Tried to bring this up on the thread, didn\'t get a response, but nonetheless there\'s no context to the examples here, so snipping. Ernie could be the closest to this given his taking advantage of Tommy for molestation and later for profit; but then again we have Tommy\'s father being the cause of Tommy\'s mental state, so I\'m not sure if there\'s exactly a heinous standard...
