    no smoke without fire hey?

    We have to be reasonable and assume SOME allegations made against celebrities are either inflated or done for nefarious purposes. I'm not suggesting all are, as I have said all along there is almost certainly a ring within the BBC/TV circles which people know about widely.

    If the man is truly innocent and it was obvious then I hope he responds by making sure that those who accused him falsely are prosecuted. Whether that be the individual or the people that drove the prosecution knowing it to be false.

        That rape allegation didn't do John Leslie's career any harm, did it

          Exactly. But there are no conclusions that can be drawn from this as to whether the complainant was telling the truth or not.

            not for him, that was the point we were making.

            We need to address this in the justice system somehow.

            Options as I see them
            1. Controlled anonymity - Judge decides to release name of the accused based on evidence in a closed court and reparations are available.
            2. Where a case is thrown out / unanimous not guilty then a sanction / prosecution of the accuser / prosecutor is formally considered.
            3. CPS decision formulaic and released after not guilty verdict.
            4. Prosecution of 'Perp walk' organisers - perverting the course of justice. (D notice on anonymous accused).
            Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

              Looks like another BBC star arrested.

              64 and due to present a radio show this week. Fairly obvious who this one is.

                Not to me, I don't listen to the radio. Who is it?

                      It does begin with a G.
