Uptowngirl Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Having just heard reports on the news about the DLT trial.. its not looking good for him... he sounded a right perve, always touching women who he worked with... But isn't this the problem. Folks hear someone make accusations about a celebrity and like on here start reporting it as fact. It only takes a few of those folk to start making similar claims and it becomes fact. How does anyone get a fair trial 30 years after the event? You can find folks to say you were down at the pub having a drink with them because there isn't even a date on which some of these incidents are alleged to have happened.

You claim to be a law student Uptowngirl so you should know the principles involved in investigating (and charging) historic reports of sexual abuse.

Jason Bourne Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 What about that libel case he lost and left taxpayers to foot the bill when he declared himself bankrupt. What about the money he has earned since. They ought to sort that one out as well. Who? Ken? Bill? Or Neil? They've ALL lost court cases Ken Barlow (the fictional character in Corrie) lost the court case against his former son-in-law (the one who owns the undergarment company, dunno his name, Mike something-or-other, I think he's dead now) over custody rights of Ken's grandkid. Bill Roache himself lost a case against the Sun - he took them to court after they called his boring character Ken Barlow a boring character. He won £50,000 but had to pay his own costs of £120,000! A case of life imitating art Them bloody lawyers, eh Bill? Neil Hamilton lost his MPs seat and a court case against Mohamed Al-Fayed, who had accused the now-disgraced money-grabbing sleazebag Hamilton of accepting cash to table parliamentary questions. Hamilton's greed not only cost him his safe Tory seat and reputation, but it arguably helped bring down John Major's Conservative government, ushering in three-terms of the venal traitor to his own population and party principles, Saint Tony Blair. That Hamilton is a morally and financially bankrupt, lying, greedy, unprincipled scumbag of the highest order doesn't matter a jot to UKIP, who have welcomed him with open arms into their National Executive Committee. Yes! Really! So remember to vote UKIP folks! Their politicians are of the highest integrity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagel Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Wonder if Jimmy Page will ever get charged? Or David Bowie? Bowie was shagging Lori Maddox when she was 13, then she became Page's girlfriend when she was 14. Here's the happy couple - http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/94/Jimmy_Page_Lori_Maddox.jpg It's all very reminiscent of the movie 'Almost Famous' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halibut Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I agree, and I wonder why the allegations of the supposed victims have only just come to light and why they never said anything at the time. Could it be post-Savile that there's a lot of compensation money suddenly become available to alleged abuse victims? Must be quite a struggle to remain so wilfully ignorant of the reasons for this - which have been discussed at length on here and elsewhere in the media. ---------- Post added 15-01-2014 at 18:06 ---------- Rolf Harris, that bloke off Coronation Street and the revolting Dave Lee Travis were all in the dock today for various rapes and sexual assaults. think your missing a very important word from that sentence. Yes, alleged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister M Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I did hear on the news today that one of the lawyers for one of the accused complained that the alleged victims came forward because they want the publicity. I very much doubt it, they'll have their lives crawled over by journalists who work for newspapers which operate double standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
