Phantom 2,563 Posted Tuesday at 23:46 5 hours ago, Commtech Sio Bibble said: I've just read the Guardian's article on him, and I'm shocked at how bad the assault actually was, it's a lot worse than what I imagined given he only served 3 months (and was pardoned). I wasn't aware of this until just now. I almost ran his merch table last year, but then gig was cancelled when he started his treatment for cancer. Had I known about this, I wouldn't have put my name forward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sean 6,566 Posted yesterday at 05:27 He only outlived Carter by 9 days. Still surprised that his pardoning of Yarrow was never mentioned in Carter's obituaries as far as I could see. What on earth was he thinking pardoning him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Having sex with teenaged girls just wasn't seen as that bad of a thing back then. You would literally have rockstars bragging about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yarrow put a lot of money into Democrat politicians who lobbied Carter heavily for the pardon. I don't know how much Carter looked into the details but it's a healthy reminder that even great people like Carter can make pretty bad mistakes in their life. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yarrow was also married to Senator McCarthy's niece. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
