I don't understand the sarcasm in your post. Do I at any point try to defend him? Where else could she go? The Bahamas? Was there any need for that? Why didn't you put something like...Maybe she did come forward but was ignored. I'm just making a point here but if you want to start getting sarky and snipey then lets go for it.

I guess without knowing all of the facts it's hard to speculate too much on it, it does seem to be a long time in coming if it happened back in 1967. I wonder though, that since all of these allegations about TV stars are coming out all of a sudden, is it that the Police are revisiting claims that were made about these people a longtime ago that may not have been dealt with properly at the time?

..what I don't understand is if this was all so prevalent in the 60/70s..and maybe it was 'swept under the carpet' more then or people were deterred from pursuing it for whatever the reasons...then should there now not be more cases coming to light about ordinary people and not just well known people..

Hardly sarky, you misread my meaning. the Bahamas comment was in response to your One Strike rule. I just wondered IF he was found guilty of raping a 15 year old (when he was in his 30s) what would you do with him?

It's not me who has a one strike rule its a number of people I was discussing this with in another thread. I think you were one of those people so its doubly confusing as to why you wrote that. One strike whether he is 30, 50 or 80 according to many people, but that is not my personal point of view.
