Therefore,it would seem to be a non starter anyway, he,it is rumoured,is threatening to sue over this issue,(I hope he does), and really it does bring into question any info going out as to police activities concerning someone after allegations are made.

The sad thing is allegations,even untrue and unfounded ones, cause immeasurable stress and inconvenience to people who likely have not done anything to answer for anyway.
I think that is the case with Cliff and it really does no service whatsoever to genuine cases of abuse when people come forawrd with false allegations.

I also believe, this with Prince Andrew will also turn out to be unfounded and it is really annoying that people get dragged through the mud in the press, when it is far from certain that there is even any reason to be reporting on the issue anyway, at a particular time.

Agreed Joey,it must be awful to live with the stigma of abuse if you are innocent,some people make their minds up at the first mention of a name,for example,Cliff will always have this hanging over him now,jokes will be made and it's so unfair if someone is innocent,is it so hard for the press to keep their mouths shut until at least after anything is confirmed?
