How do you know that he was falsely accused? Were you with him on the dates that the alleged offences occurred. I guess not, therefore you're just blindly believing his word, like the jury blindly believed the alleged victims.

This is one of their cases were they were 2 people together and no witnesses.
All we know that he promised her stardom, showered her with gifts and took pictures but we don't know what pictures he took of her. what does 'inappropriate' mean in this case ? If they were not rude or porn then I'm confused here.
He admits touching her to help breath to sing better but what what else he did we the public do not know the truth and media does tell little white lies no doubt the parents would tell the child to do to gain more publicity.

From what I read, he took some sexy pictures that may have been 'inappropriate' (to use that terrible American description), but it is implied that they were not nude or pornographic. Yet he's going to get done for making child porn?
We can have no idea if he is guilty of the assault. It's her word against his, but with the 'inappropriate pics' then of course he's going down.

Personally, I think it's very difficult to get to the truth of something like this.
Mr Bethell has taken some wholly inappropriate pictures, but I wouldn't put it past the police to encourage this young girl to exhaggerate what he did so they could get a 'celebrity' conviction.
Innocent Accused

I myself am currently going through a set of false allegations.JK was falsely accused.Good enough reason to assume there are others.
