This is absolutely appalling, and I really hope that some new evidence comes to light just as before with the amateur video filmed at the opening of a hospital radio station. |

I dread to think what my late husband who was a police officer in the met 1960s-late 80s would make of all this |

problem is that it makes a mockery of those who really were assaulted - never mind how long ago it was |

I can remember donkey's year ago going on holiday with a friend and her parents, and her father (an eye surgeon!!) made me feel very uncomfortable, sort of hovering over me if you know what I mean and, swimming near me in the sea, and just generally making me feel uneasy. Later on in a world of work, particular blokes made stupid comments, sidled up to you in the filing room, brushed against you, and were often a d#### nuisance. We girls just laughed at them behind their backs and told them to p## off to their faces, or if necessary gave them the stiletto heel treatment! I would never, all these years later dream of dragging that up whoever it was and wrecking someone's life to the extent of financially ruining them, sending them to prison and reducing them to despair - It would be an awful thing to do. |

what people have to understand though is that very often victims don't report at the time for many reasons - will they be believed, was it their fault, they were too young, they were embarrassed |

As has been said a two edged sword. I am all for genuine victims of abuse coming forward and being believed and the person prosecuted. However, these celebrity accusations do seem like people jumping on the band wagon hoping for a pay out. I hope that the fact that so far there have been aquittals doesn't mean that those who are actually guilty get away with it because future juries think every case is going to be the same. |
