Don't like the chap but after many months the CPS has decided no further action against him

Let's hope he can get on with his life and put all this behind him

I wonder if he'll be having a fried hampster to celebrate
And the hamster story was concocted by yes, Max Clifford....
about time. It's taken an absurd length of time to decide this - more than a year.
Well done CPS - another celebrity case collapses.

One one conviction from Operation Yewtree.
one Clifford put away isn't a bad result. But what the Starr allegations can have been that took them 18 months to dither over, I can't imagine.
Stuart Hall has just admitted charges re a girl under 16
I'd forgotten he still had charges pending. He's already lost his OBE, hasn't he?
If Hall has pleaded on one charge why not deal with him on that. He is 84 for Gawds sake and will die in Jail anyway.

Surely a trail is only going to cost a fortune and get nothing extra.

Starr will never be able to resume his life. There will always be those who bleat on about 'no smoke without fire' Normally we get a few on here, I'm sure they will be along shortly.
if he's held his hands up - is he going to go through a trial process ? - surely they will just sentence him
he's denied lots of other charges, Bazile
Really should reinforce the point about libelling someone.

There would be no evidence of libel, either, scooping
-- answer removed --
If people keep going on about a person who's been charged with nothing, in the context of those who have been accused and/or convicted, it's as clear a case of libel as I can think of.
ok jno- i see .

It may seem one the one hand that it is pointless pursuing and prosecuting him on the other charges .

However on the other hand if you are one of the victims , then you would i suspect want to see him tried for what he did to you personally - if he wasn't, you would feel as though he has got away with what he did to you

It's not for the CPS to decide if a person is guilty - that is what the court is for.

They have discontinued the case against Starr due to lack of evidence
By the way ,my last comment was with respect to Stuart Hall
hc4361...I agree. I realise that these cases can't be investigated over a long weekend but the length of time he has had to wait is beyond a joke.

Yet another example of what harm can be done to someone when their identity is revealed before they are charged. His career is over as far as I can see. I am far from being a Freddie Star fan but what has happened to him can't possibly be right, or just in any shape or form.
. . . and Freddie Starr was banned from being alone with his children. That can't possibly be right either.
