Jimmy Savile 'household name' sweep

[MyUserName]

Except we appear to have trial by media in cases of rape where the males identity can be splashed all over the papers but not the females - and the reputation damage to the male is severe - even in those cases where it is proven that the female has made up the allegation - the point I'm trying to make is both parties should be anonymous until found guilty

True, a friend lost his job when he was accused of this. In court the case was thrown out almost immediately as the girl's claims made no sense - but he had still lost his job.

So its not enough to be raped, but you have to be forced to reveal your name. The alleged rapist is Innocent until proved guilty, so they should be fine if they are innocent and then the person making the allegation should be charged with false allegations and name revealed.

hardly true.. if they are guilty they should be named and shamed.. but I mud sticks even to the innocent.

I'm all for Anonymity unless approved by a court. Then if declared completely innocent the accused is free to pursue a public / Private apology from the victim and the court.

Also the time these things take > 1-2 years can we speed them up. Most verbal evidence degrades after time.

Lock up people that falsely accuse. There are perjury / wasting police time offences we can use.
We need to make the nutters who falsely accuse think twice.

Graduate offences -
Sex with a Minor - 18 year old sleeps with a willing 15 year old or unaware (one night stand from over 21 disco).
Coercive sex with a Minor - Teacher sleeps with 15 year old. 30 year old with 15 year old.
Non Consensual sex - Women says no or unclear in bed after agreeing. Assange style
Rape - any forced sex. (physical evidence required).
Predatory Rape - Dragged off the street. Below 13 years old.

That way you can set the Rape with a minimum sentence of 10 -15 years.
Predatory Rape = 20 -30 years.
Non Consensual sex - caution/1-5 years.- no sex offenders register option.
Coercive sex 5-10 years.
Sex with a minor - caution, no sex offenders register option.

Calling them all rape devalues the revulsion we should feel for the more serious ones.

cut his Nads off!
Makes me sad there was obviously a core of entertainers I used to admire that seem to be sick twisted individuals that should be locked up forever.

Fancying children is not socially or legally acceptable.

So people who fancy children generally keep it to themselves.

So how can we possibly know how common it is for people to be turned on by kids? Is it one in 1000, one in 50, one in 3?

Of course, fancying kids isn't the same as acting upon it. But if you're in showbiz, I guess there's a tendency to distort what's normal.

WVS. Still shocked by this. What appeared to be such a gent could be such a dirty callous bastard is just beyond me.

At least it's to his credit that he pleaded guilty.

I'm still hoping Rolf's innocent.

Do you know, I can sort of, slightly, understand one of these pricks picking up a 15 year old, and feigning shock when they 'find out' the real age, but 9? Sticking your hand up a 9 year old's skirt? He really, really, should be locked away for good.

That's really shocked me.

After months talking of spurious, hateful, illegal, slanderous allegations, he fesses up.
