Wanderer101 Posted March 10, 2016 Report Posted March 10, 2016 Wow... Well, Innocent until proven guilty I guess. I'll only be mad at him if he's actually convicted. But I'm still surprised of course.
Old H&A Fan Posted March 11, 2016 Report Posted March 11, 2016 There have been too many instances where high profile celebrities have had their names and reputations blackened permanently by such filthy allegations (from like even 50 years ago).
kmp1963 Posted March 11, 2016 Report Posted March 11, 2016 And even more instances where high profile celebrities have used their fame to get away with such filthy behavior. Sometimes for as long as fifty years It is in the public interest for them to be named as all too often, such a public revelation results in additional victims coming forward.
Wanderer101 Posted March 11, 2016 Report Posted March 11, 2016 Well he I'd say it's more likely than not that he did it, since the Police obviously think so, but I can't say with secure confidence that he did it until convicted.

Additional copycats come forward you mean? Are you saying it's OK to slander the good name of a good, honest, hard-working man 50 years after it allegedly happened? And what about when Joan Ferguson was "proven" guilty because some nut accused her of such vile ****. Also why the hell do these so-called "victims" wait all these years before finally coming forward? Just how can you prove it especially after all this time??
kmp1963 Posted March 14, 2016 Report Posted March 14, 2016 I was going to reply to the above, but had to go and calm down first. Then I realized it would be a waste of time and anger. In short, rape victims don't come forward because of people like you.
Wanderer101 Posted March 14, 2016 Report Posted March 14, 2016 Well yeah, I can't judge victims not coming forward, there are psychological reasons they may not. But in this case, I don't see how any of us on this forum can just sit here and make a definitive judgement, that he did it or didn't do it. We don't have sufficient information to make a conclusion.
CaptainHulk Posted March 15, 2016 Report Posted March 15, 2016 Let's just wait for the evidence to be heard, the jury to make up their mind and the crown to pass down the ruling.

I would think that the reason why the victims take a long time to come forward if ever Is because their too scared to do so. At the end of the day they have been though a very traumatising experience. And they are probably seeking help to rebuild their trust in people and cope with what has happened too them before coming forward I think that would take some guts to do so
