[Black Dagger]

I bet it was that Norris who grassed him up!!!!!

[Shaun]

wasn't he in the news recently for some form of indecency?

[MeMyselfAndI]

Will he lose his job?

[Nedusa]

Is this part of the Coronation street Plot or is this real...???

[MTVN]

Jesus

[Jordan.]

Again

[Scarlett.]

wasn't he in the news recently for some form of indecency?

He was arrested for child sex offences once before, but apparently cleared, turns out the bastard wasnt cleared after all.

[Omah]

I have no idea who he is, but those are serious charges ..... :idc:

[Kizzy]

They must have been gathering evidence if he's been re-arrested?

[Mrluvaluva]

19 offences?? Bloody hell.

[Cherie]

he must have employed a top solicitor who got him off first time round :bawling:

Rape of a child

[Ryan57]

D:

Gutted. And totally shocked.

[Scarlett.]

he must have employed a top solicitor who got him off first time round :bawling:
First time around, he was never charged, there wasnt enough evidence, for the case to come back, they must have found some serious proof.

[bbfan1991]

OMG:o.

[Nedusa]

This case is not as straightforward as one might think, all the charges refer to one person and as the CPS decided there was not enough evidence a year ago what has now changed since no new allegations have arisen? This would appear to be a case of my word against your word hardly enough to convict in a court of law beyond a reasonable doubt.

I wonder if the recent Jimmy Savile debacle has had some influence on the CPS to change their view on this.

Either way I would imagine even with no charges his role on Coronation Street is probably now at an end...!!

It could be that more evidence has come to light? I thought that for the CPS to bring charges there has to be more than just one word against another? Although I may be wrong on that.

You are right though the recent allegations and uproar caused by the saville case may have caused them to look more closey at this case.

:idc:Are all these charges on the same child? And he's pleading not guilty eh? WTF if the kid is lying about being raped 6 times then lock them up instead but if he's guilty then he's going away for a very very long time.

I bet it was that Norris who grassed him up!!!!!
