    I don't think he did anything that would, today, be seen as illegal. And I dobt (that's doubt, not know) that he did anything with minors, using the current definition of the word. i.e. I do not think he is a paedophile in the same way as Glitter. If your "Must burn a paedo" desire has to be satisfied, why not, instead, have a pop at Bill Wyman who has admitted, in his autobiography, that he knowingly bedded a 14 year old (Mandy Smith), yet got nothing more than "Good on yer, mate!" and a bit of envious tut-tutting, but no porridge?
    ANYONE who does that sort of thing deserves to be treated like the scum that they are. Bill Wyman, Gary Glitter, Jonathan King (IMO). There's no defence for it.

      Are you saying that sex with 16 year olds is the same as Glitter's antics?

        Forget the 16 year-olds, King was convicted for offences relating to a 14 and a 15 year-old. If it's within the law I don't have a problem with it.

          But it was within a 14 & 15 year old in this instance?

            He says no. They say yes. Flip a coin, because there's no evidence, just the word of a few old rent boys who smelled a new opportunity for a few quid.

              Read this article, then tell me you feel the same way.

                I feel the same way.

                This bit was interesting:
                "In 32 years," says Deniz, "we never had one complaint about Jonathan and young boys, and suddenly, after 32 years, all these old men, grandfathers some of them, come forward and say they've been sexually abused and it's been bothering them all their lives. I think there's something deeply suspicious about it."

                WHS.

                  Sometimes, within the bundle of photographs of naked women he would hand the boys, there would be a picture of himself naked. "Oh!" he'd say, blushing a little. "Sorry. You weren't supposed to see that one of me!" (When the police raided King's house, they say they found 10 overnight bags, each stuffed with his seduction kit - his questionnaires and photos of Sam Fox and photos of himself naked - all packed and ready for when the urge took him to get into his Rolls-Royce and start driving around.)
                  I prefer to believe the facts rather than an old friend of his who used to ply the kids with whiskey before they met JK.

                  I guess we'll have to agree to differ.

                      "Glitter, 64, was free to travel because the Home Office issued him with a new passport in November while he was in a Vietnamese jail for abusing two girls aged 11 and 12."

                      It beggars belief! I hope the Home Office minister is going to resign over this monumental cock-up!
