I regret if any comments I have made in discussing the allegations against Bernie Fine have been interpreted as insensitive about child abuse, or would have caused any victim to refrain from communicating about abuse they have suffered. In all such cases, it is critical that the truth be discovered and the victim’s rights protected. I sincerely apologize if statements I have made have been otherwise construed.
