Vile parents. Their money, privilege, and a sense of entitlement created a monster. Kudos to the victims and the courts for pursuing the matter. He's right where he belongs.
I agree no one wants to believe our kids can do things like this, but lightening doesn’t usually strike twice in these instances. Two victims with more off record is a good indication he is a guilty, for sure. What a spoiled arrogant prick!!
Does anyone know if Alexs' parents were shunned by Darien residents??? This what can happen when rich parents spoil their kids/Brats ... Zero accountability and respect!!! 😡
The FBI guy once screamed at the parents in front of other people that they were losers, scum, and many other things. I would have loved to be there and see them while being scolded like little children. Of course, that wasn't enough, they deserved prison time. But that must have been very liberating for the FBI agent. Also they lost their older son to a drug overdose while Alex was on the run, and the youngest died in a car crash in 2004...karma's a B.
Fucking rapist and wtf was wrong with that juror? As a woman I'm sickened when I hear female jurors have a crush on the defendant and dead lock the jury.
Laurie_makeup_artist _ she believes the girl is to blame and by flirting back and forth she can say to herself the same happened between the victim and him- she led him on and cried rape at the end. But he won't do that to me because I won't do that to him. SHE IS A CLUELESS CARELESS WOMAN TOO BAD THERE SEEMS TO BE SO MANY!!!
yeah like serial killer groupies!! remember seeing ted bundy's trial with all those silly groupies trying to get him to pay attention to them. or richard ramirez the night stalker who was hailing satan and all his groupies were swooning over him?! didn't they ever get it that if these animals were out on the street they would be potential victims?? i don't get it
They lost their older son to a drug overdose while Alex was on the run, and the youngest died in a car crash in 2004. Life has a bizzarre way of turning out.
@@GByrne-qd3pxIm from Stamford and remember this case vividly..he was let go in 2007..The parents are way too far removed and charging them would have done nothing..
Apparently suffered from 'affluenza', that condition where spoiled rich kids don't know right from wrong. I have no respect for the parents or the kid. The kid's old enough to know better. He's a jerk.
He is a convicted rapist . That is what he was, that is what he is and that is what he will always be. He should have gone to prison for the rest of his worthless life.
And the father didn't even care if what his son did was right or wrong! Despicable. He was trying to seem classy to everyone,but he obviously has no class.
This is so fucked up. He only served about half of his time as he got out on good behavior and is on probation, came out still rich and privileged, bought a plane, and started a business with his parents' money.....who got off with no punishment for helping their rapist son avoid the law. Justice.
I can't believe that Alex's father said that his son was brave to run off the way he did. No it was not!!!! Brave is the amazing strength of the woman who testified not just once but twice against him. Brave was her having to endure the defence teams horrid attacks in those two trials. She was and is brave. Going on a eight year holiday in the Swiss ski resorts and other prime tourist locations of the rich, that's not what most people call "brave". Pathetic!!!!
The father makes me sick "because he's my son!"... If my son, father, brother whoever raped someone I am not the type of idiot that would support them anyway... I'm a correction officer and I see these types of enablers all the time... They make me sick...
The Kellys didn't really fit into the community of Darien. But watch these documentaries and you'll see a disturbing pattern. Whether they are wealthy or trying to create the illusion of being successful and rich, these types of parents tend to be narcissistic, both abusive and enabling. Is it any wonder that their offspring often times believes that they can get with anything? Look at their role models. Alex Kelly did have a choice, but after years of having his parents fix things for him, he seemed to think that the whole world was like that. Given that his father was abusive, he probably thought that abusing others was acceptable. I feel terrible for the trauma that these girls went through. I hate that the rape victim is often placed on trial, when they didn't commit a crime. They were the ones who were victimized, not the other way around. Alex was coward to run, and his parents are just as despicable for helping him.
Alex Kelly was released in 2007 after only serving 10 years in jail and went back to reside in Darien with his parents in that same house. As of August 2015 he has started his own skydiving business and is planning to buy a local airport. If that doesn't say something about privilege in America I don't know what does.
+FierceFashion I don't think he can live with his parents. As far as America knows, his father's head was shot graphically by a lone gunman. Though as far as America also knows the person also shown as Alex died in a plane crash with his wife (and wife's sister) in 1996 from the family curse. His mother died around the time you're saying and his uncle, who is actually who the newspaper photo is of, died not long after Obama was elected. The testimony from the women is printed gossip about JFK from supposed female sources or even supposedly Jacqui herself. There genuinely is another "true story" using the exact same newspaper photo (there may be a number of them), except it's an entirely different person, place and crime. It's not a Dominick Dunne one, but True Crime TV or something like that. No, it may be American Justice. Always used for men who weren't even born in the decade of the newspaper article. I'd say the business reference says a lot about the family being close to the Lindbergh's and that skydiving is much safer than wing walking. Oh and that JFK Jr. and his wife were not killed in a bizarre plan crash the pentagon would have everyone believe.
+edwardschlosser1 But it actually is a legally just system for the most part and probably more so than we often think. The safe guards in the legal system are very high. Dominick Dunne never ever developed his show to be watched on the internet. It's also not designed to be watched on a computer screen either really. Don't forget either that his field of expertise is being a very objective thinker. I won't go through a lot of the details and I've mentioned a number elsewhere, however there's one thing you can't deny he does quite intentionally that shows you he knows he's informing you of a bogus press CourtTV story. The defence attorney makes a number of comments throughout this story and his name is written on the screen. Dominick makes remark that the family made a very good move in getting the defence attorney who represented Claus Von Bulow, a case he was there for and says the name. Without knowing anything about the Von Bulow case you already know there's something fishy because the name he says is nothing like the name of the defence. Worse is that the Von Bulow case is infamous and Claus' new girlfriend even refers to the lawyer to get as "the Jew from New York", "I told him to get the Jew". Dershowitz is famous and Dominick did not knowingly stuff up that reference. Much like he'd never say "he's the only living witness still alive" unless he was trying to make a point, since of course a living witness is alive. If you watch him again now, knowing he continually references contradictions, other crimes no less absurd, crazy media reports of what really is, and so on they all tend to stand out like the chair that can't be lowered without your hand and you find yourself applying the law and constitution, recalling many media stories with the same bogus details and wondering how so many people get sucked in. What's that saying? When I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing their lollipops :-) . DD wants the public to take 'em back, haha.
It makes me sick to hear that he says" Doesn't everybody deserve to live some sort of life" because when you rape two young women you don't deserve to live this type of life, especially when you are a wanted fugitive.
Watching this show since it was on TV, I learned one thing. Kids of wealthy families don't have any idea how to live in "normal" society. They believe that their better and have higher status than anyone else. And believe that Mommy and Daddy will always bail them out of trouble. I'd teach my kids how to behave and give back. And they'll know that they have to work hard and do good in order to earn their money. These wealthy kids learn none of that.
A lot of people in this town were fucking stupid...Lets see, he's charged w/armed robbery, but let him have his "summer" vacation, You accuse him of raping your daughter, oh we're going on vacation we'll get back to you. Thank God the second girl stood up to this puke! The girlfriend just runs back into his arms when he comes back after fucking other girls in Europe. And I'm sorry I don't think he was good looking, just a typical, rich douchebag. And only serving 10 years? Him fleeing to country should of also been added. GRRR. makes me so mad. SCUMBAG AND SCUMBGAG PARENTS!!
+Linda Coolbaugh The fact you and SO many other people believe it is the only reason DD makes his show. If he just said it's not true or real he'd be dismissed and forgotten. So he points out the most absurd points, connections identical to other massively hyped crimes of equal absurdity and the photo evidence that is most often other people. Like one of the girlfriend is actress Natasha Richardson. The newspaper photo of the Darien athlete says 1957 if you enlarge it :-) . It is from a massively reported crime that happened after JFK/JFK & RFK & possibly JFK Sr. had "died" to the "4th" Kennedy son, who would be the face in the photo. As for the photos of his g/f and he at the 1997 case. Priceless. JFK Jr. apparently died in the most improbable plane crash & recovery in 1996 with his wife on board. If you see photos of them, they're eerily like this pair. Even ignoring that the athlete photo is his uncle Ted who he does look like. Or that the crime staged against Teddy was him with a woman in the back seat of a car that then went much worse than this. The details of what these women say though are nearly verbatim what magazines with exposes claim Jacqui says about Ted and John. Still Dominick, he even gave the defence attorney 3 names. The man on screen talking had one name, Dominick spoke of Claus Von Bulow's case against Suny Von Bulow (the infamous impossible coma of nearly 30yrs in New York) and how smart the parents were to get the attorney that defended him but called him something different to the man onscreen which is different to the name of the attorney (Dershowitz I think, but a name like that, you couldn't forget it) who was on the Von Bulow case. Passports are surrendered if bail is granted, especially over 1 million, and this case said 2 million which is forfeited if you don't stay in the place your told. Be if a residence and only going to arranged appointments, or not out of the city, least of all the state, never mind the country. Not to mention identification is needed everywhere, it's not that hard to find people :-). So in a real case him absconding would've been added as would charges directed at the parents for aiding and abetting. Many charges could be added if they wanted. Mail, bank accounts, false identity, etc, etc. Plus all of the laws broken in other countries by being a wanted fugitive. Though he would've just gone to a country that couldn't extradite thus knowing it's not real.
Overindulged, spoiled rotten brat. Parents are just as bad, they should be charged as Accessories to the Crimes as well as Aiding and Abetting. The lot of them are narcissistic, arrogant, sociopaths.
He got out in 2007 for "good behavior" after only serving 10 f*cken years! How disappointing. After he got out, he apparently became a sky-diving instructor, then threatened a pilot, got fired, bought his own cessna and owns his own sky diving business. (Thanks to his mommy and daddy for the plane i'm sure). What a joke.
@mrsbluesky8415 careful look at all the cases where black men get off for r#pe and SA or get light sentences. I think it's more to do with male privilege than race and definitely a socioeconomic one
100% Truth! He got what he deserved. But the parents are still Free as a Bird' although they broke the law by Aiding and Abetting a Fugitive... Its Disgraceful how Rich people seldom get what's coming to them and the poor rarely are given a proper defense so they are thrown in jail and the key is tossed in behind them...
I know I don't know how in the Joe Kelly thinks he has the right to judge other parents for spoiling and doing all they can to get there kids out of trouble. Its like hello look how your son turned out.
It is so wrong that people with money get away with things poor people suffer in jail for, like how the parents funded their son's fleeing the law. I can think of at least 4 crimes they committed and I'm not even a law student. It is NOT right!
Well, their karma killed their other two children. It would be interesting to know of the circumstances of the automobile crash that killed the third son. And there are a lot of ppl who are never caught; he was high profile because of money and his looks.
I have to say, the boys in MY high school would have kicked this guys ass from one state line to the other if he'd have assaulted any girl. It happened ONCE, in all the years I've lived in this town; a girl was raped at one of the dances and the guy who did it... well, I think her brother and a few of his friends stopped just shy of actually killing him. Swifter justice than any judicial system. The kids around here aren't perfect and get crazy like teenagers do everywhere, BUT the difference is we KNOW the difference between right and wrong because we were TAUGHT by parents who give enough of a damn about such things to raise their kids right.
Alex is one sick bastard, who belongs in jail. I don't give a rats ass if he had "good behaviour" in jail. He's going to rape another poor girl/woman and be sent back to jail. He's a piece of work he is.
...if the same evidence was held against my son, Id let the justice system do their thing and hope it served as a lesson to him, I'd support him, I might bankroll his psychiatric help, but I would not bankroll his escape. HE WASN'T BRAVE, RUNNING ISNT BRAVE, Turning and facing yr accusers is brave, running is the OPPOSITE OF BRAVE, he was a pathetic, spoilt little bastard!
+Александр Гуров Spoken like a True Rapist. The way you are defending this Piece of Shit rapist comes off like you have been in his shoes. That Dirtbag is Guilty. What you said may have been halfway believeable if the Pervert hadn't ran away' living the high life and went to trial 8 years ago. But the fact that the women at least the first one was a married mother' who could have dropped the case. But she chose to endure Not 1 but 2 trials. She wasn't just a scorned 15 year old girl" she was a woman who was determined to see justice prevailed after enduring a horrible rape and (SODIMY) He was GUILTY AS HELL and so were his parents who Enabled him. The parents should also be in prison. They know what a Monster he is. Just because their rich should Not exclude them from the law. Last time I checked it was Against the Law to Aid and Abet a Fugitive!!!
Pretty standard creation of a sociopath; an abusive (physically and mentally) father, a female parent that tries (with varying degrees of success) to protect the child in question. Often outbreaks of violence against the child are followed by periods of generosity in gift giving, and ignoring the terrible behaviors that are evincing themselves more and more regularly. Add to this deadly mix the amount of money that the parents are shelling out and you have a monster in the making. His parents should be in prison for hiding his location for so long. I believe it is called aiding and abetting.
Well Lekki1 has said it all really, being the wonderful, intelligent person she is, but isnt this the American Dream? As long as one has money, for some reason they have power & respect; they can stamp all over other people, RAPE women, break the law, lie, its all fine if one has money. Looks & superficial charm help, but even the narrator said he had wealth charisma looks & popularity. Is that what is valued? Not thoughtfulness, kindness, loyalty, RESPECT FOR OTHERS? & in many states there is a statute of limitations for rape, sexual abuse & others crimes against humanity. Even Adrienne said as she got older & stronger she cd face a trial. (maybe its different if a person flees. This should be abolished so kids can file charges when ready. Makes me so mad.
chokinonashes67 The American dream? I am not sure about that. I don't think the American dream is supposed to include rape and theft. (Yes, Alex was a thief and had run-ins with the cops about that too). I guess I can't even imagine what the American dream is anymore, it seems so mutated into an escape "theology" for excessive greed, dishonesty and me, me, me. The cultural fascination with the supposed American dream fuels television, films, Wall Street scumbags, and endless envy, but it just isn't real.
el reggie inald Mothers can be abusive (and I speak from personal experience) but in this sort of family dynamic, the mother tends to be complicit more than anything. They choose their husband over their children. Look at the case of the Menendez brothers and you'll notice some alarming similarities. Abusive and controlling fathers whose wives are either too meek or too afraid to lose what they have, and as a result allow their children to be mistreated.
Alex Kelly sounds like a whiny baby. "Poor me". Ugh. No feeling for the girls that he brutalized. A son of narcissists who learned the lesson of his parents well.
It makes you sick that all these women, the mother, the various girlfriends, would support a brutaliser of women. The police should have moved to prosecute the parents much sooner for aiding and abetting a fugative. Well done to the brave victims, who have, no doubt, saved other women from this disgusting predator.
On February 14, 1986 "I was driving to school, lights come on, and the next thing I know, it's like the movies, put your your hands on your head, and the whole deal, I did not know what going on" yeah, Romeo, you are so used to raping girls you see it as normal, as a date, as consensual sex. Happy Valentine's SOB. His parents deserve to do time with him. I don't feel sorry for his parents, they disgust me. They have no regard for the victims. Their son is a scum because of them.
Don't put the blame on having money, on being able to play sports, or even on the town. the blame & shame belongs squarely on Alex & his parents. period. The parents should have done life.
Gimme a freakin' break, the parents of Alex Kelly never prosecuted because prosecutors thought they'd appear too sympathetic to the jury.....MY ASS!!! Tell the damn truth about it, it's all about the politics. You're not going to expend the energy or the money to fight a man as rich and powerful as Mr. Kelly. You have no interest in holding him accountable if it means spending the money to do it. What bullshit, they should be held to the same standards of behavior as the rest of society is held to. This makes me sick. That boy will be in the best cell in prison, he'll have all the amenities of home, and he'll kick back and enjoy his stay because all it will mean to him is some structure, for once in his life. It's hardly going to be punishment. The mother in her denial actually rationalizes and justifies her criminal behavior based on what any mother wouldn't want for their son. Yes, we get that, you love him and can't stand the thought of him being incarcerated so you fund his flight from justice. Do the words, "right and wrong" mean anything to you? What kind of mother doesn't teach her man-child how to own up to his responsibilities? What kind of mother are you that you would deny your son's nature in the face of all proof contrary to what you believe he is? I'm a mother of two sons, and it hurts to think about what I know my children are capable of. (Not meaning, murder or rape or things that serious). They're capable of lying to me, they're capable of hurting my feelings, etc. I can't deny that they can do those things to their own mother because I see it, they're my children. So it's only in denial and refusal to believe the truth that any mother wouldn't see the nature of her child. That being said, you only hurt your child when you deny what you know to be true about them. This guy, Alex, is completely destroyed by his parents. He's a useless human being, a vacuum from which dollars go in and never come out. He's more like the bane of their existence rather than their pride and joy. But out of pride, they refuse to see him that way because that would be admitting their failures as parents.
Thanks for posting these. If you can, I would love to see some of the DDPPJ episodes from the first season, there is one called Unbridled Greed about a racehorse breeder from Kentucky which is a classic.
What an audacious SOB Kelly's attorney is. Having the gall to claim that HIS client was "being screwed". Just the choice of that particular expression is a defiant, in-your-face insult to the actual victims. Attempting to suggest that the violator is the violated. Scum-buzzard.
No it is not too many years. It doesn't matter if it was a date rape or someone breaking into your house late at night. The act is the same. In fact it could be argued that it's worse when you know the person as there existed a level of trust that has been viciously abused. This guy is an aggressive serial rapist. He deserves to rot in prison for the rest if his life actually. Don't forget he raped a number of girls that he hasn't been prosecuted for, so I think this sentence is very adequate.
AtheismTheNewGimmick The statistics say that a large proportion of women and girls who are raped and/or murdered knew and trusted their attacker. Teaching "stranger danger" has actually been detrimental in keeping children and women safe from predators.
he sure DID say his son was brave! i will bet you anything alex has no sisters because no father with girls would ever let that come out of his mouth. one rape..two rapes..three...no this guy was a WELL KNOWN rapist! just because a guy is rich, handsome and athletic and could "get any girl he wanted" doesn't mean he isn't a serial rapist. Rape is a violent crime less about sex and more about power and control and this alex clearly was OUT OF CONTROL! i studied his face during his interview segments and knew i was looking at a sociopath...manipulative, charming...devious. i pray his many victims are doing ok. that's not a crime you get over. it stays with you replaying like a bad movie in every relationship you have afterwards. peace!
OMG one of the victim's parents postponed pressing charges because they were going on a ski vacation. WTF. Thankfully Hillary pressed charges right away.
High school principals have to be the among stupidest, sleaziest, most evil people in the world. Naturally, Velma Saire would side with the Kelly family.
"The girl had to help to lower the seat so there for she was complicit with her own rape, because he would not be able to hold her down with one hand at her throat and lower the seat." paraphrasing the defence. He was a wrestler, she was a 15 year girl. Guilty!
As long as there are rich people who spoil their children, there will be no justice in this world. The parents should be jailed for obstruction of justice and have every last penny of theirs stripped away. What horrible person sees their son rape several girls and just look away?
My son, a witness to a sexual abuse. I made him against his best judgment to say something, using his sister 6 years younger, if it was her what would you do. Was awful as single parent. He so didn’t want to be interviewed by detectives. He was 16 I could only think this could be your sister. Don’t know outcome but know son made a statement. Did l make a mistake.? Do know my children15 years later Awesome. Hard being single parent. So F**king hard, given l have issues Love my kids to pieces. They so much wiser than me, didn’t share l victim of rape as teenager. Was somewhat normal 30 years ago.
I never knew until years later how close I lived near the Kellys. Very sick person. What angers me is every time he got in trouble his parents cleaned his messes up so of course he felt invincible. They should have faced criminal charges as well. They knew so much but never did anything about it and this to me is criminal.
Its no wonder he turned out the way he did his parents taught him that he could do what ever he wanted when ever he wanted, to who ever he wanted with out having to justify himself or worry about the consequences. As for his dad judging and saying other parents for spoiling there kids and doing whatever they could to keep there kids out of trouble. STFU dude look what you have for a son.
Just now became aware of this old story. The video paints a bleak picture of not just the kid but also of the parents who apparently enabled their son to stay on the run, for years. Those two parents should have been convicted of aiding and abetting. And the local chamber of commerce should be required to have a great big sign out front that says: "Welcome to Darien, Conn., home of convicted rapist Alex Kelly."
Joe Kelly " But all I can say is Alex is one brave kid to do what he did, right or wrong." Uhh NO! Your son is a coward. He raped girls and then when faced with the consequences he ran! Those are not the actions of a brave person. You have to love idiot parents who think their kids can do no wrong, and then use their money to get them out of consequences.
Where are all these parents that are always defending their (adult) children when they're accused of crimes? My parents would give me up and disown me in a heartbeat if I was accused of something like this. It amazes me that there are so many parents on these shows who go to amazing lengths to support their children. I've never seen anything like it.
Mene Tekel I wouldn't go so far as to say that they support evil. I think they just love their children so much that they refuse to accept that he/she could do anything wrong. It's delusional. It's one thing to offer love and support to your child who has committed such a crime, which I would expect any parent to do and would do myself, but it's another to be in denial about their ability to commit such a crime and refuse to believe they would do it.
Is exactly what the guy said. People turned a blind eye to his sick ways and thats what created this monster! I hate when people think they can get away it. I dont care if they're rich, poor, black, white, blue or purple! I just hate it when people think they can get away with it. Out of all these crime episodes I've watched, this one has angered me the most!!!
Poor Dominick Dunne's daughter was murdered by a psychopath boyfriend. It enraged him that the guy strangled her to death & got hardly any time. He followed him, the guy was a chef trying to warn girls involved with him. His daughter was the actress from Poltergeist. She was his only daughter & his wife got really sick with MS or something ending up in a wheelchair. It destroyed him & their family. This is why he started writing about the entitlement of the rich that commit crimes, & have the money to hire the best defense. He hates his daughter's murderer that served a couple of years while she was taken at a young age while her career was taking off.
Well done American justice system. UK would not even bother to bring charges against this monster. Loved the narrator's last comment... 'pick up the soap pretty boy'!!
The father is completely delusional and vicious. The mother looks like she wants to throw up. The father is controlling, filled with rage, and violent. He went out of his way to marry a woman from a wealthy family who provided them their lifestyle in Darrien. Grifter.
how does that dad consider his son brave? they bankrolled him to go on an endless ski and hiking vacation!!! If that's brave I'd loath to see cowardliness. Some parents are so delusional that they enable their children to rape - maybe they too should be held accountable.
Alex was one brave kid??? His father should be ashamed of himself. Watching his parents helps me understand how this horrible serial rapist was formed.
+Cookie Petersen You can't fault Joe Kelly. He believed at the time his son was innocent (probably still does) Any father would do the same for their son
+john bishop I know if my daughter was raped, the guy who did it would die. But if I had a son who raped somebody I wouldn't forgive him, I would want him put away.
Also happened to me, Colleen, with my mother's connivance. She was paid for my favor. Ironically, as Dominick said, his good looks, charisma, and winning smile won't do him any favors where he's at
The parents should have gotten time in jail too for harboring a fugitive. And why was this muthafucka walking free during the trial without handcuffs and ankle chains when he had already eluded the law for eight years?
He only did 10 years. Then he had to wear an ankle bracelet after release & pay a $100,000 fine. Then he got in trouble harassing & grabbing people at his work at a parachute business. Now he is trying to buy an airport for his own business for 2.5 million dollars. He has the LLC papers so I guess he got the investors. His old work knew he was a felon because he wore his ankle bracelet but he was the highest paid employee doing the parachuting & videography although he did not jump tied to a female client. He still had problems making inappropriate remarks, etc.
I have watched many of these shows but none angered me more than this one. "Oh not my son, he would never do a thing like that". Helping him evade trial and giving him money which enables him to live in the lap of luxury. He laughed at everyone involved. The police, his victims, etc., there is this saying "when money walks through the front door justice walks out the back door" and it almost did. Ha, ha, big fella, you will be the victim in prison now. See how it feels? Again, ha ha.
His parents are delusional and misguided and their misdirection is the exact reason he eventually did go to prison! He would keep doing what he did until consequences did find him because he is a predator !
He is very scary! Like most sociopaths, he does not understand the contrast of him vs reality around him! He is a very scary dude.... Poor girls... their lives destroyed by rape!
Case of 'aflluenza" although term not coined at that timr. Followed this on the news when it was unfolding. 20/20 Hugh Downs and Barbara Walters and all those shows at the time. I can still recall his swedish girlfriend saying he's innocent. Wonder what ever happened to her? What about his high school sweetheart? Did she find another rich guy?
I just checked his Wikepedia. He served 10 years! Released on good behaviour, got a degree, working as a ski instructor. Both of his brother died. One, from a drug overdose, one in a car accident, all within the time frame of when he was going through his trials.
I wonder if alex rapo got raped himself when he 1st went to state prison, it would be a fitting Karma. Brave girl, the 1st rape victim for being strong and testifying 2X, and the 2nd rape victim commended for being so brave and starting the whole ball rolling. His parents should have used their wealth to help get their rapist son in to a psych ward and find out if he's a sex offender cause he can't help himself or if it's because he's just an entitled scumbag. I agree with others' comments here that they should have been charged for helping him while on the run.
Alex Kellys parents Joseph and Melanie Kelly have lost two of their three children, the oldest of the familys three sons Chris Kelly died of a drug overdose and Alex Kelly also had a younger brother named Russel Kelly (August 15, 1974 - August 9, 2004) who died in a car accident in Yellowstone National Park, MT at the age of 29 years old. Alex Kellys parents have lost two of their three children and the third one is a rapist scumbag i think the Kellys have suffered a lot but this still doesnt excuse their behavior in supporting Alex financially while he was on the run.
I just read that his older brother Chris' death was a drug overdose thought to be a suicide while Alex was on his 8 year skiing vacation. His younger brother Russ crashed a death car while drunk while Alex was incarcerated. Yet still judging by his father these parents do not look at their own actions. In their case money truely was the root of all evil. Without all the money they were sloshing about in there is a fairly good chance that they could have 3 living sons leading productive lives. How sad is it that they had three sons but can never be Grandparents?
At university, a very wealthy young lady, asked me to tutor her in French. In our chit-chat, she told me she invited a friend of her boy-friend to her bed, then decided she should not have done that, and decided again, to accuse him of rape. Then, there was another rich girl and her neurotic behavior, then the rich boy and his, and another, and another. The children of the rich often are very confused and neurotic regarding right and wrong. It's a curse that comes with the money.
I agree. These rape charges can go both ways. All the teens had been drinking. I think he was pushed by his family to be a star athlete. With athletics, come coaches and doctors. Was his behavior steroid driven?
Why TF did the parents NOT get charged with accessories after the fact??? What's "HARD" to prove about the fact that they sent him money? There's always, ALWAYS a trail when money changes hands!
