Another woman has come forward to say that Bill Conlin, the Hall of Fame baseball writer and former Philadelphia Daily News columnist, sexually assaulted her when she was a child.
The woman, who asked not to be identified, said Conlin repeatedly abused her when she was about 7 and lived in the Whitman Square section of Washington Township, Gloucester County. She was a childhood friend of Conlin's son, Peter, and often spent time at his house nearby. It was there, she said, that Conlin molested her.
She is the fifth person to tell The Inquirer that Conlin assaulted her. On Tuesday, Conlin retired from the Daily News hours before The Inquirer reported that three women and a man said Conlin had abused them when they were children in the 1970s.

Every day there's another one. Some say that the Penn State scandal is causing people to come forward who have kept silent for years and years. But this is simply amazing. Not just common idiots and perverts, but people of stature. What the hell is wrong with this world that people feel free to behave this way? Are the end times upon us? I wonder...
