Doesn't look like it's be any of the really "big" Soap names based on what's been said, mentioning role(s) plural and saying he's worked with some of the biggest stars, suggest it's not a "life-long" household name soap star (like an Ian Beale or Phil Mitchel etc.). If it was a household name it would be huge news. If it's someone who has been in a few big temporary character roles then not so much. Though the severity of the crimes is no different, obviously.

it's a really bad look for the BBC, even if it was outsourced to a production company, they will be tarnished yet again

Patrick?

I’ve heard the bbc are going to release the name tomorrow at 1 pm on its news channel

The thread door doof moment.

Maybe you can zoom in ... the point is that I didn’t ..

Well if the victim is underage then it's hard to imagine the person being accused actually being innocent.

1st Post
it is Not Zoom in

It is so big
all you had to do was move the slide over for the text.

It is Massive in size.

You use the word "if".
In the UK people are innocent until PROVEN guilty.

If you look at the title of the thread, the alleged victims are meant to be teens.

And in the UK that means that the teen boys were 13-15 years old.

And to be crude about it for a second, if the Actor's semen is found to be in a 13 year old in a place where it shouldn't be, then it's not looking good.

I normally am similar to your stance when it comes to other sorts of crimes, but potential Paedophilia tends to be easier to prove.

If it turns out that he is innocent then I do apologize, and the people making false claims are horrible people under that scenario.

As you say, "Alleged" victims.

:wavey:

We'll know the truth soon enough I guess.

If it does turn out to be complete and utter lies, then I will be angry, because it makes it harder for the justice system and future juries to know who's genuinely guilty of committing a sexual offense.

People lie. It"s a fact. How many celebrities have been accused and acquitted? Jim Davidson, Dave Lee Travis, Freddie Starr's health never recovered. Matthew Kelly, Jimmy Tarbuck, Cliff Richard... The list goes on and on. Kevin Spacey was acquitted of sexual misconduct in the UK and had his case dismissed in the USA and his career still lies in tatters.

People most certainly do lie.
I agree with all you've said there Livia.

Very strong points all through.

The worst thing, I'm sure you'll agree Joey, is that the liars make it so much harder for the people who have genuinely suffered abuse.

Absolutely.
I've always agreed with that Livia.

In fact I'd go further, I'd like to see those liars who do make false claims, punished far more severely than they currently are and that's IF they even did get punished at all.
Plus they should be named and shamed publicly too, in my view

In cases where it's undeniable that they've lied they should be punished severely, I agree.

Don't forget John Leslie, his life was ruined

Utter Rubbish from you.

Cliff Richard and Kevin Spacey are interesting ones to me, because both of their reputations are in tatters despite being found not guilty.

Something is wrong in society when two people have had their lives ruined purely off of allegations.

Mmmm Kevin Spacey was probably my favourite actor for many years BEFORE the scandals …

Plus ::::


Spacey, whose alleged misconduct was also the subject of a recent documentary called Spacey Unmasked, admitted to Morgan that he had been “too handsy” in his past, “touching someone sexually in a way that I didn’t know at the time they didn’t want.”

Instead of whining about someone being handsy they should have done what most people would have done and put him straight. I've put people straight, I'm sure a lot of women have.

He's been acquitted in courts of law in both the UK and the USA. That's good enough for me.
