Jimmy Savile 'household name' sweep

[SueEllen]

Good. Hopefully long enough to end his chances of professional football again.

I hope this will change footballer attitudes.

So do I but it's the club, their agents and managers whose attitudes that need changing.

At 15 this is surely a sexual assault case not a pedophile case i.e. he doesn't have predilection for children?

not if the legal line between child and adult is 16th birthday...

How does a footballer in his twenties having sex with a 15yo get mentioned in the same breath as Saville. There's about 3 orders of magnitude between them!

Mass hysteria innit

The thread is about anyone in the public eye who grooms, sexually assaults or rapes a child, or any non-consenting adult dead or alive.

Secondly if Jimmy Saville had been caught he wouldn't have continued. This footballer, who would have had women over 16 throwing themselves at him, decided he wanted to abuse a 15 year old child. He admitted as such by pleading guilty to grooming her.

At 15 this is surely a sexual assault case not a pedophile case i.e. he doesn't have predilection for children?

So if he went for at 13 year old like the guys in Rotherham you would have thought that was OK as well? There has to be a line drawn somewhere and this line is 16.

Sexy little schoolgirls indeed Patrick.

She offered him an out and he didn't take it.

Deserves everything he got.

Whilst he was in the wrong and there is no way I would ever blame the victim.

However some 15 year olds I know would happily do that and then if they see some money in it claim it was different that what it was.

Then once that is all over they will be quite happy going out on a Friday getting wasted on MD20/20 and being fingerblasted by Kenny the Ket dealer.

Apparently her school work has suffered since the incident - I would like to see her results before and after to see if there has really been an impact.

Would you be happy for your 15 year old daughter to be groomed by a 28 year old footballer?

Btw the attitude you are displaying is one that the police and social workers displayed to the girls in Rotherham, Rochdale, Oxford etc

Depends if he can get me season tickets for Man U.

Man U players had to behave under Sir Alex so I doubt it.

Probably why Giggs went for his brother's and the other players wives and girlfriends...
