and his explanation, that he just happened to open the door naked when the girls knocked on his hotel room door, is basically the one that SNL had Teddy Kennedy suggest to Clarence Thomas in that skit about the Anita Hill hearings. anyway, here is the Rolling Stones account of Peter's sexual escapades.

That same year, however, Yarrow found himself in a Washington, D.C., courthouse pleading guilty to taking “immoral and improper liberties” with a child. A 14-year-old girl named Barbara Winter claimed that Yarrow had invited her and her 17-year-old sister to meet him at his hotel room. He answered the door naked and made Winter masturbate him until he ejaculated while her sister watched.

“It happened when I was just an innocent child,” Winter told The Washington Post in 2021. “I didn’t know anything. I was just a little girl that liked to play with her friends.”

During the court hearings in his criminal case, Yarrow tried to argue that Winter was a willing participant in the incident. At his sentencing, the folk singer’s lawyer reportedly called the Winter sisters “groupies,” while stating that Yarrow was seeking psychological treatment and that his condition had improved since his marriage to McCarthy. The singer ultimately pleaded guilty and was sentenced to one-to-three years in prison, but the judge suspended most of it. He ended up serving less than three months, securing an early release on Nov. 25, 1970, so he could be home for Thanksgiving.

“It was an era of real indiscretion and mistakes by categorically male performers,” Yarrow once said. “I was one of them. I got nailed. I was wrong. I’m sorry for it.”

Winter’s parents also brought a civil suit against Yarrow, which they eventually settled. In the suit, they claimed that the singer had seduced Winter’s older sister, Kathie Berkel, as well, starting when she was 14. (In that 2021 Post story, Berkel called these claims “lies.” She also cast doubt on Winter’s own allegations, saying, “I can’t say for sure [what happened], because I wasn’t in the room … she was in the room by herself with him for five minutes, and I was right outside.”)

Just over a decade later, Yarrow received a presidential pardon from Jimmy Carter, who granted the musician’s request on the last day of his term, Jan. 19, 1981. (The following day, Ronald Reagan was inaugurated and the news was flooded with reports of the hostages from the U.S. embassy in Iran finally coming home.) In his pardon application, Yarrow described his abuse of Winter as “the most terrible mistake I have ever made,” and said he sought the pardon so he would be better able to explain the incident to his children.

“It is my hope they will see a balanced picture, one that understands that their daddy did something very wrong but also one that asserts that their daddy has also done much for society to eliminate want and inequality where he saw it,” Yarrow wrote at the time. When Winter’s mother heard of the pardon, she reportedly started shouting, “He got away with it! He got away with it!”

Additional allegations against Yarrow would surface decades later. In 2021, an anonymous woman sued Yarrow under New York’s Child Victims Act, which offered victims of child abuse a new window to take legal action against their alleged abusers. The woman claimed that in 1969, while still a minor, she ran away from her home in Minnesota and traveled to New York to meet Yarrow at a hotel, where he raped her. Yarrow allegedly sent her back home with a plane ticket the next morning. (A settlement in the case was reached a few months after it was filed.)

Then, in its 2021 exposé, The Washington Post uncovered a wire report in a Cincinnati newspaper about Yarrow’s 1970 conviction that included an additional note claiming a “similar charge” against the folk singer was “ignored” by a local grand jury three years prior. A father had signed a complaint accusing Yarrow of taking “indecent liberties” with his 15-year-old daughter when Yarrow was in town for a concert in 1967. The father said Yarrow “fondled his daughter when she went to his dressing room seeking his autograph.”

Winter, speaking of her own experience in that Post story, said: “What you carry with you for the rest of your life — it never goes away,” she said. “Despite what people think, it doesn’t go away. You block it out because you’re forced to. You have no other choice but to block it out.”

Over the decades, Yarrow’s conviction was largely ignored in the public sphere. On the occasions he was asked about it, he expressed regret and remorse, while also standing by his pardon. “You don’t get a presidential pardon if you’re not doing great work, have paid your debts to society,” he reportedly told the Baltimore Jewish Times in 2006 (via The Post).

In 2019, amidst the #MeToo movement, organizers removed Yarrow from the lineup of a New York folk festival after the allegations against him resurfaced. In response, Yarrow said he fully supported “the current movements demanding equal rights for all and refusing to allow continued abuse and injury — most particularly of a sexual nature, of which I am, with great sorrow, guilty.”

He continued: “I do not seek to minimize or excuse what I have done, and I cannot adequately express my apologies and sorrow for the pain and injury I have caused in this regard. However, beyond any of my words and feelings expressed, I will walk the walk, do all I can to make amends, and dedicate myself to helping bring more justice and peace to the world.”

Seems like he was dating the 17 year old sister for 6 months and told her to scoop up her 14 year old sister from church one day and come find him. Wasn't a random incident. He just wanted a handy from his gfs younger sister. The victim here got pimped out by her own sister. Older sister told the Washington Post that this was all hogwash and to move on. Also admitted that Yarrow "had a problem" with lusting after teenage girls but that he "got help" from a shrink and grew out of it.

This is all very Jewish imo. He must have done this a lot of times but only one chick wasn't cool with it. This had to have happened a lot.
