Shock! Horror! Stars slept with groupies and some were under age!

And the Pope (pervert) is Catholic.

What I'd like to know is - did times really change that fast? If not certain Rock Stars from the 90s must be quaking in their boots.

And as for those shady, seedy characters hiding in the wings, feasting on the stars' leftovers... watch those managers, pluggers, agents and Public Relations people get allegations made against them.

Some claims will be false allegations by older women saying they were younger. Some will be true - predators did like young girls. Some will be a bit of both.

I don't think it's times have changed so fast. It's more a case of there aren't any larger than life celebrities, managers & agents around...Most seem to be namby pamby, boring idiots today...Don't they? They seem to talk a load a bollocks, without having any balls to stand up for themselves, or even do anything slightly off handed, anyway.

there is a difference between groupies and vulnerable troubled girls from care homes tho, eh? If only there was a precedent for presenters and musicians abusing their position of trust with impressionable teens.

And there is sometimes a difference between how people consider themselves when young and how they see their young selves when older - or do you not agree?

You were in your late 30's early 40's at the time of the allegations against you and Jimmy Savile was in his 50's when some of the Jim'll Fix stories took place. There is an attraction to the beauty of youth but there are laws governing the age under which sexual activity is unlawful.

And you should not break the law - except when all gay sex was illegal and then any gay sex under 21... or do you think gay men should have obeyed the law in the 60s and remained celibate?

and who drives that attraction to beautiful youth ?..why the media of course.

I;ve heard there was once a newspaper that published naughty topless pics of underage girls but I may be mistaken.

I think one factor here is : huge numbers of 70/80s pop/rock stars would have it off with groupies not knowing their age and undoubtedly broke the law.

But most-like everyone else settles down with one partner, has a family and so on.

Others like Savile remain a bachelor and face the music.( well he didn't)

Odd though that the USA was just the same yet we hear of few cases like the Savile one.
Completely unconnected of course to the fact there is no government compensation for victims.
