Jimmy Savile 'household name' sweep

[SueEllen]

Me or Johnson?

I can't get my own kids to tidy their room, so what chance do I have getting a strange kid into my car

You are doing it wrong.

Let them have messy rooms but if the mess comes out of their room, they refuse to tidy up in the house or they are encourage vermin in the house they are in for it.....

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

I hope this will change footballer attitudes.

Fair Enough.

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.

She certainly knew what she was doing was wrong from day 1, but the law is the law and as she is under 16 it doesn't matter.

Nonsense. The 15 year old here was seduced by his fame. Not an ASBO type.

Even if she was, she is 15. So the adult gets all the blame. I would like to see Kenny get a long jail term too.....

You're smoking crack if you think this will.

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!

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

In the eyes of the law - 15 is a child and hence it could be argued he does?
