Would you hire David Friedman as your party clown?
My understanding is that his career was destroyed by this film. Initially he was to be highlighted as New York's premiere party clown for rich kids, but once Jarecki realized his family background he reluctantly agreed to the new focus in the hope of vindicating his father and brother. Since then he has had to change his professional persona, with lesser results than his previous success.
I think Jesse was innocent, and that Arnold was innocent of the charges he plead guilty to but was guilty of molestation of his brother and family friends (per disc two of the dvd). With that, I would completely allow David Friedman to entertain my child if I could afford him. Even if his family were guilty I would likely allow it, despite his obvious denial regarding his father's inclinations. He's a bloody party clown; it's not like he is babysitting my child unsupervised...
