It especially bugs me because he was caught in a raid of a porno theater. People act like he was caught in an ordinary movie theater, because the zeitgeist has no room for details.
That wasn't all that happened though. The arrest happened in July, and then in September, when he appeared at the Video Music Awards, he was given a standing ovation. He was making a comeback until 2002, when he was wrongly arrested on child pornography charges, and then retired to take care of his father.
I think after having his reputation ruined twice was enough to convince him to lay low.
