On the day that the weather man, Fred Talbot was found guilty of sex offences with boys, this odious creature has been charged with similar offences :::::

The heroes of our youth agc !

[agchristie]

Yes Mikey! It's such a disappointment :-(

all the x celebrities mentioned, seemed like kind genuine people on tv
back the the day, i remember them well, although i thought king seemed odd though, their careers are gone and reputations...good
i hope it sends a message to other celebs to keep your hand to yourself..less you end up like the x celebs mentioned here.

Since King was only interested in boys, I think that we can safely assume that he could be correctly described as a homosexual paedophile?

[gingejbee]

...and, for consistency, all those interested in only girls, you'd call heterosexual paedophiles......

[ladybirder]

This has been argued so many times on here. Paedophiles are sexually aroused by extreme youth, not gender.

Just because some academic holds a certain opinion and it is printed by a leftist newspaper, doesn't make that opinion right.

Even you took this statement from that article : "Paedophiles are sexually aroused by extreme youth, not gender".

King was only attracted to boys, full stop.

The article also said this "Gregory Herek, a research psychologist at the University of California, defines pedophilia as “a psychosexual disorder"

Seems if it was left to him paedophilia should no longer be classes an illegal offence.

I thinkt the point being made is that paedophilia is about sexual attraction to prepubescent children, not teenagers. So homosexual or not, not a paedophile by definition.

AOG....I think the correct term for King is a Hebephiliac :::

But I don't want to get into any nit-picking about medical terms.....as long as he is convicted and put behind bars, they cam call him what they like.

[ladybirder]

I'm not doing to argue with you AOG, it's too hot. There are plenty of other sources that will confirm what I have said and it has been argued so many times on here over the years. Up to you whether you believe it or not. But I do thank you for taking the trouble to read the article:-)

Only if they were male ginge, only if they were male.

// "The only apology I have is to say that I was good at seduction. I was good at making myself seem attractive when I wasn't very attractive at all" //

that sounds like a quote from the Payola scandal
( a thousand ABers say " payoia whatsle ?")

In the seventies mothers complained about their unruly 15 y olds queuing outside gigs "but mum I want to be a star..."
and were told that if their wayward offspring wished to sleep with DJs there was nothing anyone could do - they were in charge of their own lives....

15 y o grils, I mean
15 y o lads were in need of more protection being a lot more gormless

sozza ( irony klaxon sounds)

// Mikey,me too! I used to laugh when Rolf would laugh whilst drawing his pictures on Cartoon Time!//

no I recollect him doing a cartoon with a three prong tinker bell thing whilst that awful so-and-so sang about 'ma ding a ling'

and thought the whole thing was so vomit making that I quite went off Top of the Slops ( and had a spazzie)
