Jimmy Savile 'household name' sweep

[tomtomagain]

>You have no idea what offences were or were not committed

No and neither do you. We shall find out in a court of law.

[sasguru]

So to summarise several pages of crud: some cretins don't understand the concept of the rule of law - in the absence of a statute of limitations, if evidence emerges of law-breaking at any time, it is the responsibilty of the relevant authorities to prosecute for the alleged crime, should they (the CPS) judge the evidence is of sufficient quality.

I don't know why such a simple concept, common to every civilised country, should cause realms of complete garbage to be posted.

You shouldn't sledge anyone as it usually seems to result in you getting your weedy arse kicked!

Have you warmed up yet Jessie???

Not had my arse kicked once fat boy, not even by your gaylord bootie mate.

And yes, thanks. I went out on the bike again. Still, I guess we can't all be insulated by 65lbs of fat

You have been here a while now, surely this should come as no surprise given the depth of cretinisation of some of the posters?

The BBC went all out for an early win with Saville but since then ITV have reminded us this is a team game and are starting to claw some ground back.

Alledged rape in 1967. In public interest

[Malcolm Buggeridge]

I have to tread lightly here as rape is not a subject I would wish to be flippant about; indeed it is a heinous act.

Now, rape to me connotates gaining carnal knowledge of a lady without her consent and against her will. It also implies a degree of violence.

The legal definition has become a bit more blurred in recent times with these so called date rape cases. I believe there have been cases where people have gone to court where the woman was too sozzled to remember much about the event (even if she did give drunken consent). Not sure if any of these prosecutions were successful but I do believe the legal definition has been watered down and It's possible that Mr Roach is being accused by a partner in some drunken romp many years ago as opposed to his being involved in some vicious assault as the word rape leads one to believe.
