Stripped of his knighthood I hope and the painting he did of the queen sent to the local tip.

Just beyond belief.

He was reduced to living nin a caravan now we saw the teen with im loads on is bike
He became a strict DAD figure she hated ittold her mUM bla bla Police and his life almost ruined
It went to court the kid was 18 by then she was called in to court in the end made to go.

Married probably NANS IM sorry it demans the women and girls whow were actually abducted and raped

I don't feel sad for them or sorry for them.  I feel very sad for the children involved.

I don't feel sad for them or sorry for them.  I feel very sad for the children involved.

So do I Milliemoo.  I have been listening to people on the radio today who were sexually abused by a BBC radio presenter (Mike Souter) who was as well thought of as Savile by the public, the Scout Movement and even social services.  His trial has been going on here for 5 weeks and he will be sentenced any time.

Savile, Souter and most other paedos are in a position of authority or have a bit of power or fame and they got away with it, because even though kids made complaints against them, nobody believed it so it just carried on.  I am shocked to the core at how the police had complaints against Savile many years ago but did nothing. 

[Lucky Stone]

I suppose I feel the same Pennyfarthing, although Savile was such a larger than life, in your face sort of character I can see why people felt intimidated by him and I think that was the core of the problem. The shiny outfit, the hair, the cigar - it was all so over the top and of course, he knew that well and played on it.  Plus his fame - the police should put that to one side but I suppose we are all human and can be taken in. I just can't get over how the various hospitals gave him an office and his own room etc. - WHY?  Talk about get a licence to do what he wanted 

I had a friend who worked at Radio 1 and she always said "if you knew the truth about him ... " but she would never say more than that so I was unsurprised when all the info came out.

However, it pleases me no end that he was very proud and pleased with himself - all that fame, all that money raised for charity, the big tombstone etc etc. and all he will be remembered for now (forever) is what a vile, nasty, creepy, manipulative man he was. THAT is his legacy and wouldn't he just hate it. Good.

[Taz2]

I don't think he would mind which way he was remembered just as long as he WAS. Like most predators he would no doubt think that it was his victims fault anyway.

Think there were a lot like that. Such a shame that the stories/rumours were not acted upon. I know of someone who said similar about another of the men being taken to court. Told me not to be surprised when he was named.   I just hope that today's celebs are not involved in any such things, though I expect people are much more confident in coming forward nowadays.

[jo61]

Remember Bill Wyman and 13 year old Mandy Smith who he later married nobody did anything about that.

[CLKD]

That didn't last though.  Both wanted the celebrity/media hype probably .........

[honeybun]

That's not the point CLKD.

Man + 13yr old child = illegal. Child abuse is child abuse no matter who you are.
Celebrity does not give anyone the right to do as they want no matter whether young girls are throwing themselves at them. It's just wrong.

How did Bill Wyman get away with it - I have always wondered that!

[jo61]

because she would have had to press charges, I think she will have done quite well out of it but what were her parents thinking. She was a child no matter what anybody thought and HE was an adult, it was illegal

[Taz2]

I don't think that she would have had to press charges but her parents should have. The case of the schoolgirl who disappeared off with her teacher, Jeremy someone, last year was not brought about because the girl pressed charges but because her parents did. It's very puzzling.

[Joyce]

Actually wonder if police could have arrested him anyway. Sounds like her parents were more interested in the celeb status/money.

[jo61]

I wonder how much their silence has cost him.
