How come experienced prosecutors could not elicit the truth BEFORE the case got to the Old Bailey ?
What damages has this now done to the lads involved ?
One of my earliest memories ( apart from fainting when I was just about to see our glorious Her Majesty ) was a game of
"you show me yours and I'll show you mine !" with 2 girls. We were about 8/9.
I was conned-dropped my dacks and showed them my tiny worm. These girls tricked me-they didn't fufull their part of the bargain and ran off giggling (admitedly they probably had good reason to)
But it was a different age when such nonsense was just common childhood games. I doubt it affected me , certainly not more than the following week when a six inch house nail went right through my foot (I know what it's like to be crucified
!)
How much of this absurd tale is due to the current hysteria. We seem to be teaching children from an early age that anything sexual is shameful and dirty. I hope these kids aren't psycholgicaly damaged.
