Again I say, Jim was no child molester. People who read that into it are putting their own spin on the facts.
As several fellow performers told me, girls and women buzzed around him like bees around honey. The times were very different than they are now, and you simply cannot apply today's standards to decades ago. For that matter, society has become much more vulgar and coarse in recent times than it ever was in Reeves' day. Violence permeates our media and it's no wonder it's carried over into our streets and homes.
I suspect people who are focusing on Jim's misbehavior never read the Foreword to my book or the last chapter when I address his moral failings. I suggest you go back and read them.
