A homosexual and a convicted pedophile. Who would have ever imagined
that?
We regret to inform you of some troubling lore surrounding a 1/3rd of
the folk group Peter Paul and Mary.
Some may already know but many on Twitter did not know about Peter
Yarrow’s criminal conviction. This all started when @bartleby_era was in
line for a restaurant when an old man asked to take pictures of her and
her partner because they looked “sweet together.” She did not realize it
was Peter Yarrow from Peter, Paul, and May until her waitress told her.
The tweet sparked many to talk about their encounters with Yarrow.
The creepiness is not new as Yarrow has previously been convicted of
molesting a 14-year-old. In 1970, he spent 3 months of a one-year
sentence in prison for the act. Yarrow is part of the few that have been pardoned by the president. In 1981, President Carter pardoned Yarrow for
the assault the day before he left office.
The assault is frequently brought up whenever Yarrow is in the news
supporting a cause or politician. Or whenever he gets mentioned in a
viral tweet about taking photos of couples. It all suddenly feels less
sweet knowing his past.
