maggie ......

I agree

CR said in one of the interviews that I read, that he felt he "had been hung out to dry", for anyone to see the first accusation, and come forward with more.

We've had so many cases here, not with celebrities, but with ordinary folk such as high school teachers who have been accused of sexual assault, and then found innocent 1 or 2 years later ........ after it has become evident that someone lied (eg, he didn't give a pupil a high enough mark in her final exam :-\ ), or for money.

We knew personally one female who filed charges, and was later found to be a multiple filer of such charges ......... she had a mental condition.

Of course, there are those that are guilty, and they should be punished, but the ones that are innocent have lost even more .............. schools have to be told as soon as a charge is made against a teacher, they lose their jobs and their certificates


and there is always that "thought" among some people that there must have been "something there".

They never get their old life back

Until someone - anyone - is actually charged with rape, their names shouldn't be published.

I've read 2 interviews with him online ........... it's horrifying what he went through.

I laughed when I read the story about the guy who claimed CR had assaulted him twice within a couple of hours ......... with CR roller skating in the shop, groping, skating out, then returning on his roller skates and repeating the actions! Most roller skaters I know would have fallen if any one gave them the slightest push!

The South Yorkshire Police seem to have ignored all rules of behaviour right from the get go ...............

and yes, we did see the BBC programme where they reported "live" on the police raid on his house. We saw it that evening on BBC World.
