[Ansteorra] Who are the individuals who sued the SCA?

[Brian O'hUilliam]

  As Herr Andreas pointed out, the victims, and plaintiffs in the civil
action, are minors.  Also, given the particular nature of the crimes that
occurred against these children, there could be laws protecting their
identities.  These are very serious laws as many victims do not want their
names and faces plastered all over the news.
  It is understandable to feel anger and resentment towards these people.
I would tend to agree that the parents seem to be capitalizing on the
suffering of their own children.  However, these children did suffer.  We
must always remember that they are victims of a heinous crime.  While most
of us will probably stand by the SCA and maintain that we did nothing
wrong, a wrong was actually done to these kids by a person who is now in
prison for those acts.  We should all respect the victims in these types
crimes.
  As for facts coming out, everything that needs to be known will be set
forth in the public record.  I fail to see how the identities of the
children, or their parents, are of any importance.  Even if only the names
of the parents are made public, the names of the children are then quite
easy to obtain.  Again, let us all remember that these children were harmed
and respect them.

In Service,
Brian O'hUilliam
