I just find it a little strange that some people seem more willing to give SoVile the benefit of the doubt, over the claims of some of those who have come forward with allegations of abuse.
As far as I am aware, not all of those that have come forward are actually claiming financial compensation, so some of the views here seem more than a little cynical.
And others are seemingly dismissing many of the accusations, suggesting those claiming abuse never came into contact with SoVile,or that their claims would not stand up if examined in a court, or that the passage of time is just too long. Unless you have been involved in the police investigation, I do not see how you say any of those things, other than just out of cynicism.
And its probably true that for some just an acknowledgement and an apology might be sufficient, and they have gotten on with their lives with little or no effect - but it is equally true that, for some of these victims, the abuse suffered may have a detrimental effect on their development and their lives - such people, it seems to me, should be due some compensation.
Unless you have suffered this sort of abuse, I think it is very difficult to appreciate the kind of damage it can do, and it would be overly cynical just to dismiss even those actually seeking compensation as compo seeking chancers........
