Didn’t want to get too in the Mn weeds in the Weinstein thread, but suzy’s post there made me want to Google and check up on past Children’s Theater School offenders.
Didn’t realize that Jason McLean - owner of Varsity Theater, Loring Pasta Bar, Loring Cafe (where I spent time and did plays in the 90s), is on the run:

The Midwest is, in fact, fairly frequently written about, but almost always in a way that weirdly disclaims the possibility that it has ever been written or thought about before.

MPR interviewed nearly every person they could possibly interview, and they decided divorcing themselves from him was justified as far as I've read? I mean, this was the result after mediation:
On January 23, 2018, MPR reported further on the investigation after interviewing almost 60 people who had worked with Keillor. The story described other alleged sexual misconduct by Keillor, and a $16,000 payment to a woman who was asked to sign a confidentiality agreement to prevent her from talking about her time at MPR (she refused and never deposited the check).
He still has his Writer's Almanac thing, they just decided not to distribute it for him anymore.
― mh, Wednesday, 7 February 2018 21:43 (six years ago) link
yes, the initial public disclosure-response cycle of this thing was heavily colored by the station's relative tight-lipped approach about what they had found -- at first stated only 1 person complaining -- and keillor's description of 'putting a hand on a back'
more recently a fuller description of MPR's investigation and what they turned up looks a lot uglier

in case anyone's in the market, the house down the road from where i grew up is for sale
iirc no one actually lived in it when i was a kid, and it was known throughout the township as 'the castle'. trespassing there to merely see it was a rite of passage. i went there once with my friend and my dog and we rang a bell that was for some reason built into the west end of the building, and the groundskeeper came out and yelled at us. my dog got into it with his, and ultimately we high-tailed it out of there before he could call our parents. then we walked home along the railroad bed next to the river. this concludes my YA coming of age story.
