Re: Abusers

The worrying thing about all this is that a few well known celebrities are being thrown to the wolves, so to speak, but what about those in the higher echelons, government, high society, judges etc etc, many of whom there have been rumours about in the past, will they too be weeded out and questioned? Somehow I doubt it.

I agree, all abusers should be brought to justice but I can't help thinking that after all these years when nobody has spoken out before, the compensation syndrome has a great deal to do with it.

Re: Abusers

the court has many things to consider:

1. was it legal rape of a minor?
2. was it consensual sex with a non-minor?
3. was the girl lying?
4. was the man lying?
etc etc etc

I'm glad I'm not a victim of this particular case, comments like these would just add to my torment ...

Re: Abusers

Just realised Stuart Hall will be sentenced using the sentences of the time the crimes were committed so may only get a year or two and take into account his age and frailty may not even get that.

Not quite sure what I think about that. Seems a lot of money spent getting him to court if he cannot be punished.

Yep - he'll get off light - at least he's been named and 'shamed' for what he is ... have to be consoled with that !
