I'm much more interested in why he frequented The Elm Guest House 'brothel' where young boys were raped and one or two possibly murdered.

You know this for fact, do you?

If you don't, it would be wrong to smear a person.

Given the recent and, seemingly, ongoing celebrity plague I assumed he was dead.

Another thread link clicked for nought.

David Crompton ,Chief Superintendent of South Yorkshire Police Force, suspended for the dubious part he apparently played in the Hillsborough enquiry.The same character who doubtless organized the mob handed raid and tipped off the BBC,when they raided the singers home, over two years ago.

Let he without guilt throw the first stone.

The Guest House party list which he is included on from back in the 80's could be made up I suppose but as many names on it have since been 'outed' as pederasts/paedophiles or just simply gay then whoever wrote it was very lucky indeed with their guesses.

Do you think it is made-up?

Well, no one with any credible claim has come forward so far in nearly 2 years, so that doesn't seemed to have been a very productive method for them, but has managed to ruin his life and reputation. Would trial by media be acceptable for any other crime?

Don't say that to Simon Cowell. It will be a Saturday night reality TV show before you know it

Seeing as no one can say with certainty what happened there, would suggest erring to the side of caution on this one.

There have been a stream of fantatists, loons and money grabbers who have come out of the woodwork and tarnished the names of people by falsely accusing them. For example the treatment of a frail, Lord Brittan was disgraceful.

Hope you are right Becky.

They've caught some wrong 'uns and everybodys fair game.
(probably looked at him with doe like eyes and was asking for it though)

I don't think anyone is actually above suspicion, given what has come out, but I agree that to so degree there is a focus on this in the media that is unfair on those who have been accused, but the police need to build cases, find witnesses etc.

Its not like every single one of those convicted didn't call their accusers fantasists and liars, only to then be sent down for child rape.

It was, but he definitely could have done something about the dossier he was handed in the 80s as well on abuses in West Minster. Definitely the kind of thing you'd follow up on maybe, rather than just forget about for 20 odd years.

The way he was treated in his last days was disgusting but his rather dismissive approach to being handed such information and not paying any further interest in was disgusting as well.

Well that may not actually be the case, a number of accused weren't named until they appeared in court on charges, and further evidence or witnesses might well be kept out of the media pending outcome of other cases etc or by gagging orders from the court.

There hasn't exactly been a witch hunt of Cliff Richard either. Just that there seems to be an ongoing case. The CPS received a file from the police at the end of last year, but that could be months before they brought charges - In a case like this its essential for them to be through and sure before proceeding.

People can't have it both ways, either the job is done properly or rushed, and the CPS would need to look into everything.

Agree they are damned if the do and damned if they don't. Ignore accusations and if they turn out to be true there is uproar. Arrest innocent people and there's uproar too. Just because there's not enough evidence to secure a conviction and thus charges aren't brought doesn't mean someone didn't do what they have been accused of. Not particularly referring to any one person but people in general

But until they have been thorough and sure of there being a case to answer, and an arrest made and charges brought, then I hold that everyone, whatever the crime, has a right to remain anonymous. Innocent until PROVEN guilty, not tarred for life by association or accusation!

As a close family friend, i have said it before on these boards, he is innocent. Sadly, in this day and age, you can accuse anyone famous of anything and you are guilty and the damage is done.


Is there something you want to tell us ?
