Reminds me of when John Dowd accused him of engaging in sexual acts with underage girls while he played, on the day before he was to be honored at GABP at the All-Star-Game. That's a deadly serious accusation to sit on for what was apparently years and wait to drop at a particularly damaging time. Getting justice for victims is one thing, but using them to settle scores is another, assuming there's even a shred of truth to the assertions (which are basically unprovable).
People in Cincinnati of a certain age range view Pete as a half-step below the almighty. Everywhere else, you seem to find a lot of people that just plain love seeing him suffer.
