if you were to believe the sensationalist screeching to date..the "victim" in question could also be charged with producing underage porn..perhaps something Mum hasn't thought about.

Also, the stepfather and mother have viewed the online "child abuse" and provided images to the BBC, apparently, so there's another couple of charges for them.

If anyone calls up a broadcaster and makes a claim about one of its employees, there's a legal procedure that must be followed. The S*n depicts this as 'dragging its heels'. It clearly isn't, but a remarkable number of dullards gleefully accept it and join in the mud-slinging.

If someone makes such a complaint, the making of the complaint is not proof in itself that the complaint is correct. Didn't we go through this with YewTree, and didn't we learn anything from it? Apparently not when it suits our agenda not to.

This wretched 'newspaper' has really been on a roll ever since it slandered an entire city about the Hillsborough tragedy. Some people continue to seem to find that funny, too. The sooner it goes the way of the News of the World the better. Shame on all its apologists.

The Internet never forgets. Bert never holds back and he keeps his receipts to go back on.

If you have a lot of staff there is going to be toss pots on the firm all you care about is can they do the job.

I don't care what people do in the bedroom as long as it's legal and no one is harmed. What pisses of the public is that the BBC is publicity funded and they also fund unsavory characters.

Operation Yewtree was a flop to a certain degree. It ruined a lot old celebrities who were innocent. Jim Davidson is a horrible, vile bloke (I have met him) but he didn't deserve to have his name marred by people who are broke and chanced their arm for a pay off by the press.

Freddie Starr was a very complex man who had many mental issues. His autobiography is very sad in places.

I still think the media killed him. www.dailymotion.com/video/x1u8zv6

Freddie was never a big drinker but when he did it did affect him. I met him once and he was a very shy but polite guy to me. He was surrounded by too many sycophants and back stabbers.

If a retired dj who worked for the BBC for a few months in the sixties and then spent the rest of his career in the commercial sector gets arrested, the S*n will have a headline saying 'BBC man shamed'. They do it every damned time.

They've also managed over the years to make a large number of people obsessed with their licence fee, whilst having no interest at all in where huge amounts of their money goes elsewhere in government spending. The same people who pay Murdoch about 70 quid every month for a package of channels they weren't allowed to choose in order to get a handful they wanted - and they've been brainwahsed into thinking that's a triumph of free choice!

And wouldn't it be interesting if all the people who work at this paper, who've been accused of being sex pests, drunks or criminals were named. Would the paper be happy to see the headlines: 'S*n newspaper shame! S*n journalist shock! Depravity at The S*n!!' I rather doubt it.

There's a video online. Kelvin McKenzie was invited to be interviewed saying how much he'd reveal about a celeb's private indiscretions. He sits there gleefully saying it's all fair game. Then they spring it on him that they know he's been cheating on his wife. Cue McKenzie flouncing out. They're sociopaths, these people.

I see that the dullards who don't know the difference between morally questionable behaviour and criminal activity are out in force.

That having been said, the main 'victim' could have put the 35 grand towards a deposit on a house rather than shoving it up his nose. So it does seem that it is the 'victim' who is guilty of criminal activity for being in possession of a Class A drug, if what has been reported is true, rather than the alleged perpetrator.

Anyway, the floodgates are open now and anyone with financial problems can now claim that they had their life ruined because HW glanced at them sideways 20 years ago.

very observant Sheba and Rick.

I agree. Great posts, Rick and Sheba.
