[i]A former serviceman and miner who sexually assaulted four girls in south Wales between 1949 and 1973 has been jailed for 11 years.

Another historic abuse case in which 'guilty' is the conclusion as the victims 'must be believed'. Despite this man denying all the charges and maintaining his innocence. This was described by police as the 'oldest charges to be heard in a UK court' going back to 1949. The last alleged assault took place in 1973.

This kind of case makes me deeply uneasy if we listen to the man in which he vehemently denies any wrong doing describing his accusers of being 'in collusion' with one another.

Ho do we know the victims are not in collusion, considering these crimes are over 40 years old>? and how do the jury arrive at a verdict with this fact hovering over such a case?[/quote]
