And a current politician to be named soon according to The Independent.

A Labour peer (probably)

OK, when society is over it.

How would we know? Should we vote on it?

[vetran]

When the victim is over it.

even then its still a crime that needs punishing. violent offences are against society as well as the person, its the only way to avoid anarchy.

So how long after the event is a rape no longer considered a rape? Or you do simply think that after [x] years, a rapist should be allowed to move on and stop worrying about the threat of prosecution?

According to the article, the complainant claims one person held his wrists while someone else "tried" to rape him.

So even by his account no rape ever actually occurred, which makes dragging the whole thing back out after all this time even more ludicrous

In any case, wasn't all this reported a couple of years ago? Still, I suppose a responsible paper like the Mail has a public duty to bring these things to the public's attention (again).

The complainant is 66, and this supposedly traumatic incident happened when he was 18?! FFS, that's nearly 50 years ago.

No doubt the BBC _was_ a cesspit of depravity back then. But how utterly ridiculous to be dragging all this out now!

This idiot loser should be prosecuted for vexatious litigation or something!

Thing is there are many handsome chaps (bit like me when I was younger) and I was able to get 'quite a bit' but never did I think hmm bored with Women lets try a little boy....

It just was not even an option so I do not buy this pushing the boundaries stuff I think Saville imparticular was completely nuts.

oh I think they are nuts, I just think some of it starts by 'oh I have had threesomes, orgies , M&F what next to get my kicks?' remember most successful men are randy & manipulative as hell. Its a bit like rape its about controlling others.

I'm not an apologist I'm the first one in line with the rusty corkscrew to punish these bastards.

with a different haircut and when he was younger maybe.

BBC News - Jimmy Savile and workplace culture today

face fairly balanced, strong chin, good eyes.

he wasn't pug ugly combine that with money & fame he could get certain men or women to satisfy his desires. Abusing kids seems to be pushing the envelope for new thrills for people like him.

Surely no one EVER considered Saville to be fashionable or handsome? He may have had the lure of "celebrity" and wealth but that was all.

you will probably find they are clean family men.

Just like thought most of the current crop were clean family men... Well most of them.

[Uncle Albert]

you will probably find they are clean family men. I'm not sure what a paedophile looks like any more than a rapist. Max Clifford and Jimmy Saville were both considered fashionable and possibly handsome, neither would have had any difficulty getting adult women/men.

I am waiting for the Chuckle Brothers to get found out. I can't stand either of them. They should be on a poster warning children what type of people to avoid in the street, not play with them. If I had to do a photo fit of a pervy old man it would look like this...
