I see your point up to a point Albie.
If you ask to live in a group, you have to be prepared to fit in with the group... at least slightly. Nobody was asking him to change his sexuality, just to keep his hands to himself a bit. If it had been a 37 year old man refusing to stop pawing a 18 year old girl, the papers would have been running a very different story!!!!
When he was politely asked not to continually grope Glyn, he refused point blank to even try! Think about how hard that conversation must have been for Glyn to go through. In my book, that makes the guy a lecherous old perv.
Not sure what a gripper is... but Shabaz was deffo a groper
