Talk:Bill Tilden
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
--Inappropriate subheading-- "Prison terms" is an inaccurate subheading. The section is not primarily about prison terms, as indeed Tilden was incarcerated for surprisingly short periods. His pedophilia is a "given" as anyone who has read Deford's biography is aware. I attempted to correct the subheading to "Arrests for Pedophilia" and added information from DeFord's biography clarifying his last incarceration, but someone removed it. soverman 06:45 (UTC) 10/02/06

- He was sentenced to a year in prison and served 7 1/2 months.
-
- He was arrested again on Jan. 28, 1949, after picking up a 16-year-old hitchhiker and making advances. The new charge could have been prosecuted as a felony, but the judge merely sentenced Tilden to a year on his probation violation and let the punishment for the new molesting charge run concurrently. He served 10 months

- If you had bothered to read the above two paragraphs, you would have seen that the length of the terms served were already there. You simply added the same info again. Hayford Peirce 18:58, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
