Breaking News: The Met Opera suspended James Levine, its famed conductor, after three men accused him of sexually abusing them when they were teenagers

The general manager of the Met announced that the company was suspending its four-decade relationship with James Levine and canceling his upcoming conducting engagements after receiving questions about the accounts of the three men, who described a series of similar sexual encounters beginning in the late 1960s.

The Met has also asked an outside law firm to investigate Mr. Levine’s behavior.

So now were going to go back 50 years for stories of molesters? This is crap, where is the limit, 100 years?

I did something 108 years ago that I'm not proud of, therefore I am not even going to think about running for POTUS.

Probably totally consensual at the time, but now that you're rich and successful.... I was offended back then!

I cannot believe how cavalier you people are. This is not a case of he said/she said...James Levine is an alleged PEDOPHILE. These were little boys he had sex with. The last police report is from 2016 I think.

So, in other words, The Metropolitan Opera staff and board of directors knew about this sick behavior for years and did absolutely nothing. This is a major scandal and at the very least, the board of directors should be fired to a man- the current director needs to leave, and James Levine needs to go to jail.

1014 you call for this man Levine to be incarcerated but you have no problem with the Podesta brothers walking around free? Hmmmm, interesting.

No, I want the Podesta brothers jailed if guilty as well. I have no problem with the Podesta brothers running free? Christ? What is your problem? Are you seriously that much off a jerk that you assume things about people without meeting them that much?

10:14 is right, how do you idiots know that he has not been given a cover up for years. This is exactly why people don't report it. Kids probably have suffered well into adulthood and are now trying to fix a problem that has been haunting them for years. If you have not survived this situation then you should shut up and stop judging them!
