This site presents television and newspaper archives documenting Frithjof Schuon\u2019s indictment, and its dismissal, in 1991. Schuon was indicted by a grand jury for child molestation on October 15, 1991 and the indictments were dismissed by the prosecutor a month later on November 20, 1991. Schuon (1907-1998) is best known for a philosophy described by the title of his first book, The Transcendent Unity of Religions<\/em>.<\/p>\r\n A number of online \u201cdossiers,\u201d blogs, and sites contain inflammatory accusations against the philosopher. In the American judicial system, the dead cannot be defamed. Thus, there are no legal remedies to what appear to be libelous accusations. To complicate matters, newspaper and television accounts are relatively inaccessible because they are in archives created before the era of online, digital media. The intention of this site is to provide unbiased, independent, contemporaneous accounts of the facts of Schuon\u2019s legal ordeal and to allow readers to form their own conclusions.<\/p>\r\n Television accounts<\/p>\r\n The Frithjof Schuon indictment led to a number of television news reports, as well as interviews with Schuon himself. The video clips below appeared in a documentary shown on two television stations in December 1991:<\/p>\r\n In this first video clip, Schuon discusses his legal ordeal of 1991 with a newspaper reporter. It also provides some background on the development and dismissal of the indictment, and includes video clips that were shown on local stations immediately after the indictment:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n
