I knew you would pick up on that..
Point the finger straight back at the victim, makes me sick.
Things were not different at all... there were preditory child molesters then just like there are now.
You are missing the point, this is no longer about the dead old perv but the failings that enabled him to feed his sick urges.
How did he get into positions of power? who gave him so much responsibility? why didn't anyone listen to the concerns raised in the 70's at the BBC?
To suggest to an abuse victim 'theres no use crying over spilt milk' would be shocking!

Why.. is there some problem that it is very much a possibility that people would in fact blackmail JS? It is a possibility. Grab a sick bowl if you feel ill... but don't try to be smart Kiz, when there is a certain degree of truth to what I have said: you may not like it... but it's there.

Unfortunately as the man is dead, he can't put over his side - that's the only problem.

I'm missing no point. I'm willing to consider ALL possible scenarios and not just find myself a seat on the cart drawing the horse, with me chewing on a bit of straw.

I'm willing to consider all aspects of what may have been involved - all the more so when the person is not here to say if things have been completely blown out of proportion.

Re your last comment there.

You think then that those persons - say they were Black and were treated abyssmally by white people in the 60's.... you think it's acceptable for them to now come forward?

We learn from past mistakes and move forward. We don't drudge and live our lives in the past.
