Oh just leave the guy alone. Never met the man, heard all the stories, some very juicy. As an Edinburgh resident myself I'm probably one of the few who choose not to believe the rumours and hearsay. Yes he had young men living with him. So what? The guys I saw with him around town looked like young waifs and strays but certainly not children. I'm guessing the book about him coming out is by a spurned lover looking for his pay day. Its best i leave things there.

you have to wonder how people get their degrees these days. So many around with conspiracy theories that would rival David Sticke.

# they keep promoting this claptrap that police were never interested or unable to investigate claims of abuse in the past.

It's complete B/S..cops have only been too willing to seize on any claim about a famous person, especially since the 1960s and the pop/rock explosion.

Paton was clearly into rent boys who only too willingly sold themselves.

Now they want compensation for choosing to lead, or having lead by circumstance,a life of dissolution. A life of petty crime can be excused and all blamed on selling their bodies, possibly for some free dope.
