The 73 year old recently arrested is a former BBC employee and not a household name.

Hope this will quell the awful accusations about famous people that have been flying around here and the web in general.

Some people seem to revel in it, ummm. Glad I'm not a household name, that's for sure.

I know. I understand peoples curiosity but that's where it should end.

jno

if you're not a household name then you're a suspect...

I've heard it's that hc3461 or some name like that...

Maybe I'm posting on here to prove that I'm not locked up.

I'm not sure why the press give any information. Does it really help and does it only lead to speculation? One paper said he was a singer, this one says he's a BBC employee who isn't a household name. Now, i suppose the two could be consistent- he could have been a backing singer for some music show, but it could also be that both papers are just speculating and one or both could be wrong.
One irresponsible headline a month or so ago about Yew Tree even came up with what it presumably thought was a clever headline by including a pun on the singer's name in the headline.

I agree, FF. No information at all until the charge, or name him/her.

How many convictions ?

I wholeheartedly agree that this persons name should not be released until charged. We have discussed this matter many times here on AB and most of us agree on this. But make no mistake...the only reason that we haven't been told who has been arrested, is that it seems that it is not a well-known name.

If it was, the name would be all over the media by now, another example of this obsession with celebrity people have these days. Andy Warhol was right after all.

If I were a famous 73 year old male as soon as the arrest was made public I would have headed to the nearest high street to prove it wasn't me, hoping somebody would ask me for a photo.
