Re:Exit the octopus - enter the Cobra!!!! 2 Years ago
While grabbing someone's arse or cock is rightly illegal, if Spacey had been a postman who did this 20 years ago, can anyone imagine the "victim" coming forward after all this time, putting themselves through a trial, because their bum was pinched?
It sounds like Spacey was a bloody pest - we have all met them - but this is a new class of retrospective crime that is aimed at the famous.
It just doesn't happen to the non-famous for this level of alleged offence.
I was groped a fair few times when younger. Imagine how my friends and family would react now if I told them I had reported the guy or gal who pinched my bum 20 years ago at a party to Police...
They would assume I was off my rocker and probably having a breakdown...

I was groped a lot during work Wyot by both sexes, I actually hated it. Especially when carrying glasses, a nasty accident could of happened if I dropped the glasses.
