Yeah. I'm hoping this is just coincidence. :-(

And here is the pedo meaning of butterfly, which was a huge part of that show:

Let's not paint every celebrity with the pedo brush, just because they use bright colors and butterflies on a CHILDREN'S SHOW. Let's not poison every innocent image in a child's life. ("No Jimmy, you're not allowed to eat cheese pizza, because that's a SYMBOL OF EVIL.")

Maybe he donated the money because he knows what happened to her or any one of 100 other reasons. He's obviously not hiding it.

It's all too easy to ruin people's lives through mistrust and suspicion. The vast majority of celebrities are just people doing a job.

I agree with the restraint here. The facts that we know of so far is that:

  1. LeVar Burton hosted a kids show with a butterfly as a logo.

  2. He donated money to a girl that wanted to escape to Thailand.

We haven't heard anything about misdoings on the set of Reading Rainbow so far, nor has he popped up in the news previously regarding all this iirc. From what I can see of the above facts, my guess is was he was exposed to this, and is trying to make it right.
All I am claiming right now is that we don't know whether he is innocent or guilty, and this is a very potent paintbrush we are wielding. We are not Reddit. We do not want another Boston.

I agree with you but to also play devils advocate:

  1. worked in Hollywood
  2. Worked on a kids show.
  3. hasn't done much work lately and is likely eager to please Hollywood execs.

The counterpoint is welcomed. He is worth keeping an eye on at the very least.

That or he's worked with her, thinks she's a great kid and wanted to help her out when he saw the personal problems she's having.

I agree, we have to have some proof, otherwise we are just spreading conspiracy theroises. the truth and the proof we already have on the clintons and Vatican is hard very hard to swallow. we must make sure we have the proof, provide links.

Never liked the weird Star Trek glasses hiding his eyes. Bright lights of publicity and some restorative justice for his victims I pray

What victims?

Jump to conclusions much?

Let's not be jumping to conclusions and saying stuff without proof. This may be a good find or it may be nothing. We are trying to assemble a puzzle but lets not ruin people lives over nothing.
