Is It Just Coincidence?

[chrissa1]

That, Rolf Harris, Dave Lee Travis and William Roach are all appearing today in Southwark and Preston Crown Courts?

[jno]

Rolf is just pleading, the other two trials are beginning.

One woman was "assaulted live on Top of the Pops", the court is told.

[chrissa1]

Is the footage available, Steve.5?

[jno]

I haven't seen that. No idea what the answer might be. Did nobody notice, or was it just that nobody cared?

[chrissa1]

Oh dear.

It said on the TV news at lunchtime that something similar happened during a DLT TOTP - you can apparently see the girl's expression changing as he does whatever it's alleged he did.

chrissa1; if you type in the searchbar, Jimmy Saville shame; girl-molesting live on top of the pops, you can see the sky news report and video of the incident.

Could it be that the Courts have only just come back from their Xmas and New Year recess ? There is another post in the News section today regarding Freddie Starr also appearing today,

But, surely, thousands must have appeared today in Court who nobody knows from Adam ? Aren't these 3 ( or 4 ) being talked about here and other places, because they are famous ?

Also Mikey a little bit of me thinks that if all this Jimmy Saville business hadn't come to light then neither would all these cases.

[jno]

they've arrested Freddie Starr again. Is it time they actually took him to court?

[mikey4444]

Grumpy...yes you are right !

Couldn't quite see what DLT might have been doing to that girl on TOTP in the clip shown on the news. Looks like he just had his arm round her.

Were these incidences not reported at the time - its now 40/50 years later - why?
