A Crime of the Century That Some May Have Forgotten About

When looking at Time Magazine's list of Crimes of the Century, I noticed a peculiar event involving a silent film actor by the name of Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle. The crime of the century that involved this man was a murder that resulted from forced sex. Fatty Arbuckle allegedly tried to use a beer bottle as a sex object and ended up puncturing the bladder of a young actress. Arbuckle, a successful movie star that had earned millions of dollars during his career, eventually was acquitted of the charges after appearing at three separate trials. The fact that this man murdered a woman during a rape attempt and was able to get away with it certainly shocked people around the world. His movies were then banned in the U.S. and the U.K., and all of his attempts to return to the movie industry failed.

The reason why this is considered a crime of the century is not only because of its brutal nature, but also because of the fact that there is still no certainty whether or not "Fatty" committed these acts. The woman that testified against him was named Maude Delmont, and she had a reputation for setting up famous people and blackmailing them for money. It appears that her faulty stories and accounts were what helped Arbuckle win his case. Nonetheless, his career was still ruined and he fell deep into the world of alcoholism following this scandal.
