Because of people like LeatherTrumpet who immediately call her a liar?

Fine, my stats have no bearing. But neither do your claims that she's only saying this now because she is desperate. That's just guesswork.

Your stats prove nothing , her baseless claim so far on, naming noone does more harm than good.

My guess is she did not bother about it, and her career was far more important. Now, looking back it's different, but it's just that, lookin back

Easy game that

So am I not allowed to 'have a guess', then? Because my stats prove nothing? What do your guesses prove?

Yes please guess but accept that is all it is

both alternatives are plausible without the mans name so he can put his side of the story forward

She would have literally nothing to gain from making a story up and not naming the falsely accused directly.

Congratulations on being part of the reason for why victims don’t come forward to begin with.

She never claimed the stats proved anything.

You asked for more information on mont's claim that assault/harassment is "more common than a lot of people realise" nothing to do with proving whether Fern Britton's claim is true or not.

You're climbing a very high horse with your requests for proof and statistics despite only offering "desperate" as your own response to the story.

Sadly people got away with all that **** in the past...and it was one persons word against another...now we have cameras that no one can hide from.

Obviously no one knows if it’s for real but i can certainly believe it.
Specially back then.
She wouldn’t be coming out with it now if she wasn’t going to reveal the name.Maybe it’ll be in a book or an exclusive with a paper or mag in the near future.

Yes, she would. It's a huge conversation now, allowing people to discuss their own experiences.

I highly doubt she's going to put any names in the press now as it's unlikely anything can be proven 30 years on.

Maybe the culprit has died?
