Feminist lawyer Gloria Allred shares Fleiss's anger. "To single out a woman for prosecution while a male customer is free to continue to act with impunity is a classic case of gender bias," she argues. Los Angeles attorney Shelly Mandell notes that California's 1983 pandering law was crafted with male pimps in mind, then asks, "How many men have been convicted of pandering in Los Angeles and are serving mandatory prison time?" Suzanne Childs, speaking for the L.A. district attorney's office, says such statistics are not readily available. Offhand, she recalls only one man doing time...
...large population of the poor, cut off from government help and thrown onto the meager capabilities of private charity -- it's not a pretty picture. "I see a lot of anger and bitterness," warns Doris Bloch, executive director of the Los Angeles Regional Foodbank, where donations are down 41% this year.

Silent and introspective, Kevin is the perfect victim and foil for this brutal priest. The bruises which appear on the young boy's face become a map with disturbing clues to the extent to which his body and soul have been violated by Father Lavin...
...difficulties of facing the past and the personal memories which have since been either healed or deeply repressed. The film enters Kevin's present-day existence, as well as those of the other victims of the orphanage. Their responses to their years in St. Vincent range significantly, from anger and resignation to revenge. The wide span of emotions testifies to the moral ambiguities involved in re-examining the case so many years later. As the film makes clear, there are no clear-cut answers to dealing with this painful territory of the past...
