I'm a bit disgusted by the nonchalance with which a man's reputation can be sullied in a document released to the internet by Duarte Levy.
I'm a bit perplexed that having witnessed such an aberration supposedly directed toward an infant ... wasn't there something about finger sucking too? the supposedly concerned adult allowed bathing arrangements for the children to proceed unhindered.
It is precisely that detail that causes me to call into question,
not so much Mrs Gaspar; more, the accuracy of the statement attributed to her we read on line.
How many mothers, harbouring suspicions about a man Mrs Gaspar, by the statement we read
on line, harboured against DP, would allow him
anywhere near her daughter, let alone allow him to bath her?
I suggest, not many.
Amaral's version of the statement (of Mrs Gaspar's) in his book does not reflect what her statement (as we read it on line) says.
And I am far from convinced that the words ascribed to Mrs G (in the on-line statement) reflect what she said.
