Spanish home, but this produced little impression on the authorities – the younger guys were released after a month long detention and it was only Collins-Rector who had to serve some 2 years in jail (How many years in jail did Tom Sneddon want for MJ though they never found any child porn in his home? Twenty five as far as I remember?)
Collins-Rector was also the only one in their group who was extradited to the US, but over there the prosecution seems to have been half-hearted again as after serving a very small term he happily sneaked away from justice (and having to pay money to his victims) again. This time he went to the UK where in 2007 he was seen accompanied by a boy well under 18 years of age.
The L.A. District Attorney probably forgot about him as no one could inform the journalists about the status of the Collins-Rector case.
The money awarded to the victims by a civil court was never paid except a fraction from Brock Pierce.
Now the whereabouts of all three guys are evidently unknown. Pierce is somewhere in Asia and is boasting raising $200 million for some new venture of his (where Collins-Rector is suspected to have a share). Collins-Rector himself is said to be in the Dominican republic.
In short neither the authorities, nor the media are paying attention to these guys and no one cares what they did to those children. If Michael Egan hadn’t raised the matter again we wouldn’t have even known the names of these people.
All this is in a sharp contrast to what was done to Michael Jackson in exactly the same period of time and this makes me assume once again that the whole idea of MJ’s prosecution and harassment was a deliberate distraction of the public from real child abusers (and the enormity of the problem per se) and that all the hype around Jackson was simply a big and lucrative project for various world businesses and the public meant to buy the story together with all products associated with it.
Alexander Burton, the actor who played Pyro in the first X-Men film, was a plaintiff in a 2000 sexual abuse lawsuit against Marc Collins-Rector
The boy called in the article Mike E. is naturally Michael Egan who is suing Singer and the others now. The young man named Alex B. is evidently Alex Burton, a 18-year old actor who played Pyro in Singer’s X-Men and stayed at the Encino house as a housemate and partner, but later joined the younger boys’ lawsuit (he was the one threatened with choking if he didn’t consent to sex in front of the bodyguard).
And since the money awarded to the victims by a civil court was never paid, Mike Egan’s motives can be easily understood now – the other people belonging to this sex ring have already slipped away from justice, so making the other participants answer for what they did is now a matter of principle for him.
Some media people are now really interested in finding out what’s wrong with these Hollywood guys. And when some start asking questions the most charming answer they get is a genuine surprise that these Hollywood practices are a surprise to anyone at all – it turns out that the wealthy and powerful always had an eye for pretty young things in Hollywood and that it is even “a time-honored tradition” there:
“…as several industry observers note, Singer is hardly the only Hollywood figure, gay or straight, with wealth, power and an eye for pretty young things. “Come on — that’s a time-honored tradition in this town,” says a producer long acquainted with Singer. He adds that the allegations are nearly impossible to believe, saying, “I’ve only seen a very gentle side of Bryan.”
Sometime after making his 1998 film Apt Pupil, Singer pitched a superhero project to DEN. There had been a burst of bad publicity during the making of Apt Pupil, a thriller about a high school student who discovers a fugitive Nazi war criminal in his neighborhood. During filming, suits were filed on behalf of underage extras alleging that Singer had required them to strip naked for hours while he shot a shower scene. Screenwriter Brandon Boyce called it “an absolute smear job” and “an attempt to blackmail people based on their sexuality.”
The Los Angeles District Attorney’s office found no evidence of wrongdoing, and the civil cases were dismissed.
Singer at times has been known to be troubled: Executives who have worked on his movies say the director was sometimes erratic, often complaining he was in pain, at times appearing “heavily medicated” and sometimes failing to appear on set. There were widespread rumors that Singer’s partying was part of the problem, but a friend who visited the set says that was not the issue. “There were times that production was interrupted or delayed,” says this person, but the problem was Singer “battling his own demons” with respect to medication.
Attorney Singer says his client “had back pain and neck surgery,” which explains him seeming medicated. “He took medication for back pain.” Chris Lee, a former top Columbia TriStar executive who had overseen Apt Pupil and had a reputation for being able to soothe Singer, was an executive producer on Superman Returns and was dispatched to the set in Australia to get the director on track.
“Chris wasn’t able to do with Bryan what we’d thought he’d be able to do,” says an executive involved with the film. “We needed someone who would be able to control and guide Bryan a little better.”
In May 1999, the boy from New Jersey who had met Collins-Rector at 13 had sued in federal court in New Jersey, alleging that Collins-Rector sexually abused him from 1993 to 1996. Denying the allegations, Collins-Rector settled for an undisclosed sum [the settlement was made soon after a tape of a certain telephone conversation was presented to Marc Collins-Rector].
But he left DEN along with Shackley and Pierce, stating through their attorney that they had planned to go regardless of the lawsuit. Top DEN executives, including Neuman, subsequently told the Los Angeles Times in 2000 that they knew of no abuse by Collins-Rector and did not concern themselves with his private life. Soon, DEN went bankrupt.
Collins-Rector, Shackley and Pierce launched another company called World Wide Technology & Internet Ventures Ltd., incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Still living at the Encino mansion, they were joined by new housemate and partner Alex Burton, an 18-year-old actor who was a friend of Pierce.
But more and more boys came forward, alleging abuse.
[ ] What seems remarkable, in retrospect, is that all of the charges against Pierce’s former partner, Collins-Rector, were filed by federal authorities; despite many allegations regarding activities at the Encino house, officials in L.A. never pursued criminal charges against Collins-Rector or his associates.
Egan’s mother, Bonnie Mound, alleged during an April 21 news conference that her attempts to report her son’s abuse to the FBI had fallen on deaf ears. In fact, a 2003 affidavit filed by Special Agent Joseph Brine and obtained by TMZ stated that Egan had brought allegations against Collins-Rector to Brine’s attention.
During the April 21 news conference, Egan’s sobbing mother called out several FBI officials by name:
“I’d like to say to Special Agent Joseph Brine: You came to our house once. You interviewed Mike once. You called me a couple times after. I continued to call you. I continued to write certified, return-receipt letters to you. Everything went silent. What did you do then, Mr. Brine? I’d also like to say to Mr. J. Stephen Tidwell, FBI Los Angeles: Why’d you ignore my certified, return-receipt letters? Mr. David Johnson, FBI, J. Edgar Hoover Building, Washington, D.C.: Why did you ignore my certified, return-receipt letters? And Mr. Robert Mueller III, Director of FBI, J. Edgar Hoover Building, Washington, D.C.: Why did you ignore my certified, return-receipt letters?”
In response to an inquiry from THR, the FBI said it “takes seriously allegations involving the sexual abuse of minors. The suggestion that the FBI ignored evidence concerning the sexual victimization of a minor is completely without merit.” The Los Angeles Police Department said the FBI was the lead agency investigating in 2000 but declined further comment.

There is one thing which will be surely told by Michael Jackson’s detractors now. Considering the alleged slackness on the part of the FBI towards Michael Egan’s and other boys’ complaints and being always on the lookout for some new innuendo to tell about Jackson, they will surely try to devalue the huge 20-year long work of investigating Michael Jackson by the media, police, DCFS, the Santa Barbara and Los Angeles District Attorneys and the FBI.
Whatever the case with Michael Egan and the FBI negligence towards his mother’s appeals, his situation cannot be in any way compared with the FBI readiness to investigate Michael Jackson and at first notice from his prosecutors too – like following the lead of that telephone terrorist Terry George, for example. His story never went anywhere as it is laughable of course, but its very presence in the FBI files means that the FBI did rush to check up every silliness ever said about Michael Jackson. But still found nothing.
And if someone is tempted to compare the hush-up settlement made by Marc Collins-Rector to a boy abused by him at age 13 with the settlement made by Michael with Jordan Chandler, a firm line between the two should be also drawn by a steel hand.
Collins-Rector made a quick settlement before the news of the case even began to spread. This is how hush-up settlements are really made. If MJ had followed the same pattern he should have paid money to the Chandlers the next day the boy’s father approached him and no one would have ever known why and for what reason the money changed hands.
Instead Michael Jackson subjected himself to a year-long police investigation, a media storm and a humiliating strip-search which proved that the boy’s allegations were false (the photos didn’t match but sadly, this fact was poorly reported by the press) and gave up only when all the frenzy came to the point of sheer survival for him. And the insurance company did offer him a sum as a compensation for the settlement (at least part of it) – this we are now sure of as we have found solid proof of it in an article of the period mentioning the insurance offer.
And finally, the explanations by Singer’s attorneys that his uncontrollable drug-taking was actually for his “back pain” sound very much like an allusion to Michael Jackson’s problems and an attempt to squeeze a little sympathy for Singer at Michael Jackson’s expense.
Even here they are trying to use MJ to their advantage and compare the incomparable – Michael began taking pain-killers due to a burn and the torturous skin-stretching procedures to grow hair on his head and due to the horrendous accident with a bridge falling under him and damaging his back. And though Singer is naturally not safeguarded against his own health problems, no back pain can explain his continuous and uncontrollable drug-taking which has already turned into a sort of a legend in Hollywood.
In short all of it comes back to what I’ve said before – what is a fun game for these people was turned into a life-long torture for Michael Jackson. They can get away with almost anything, while Michael was and is still being judged according to the harshest possible rules.
And still, despite the difference in the rules of the game he won an honest acquittal in the hardest of the battles and left the court an innocent man, while predators like Collins-Pierce-Shackley have to live in hiding and carry the label of the depraved criminals they are though hardly ever tried at all.
As to Bryan Singer I don’t know, but even if due to the peculiarities of the justice system he wins the case from his accuser Michael Egan, we have still seen that photo with some young faces at the Emmerich/Singer pool party, haven’t we?
A HOPEFUL BEGINNING
As a supplement to this post here is a summary of Hollywood child-abuse cases revealed to us in the past couple of years. It seems that the cleaning process has started.
Hollywood definitely needs some fresh air – both for those who work in the industry and are also sick and tired of its ways, and us, ordinary movie-goers who want to appreciate Hollywood films without having to shudder at the thought of what might be going on behind the screen.
Hollywood’s Sexual Predator Problem Explodes
By Michelle Malkin | May 6, 2014 | 22:053782 301 Reddit257 58 A A
Hollywood is sick, sick, sick. Behind its curtain of holier-than-thou progressivism, the entertainment world’s top A-list stars have engaged in the most depraved sexual abuse against vulnerable children and teens, according to a growing number of victims. After years of cover-up, the institutional scandal is exploding. Finally.
The latest alleged atrocities involve “X-Men” director Bryan Singer and at least three other power players in the business: veteran television executive Garth Ancier, former Disney executive David Neuman and producer Gary Goddard. Last month, former child actor and model Michael Egan filed civil suits against the men, alleging that they passed around underage boys “like pieces of meat at sex parties” in the late 1990s. Egan’s X-rated lawsuit exposes a cabal of alleged predators who plied young boys and teens with hard drugs and alcohol before sexually assaulting them.
Egan was repeatedly molested, raped and beaten from the age of 15, he says, at an infamous gay sex mansion in southern California. The mansion was owned by another of Egan’s alleged abusers: scumbag Internet video mogul Marc Collins-Rector. He’s a registered sex offender who lured young boys online, drugged and raped them, and reportedly threatened them with a gun if they did not submit.
Collins-Rector was convicted in 2004 of transporting five underage boys across state lines with the intent of raping them. He was allowed to leave the U.S. in 2006 by claiming a “brain tumor,” according to The Hollywood Reporter. The (U.K.) Sun reported in 2007 that he was “swanning around Britain in a chauffer-driven limo and surrounding himself with young boys.” He can no longer be located, despite supposedly being under police “supervision.”
Egan’s mother reported the abuse to the FBI and Los Angeles Police Department back in 2000, the family’s lawyer, Jeff Herman, says. Nothing was done.
Singer’s lawyer calls Egan’s suit “absurd” and “defamatory.” But the allegations just keep piling up. Singer is now the subject of another lawsuit filed this week by a young British man who alleges Singer’s producer pal Gary Goddard groomed him online from the age of 14, raped him at 16 and shared him with Singer after the London premiere of Singer’s movie “Superman Returns” in 2006. Internet photos have been circulating for years showing Singer with a parade of young boys and men draped around him.
Egan’s claims are especially chilling in light of similarly lurid allegations made 17 years ago on the set of Singer’s movie “Apt Pupil.” Three underage boys — ages 14, 16 and 17 — filed suit claiming Singer and his crew forced them to take off peach-colored G-strings and strip naked in a shower scene for the movie. Authorities investigated. The suit was dismissed. Nothing was done.
“Everyone’s ducking for cover,” Paul Petersen, a former child actor and child actors’ advocate, told Entertainment Weekly in 1997. “It’s a complete and total breakdown of the protections Hollywood pretends it accords children.”
The same industry that sanctimoniously convenes anti-bullying summits with the Obama White House and falsely accuses conservatives of waging a “war on women” has allowed countless children to be stalked, groomed, beaten, molested and raped on casting couches, in movie trailers, and at drug- and alcohol-drenched parties by Tinseltown predators. The alleged child rape scandal exposed by Egan does not exist in a vacuum:
Marty Weiss
—Last year, child actor Corey Feldman sounded the alarm on rampant pedophilia in a brave, scathing memoir. He recounted how his best friend and co-star, the late Corey Haim, was sodomized by an older male on the set of their hit film “Lucas.” The boys, fed cocaine by a string of predators, attended parties with Hollywood talent manager and child actors’ rep Marty Weiss. Now a registered sex offender, Weiss pleaded no contest in 2012 to lewd acts on a child under the age of 14. The victim, another young child actor, alleged Weiss sexually assaulted him between 30 and 40 times from the age of 11.
—Boy band impresario Lou Pearlman was a con artist and sleazeball who hosted sleepover parties wearing only a towel and solicited massages from young male singers. “Certain things happened, and it almost destroyed our family,” boy band star Nick Carter’s mother told Vanity Fair years ago. “I tried to warn everyone.”
—Former child actor Todd Bridges, of “Diff’rent Strokes” fame, says he was abused by his agent.
Lou Pearlman—Former teen pop princess Debbie Gibson has spoken of “older male record executives” who hit on her while she was still underage.
—Despite disturbing and longstanding allegations of molestation and rape, directors Woody Allen and Roman Polanski still enjoy professional acclaim and adoration of their peers.
—Perv fashion photographer Terry Richardson continues to enjoy the support of Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Rihanna and Miley Cyrus despite years of allegations of misogyny, manipulation and sexual misconduct against young models.
If all of these sickos had been Catholic priests, college fraternity members or charter school teachers, we wouldn’t have heard the end of it. Perhaps the social justice awareness-raisers in the Hollywood left should take a break from pointing fingers at everyone else — and put a stop to the monsters in their own midst.

And how much would we have heard if at least a fraction of what they found about these people had ever been found about MJ?
