Oh no. Can't possibly be true.It was investigated by SYP and of course he is still idolised by our grannies.!! They know best.

[Bazile]

The important point here is that even if the CPS decide that there is insufficient evidence to proceed to trial , he is now tainted from here on in .

In some people's eyes it will be ' no smoke without fire '

[DTCwordfan]

Or Bazile, if a 'victim' comes forward and sues him in the civil court......

[Bazile]

indeed

Yes I agree, he will be 'tainted' whichever way it goes.

Whatever the outcome, the damage has been done.

Jackdaw - //Even if the allegation were proved to be true, this is one assault on a 15 year old boy, 31 years ago. We are not talking Jimmy Savile, Stuart Hall or Rolf Harris here. This is not in the public interest; this is a witch hunt. //

Fortunately, the validity of abuse crimes is not decided on a sliding scale - either by number, or time expired.

If it is one case yesterday, or fifty cases fifty years ago, it is one case too many, and one alleged victim who deserves to have their case investigated and the criminal - if proven - to be punished.

Well said AH.

And by the same token if the accused is found to be innocent, the accuser deserves to be publicly named and punished.

Coronation Street stars, Bill Roach (Ken Barlow) and Michael Le Vell (Kevin Webster) seemed to have survived.

You remember them in this context though, AOG. Mud sticks.

[DTCwordfan]

by keeping their heads very low, AOG, look at Christopher Jeffries - he has had to move to France and start up there, albeit with fat cheques from the Daily Wail et al.

Luckily I don't suffer from memory loss, it is a know fact that they were investigated, but every time I watch Coronation Street I don't look at these two characters and think "I wonder if"?

[naomi24]

AOG, I haven't suggested you wonder - simply that you remember the allegations made against them.
