A post I saw on another site...

And there's much, much more to the story than people know, even those who DO know about it.

Nathan has been revealing some of the details - in public, so it's not breaking confidentiality.

There was no "single event", as Salva's protector claimed, during the filming of "Clownhouse". Coppola said: "You have to remember, while this was a tragedy, that the difference in age between Victor and the boy was very small. Victor was practically a child himself!" Salva had actually been abusing Nathan for 6 years. It began when Nathan was aged 6. It ENDED when Nathan was 12 and when Salva was surprised with the arrest. Salva met Nathan at his work place. A child-care center.

There are more known victims. Only Nathan's parents pushed on to the point of prosecution. They wanted to see justice. Nothing that Coppola financed was able to stop them, not even the lawsuit for 5 million dollars that Coppola finally hit them with when other threats didn't work.
