I see your point. But sentencing some kid for raping dozens of kids, supposedly fucking them all up the anus...it's too absurd for words. I don't know this case either, but it's obvious the prosecution was full of perverts in the first place.

@PlatoJaspers All Im saying is, I watched and read a lot of other things about this case, and this film was incredibly biased and did not show you all the details of the case, like there was a third person , a friend of jesse's who was also tried and sentenced, why wasnt that mentioned in the film? The whole thing is messed up and crazy and from that documentary i really couldnt tell who was lying and who was tellin the truth by the end of it.

@KaterinaPritzakis What about the kid, who was sentenced too? The US has a legal system it should be ashamed of.

@8008111 the media got out of control yes but the guy was a pedofile - he admitted to molesting 2 children anyway and that was after swearing to his wife it was only one, and that was after swearing he hadnt done anything - the leap frog thing was obviously a load of rubbish and that particular witness had undergone hypnosis and remembered nothing until after the hypnosis, the fact that his testimony lead to 35 counts of sodomy just wouldnt happen now - the lawyers were terrible.

it looks like jesse was probably innocent.

@8008111 they said in the movie there was stacks of child porn in a mannila folfer behind the piano and in the film they SHOW a big stack of manilla folfers behind the piano although they do show the actual porn in the folder, they do however show all his magazines layed out and there was a fuck load

After watching this disturbing documentary only one thing is clear to me- both sons are faggots because they got fucked by their dad. That is testimony to the fathers guilt.

I am a diehard child advocate with a strong tendency to believe the victim. As the film goes on, it becomes clear that Arnold, this somewhat meek, nebbish figure, probably isn't the monster he's made out to be. Like the idea he lined the children up naked in a leap frog position, and then proceeded to penetrate them one by one. The police claimed that Arnold had stacks upon stacks of child pornography; and the photos of the house taken during the investigation show nothing. Sad film, must-see

I found this doc very scary. It's as though every single character is dishonest, secretive, and deceptive.

The mother hates the father and her sons, the oldest son treats his mother like dirt, the cops are mean-spirited, the lawyers are dishonest, and the father is clearly not being honest with his family.
