I never called Charlie Chaplain a child molester! I would think (though I am not certain) that those 15 and 16 year old girls and their families knew what they were getting (marrying) into. Beside, Charlie Chaplain was heterosexual; and, in our culture heterosexual men do not often face the same kind of criticism a gay or transgender person would face when dating a teen. The fact that the two most famous men in Hollywood to be accused of child molestation would share the same song is merely coincidence, or irony, perhaps. Charlie Chaplain was (in my opinion) a genius. Michael Jackson was a great entertainer. Diana had her charities, but she was hardly a "Peace radical". Lennon, on the other hand, promoted peace. Yes, Lennon imagined!
