Wis. billionaire charged with child sex assault
RACINE, Wis. — A billionaire executive whose family has run SC Johnson for five generations was charged Thursday with having sexual contact with a now 15-year-old girl over the course of several years.

*

The criminal complaint says Johnson had inappropriate sexual contact with the girl 15 to 20 times. The girl told investigators Johnson wanted to have sex with her, but she refused.

The girl told authorities that inappropriate touching started when she was between 6th and 7th grade, and the last incident occurred in November 2010, according to the complaint cited by the Journal Times of Racine.

Prosecutors said the girl confided about the abuse to her mother, who confronted Johnson. He allegedly admitted to fondling the girl and repeatedly apologized for his behavior.

22. That commercial always gags me..
A "Johnson Family" member was apparently cast out & died a pretty sad & young death... The article said they tried to get her into rehab, but apparently that family-values family had no power over her

32. I dunno, the DuPont's are major contenders as well.
There is an underlying trend of sociopathy and extreme accumulation of wealth leading to greater societal disconnect and on to a greater divide from humanity.
Which came first the chicken or the egg?

9. Supposedly he is retired from the company and no longer involved in running it
I'm sure he still has a healthy profile with the company and pulls in plenty to live "comfortably".

16. The guy in the commercials is probably an actor...
...but I don't know that for sure, just stating what's likely. But there's always the types who do it themselves, like Frank Purdue used to.

14. What does political affiliation have to do with it?
Pedophilia has no connection to political beliefs.

The majority of the morality police types are projecting when they go on about something.

24. I'm sure there hasn't been any studies based on.............
political affiliation and pedophelia, so there's no research PROOF. BUT isn't pedophelia (like rape) based on power? And who's the MOST power hungry political affiliation? The wholly owned subsidary of the exploiting/capitalist class, aka, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!

Deductively then, pedophelia WOULD be more of a Republican trait.

20. The SC Johnson Company and it's family members were big Scott Walker contributors.
Folks are boycotting SC Johnson products because of their support for Walker.

6. I read this on the "approved internet viewing content" at work.
The comments underneath were all slamming people who would try to blame this guy for "being a Republican". According to the comment leavers, we who would even THINK this man is a Republican are the first to be blamed for what happened to the girl.

yeah. It's never the fault of the pricks that do this stuff...after all, he is a billionaire and money equals morals in this country apparently.

Sick jerk.

15. Can't they seize his assets?
If I'm driving my car and am stopped by police who find pot in the trunk, they can seize my car, then the garage my car sits in when I'm not driving, then my house that affixed to my garage, then my bank account that goes to pay the mortgage on my house, etc.

All this before going to trial.

Why can't this fucker's assets be seized? If I can have my assets seized for having some pot, then I would think a child molester could as well...

21. These rich
'sons of short dicks' NEVER think they will get caught. They have $$$$ and know they can buy their sorry, perverted asses out of the havoc they have created.

That young women will be scarred for life.

Get to civil court and take a few billion $$$ from the sick dick.

23. "inappropriate sexual contact..."
Isn't that fuckin' 'rich'?

But I'm sure porn had nothing to do with his behavior.

When you are finished tearing your hair out with this porn sick doodz POV. Read the sane response to his dangerous findings.

Before you start cryin' about "what about the menz" bullshit. Just stop.

36. If he's convicted, I would recommend Johnson receive a lengthy...
...jail sentence and a HUGE fine. A billion or so would help the State coffers.
