A Soap Star

[sir.prize]

is arrested and due to appear at Crown Court in just 41 days.

While other 'personalities' wait 220 days and still remain on bail.

I am sure there is a good reason . . . .

Any ideas?

[sandyRoe]

It was. Yes.

My wife was flashed at three times when she was under 16 - she can remember each event vividly; she was jumped on in the park by much older boys when she was 12 but screamed very loudly and they ran off; as she grew up she was leered at and groped a few times.
She tells me she was not unusual and most of her friends had similar experiences.

She has no idea who any of these men were, but had they been famous at the time she would be able to name them. I think that is why far more celebrities are being reported for historic events - they can be identified by the victims.

It was mentioned on here after that interview that he had a feeling he knew what was coming.

If I were the 15 year old girl that he 'allegedly' raped and watched that interview....I would have went to the police. He more or less said they deserved it as they had done something bad in a previous life.

He sounds really pig headed, what an awful thing to say! He boasted of all the women he had had sex with !!

[FredPuli43]

How many women did he boast of having had sex with? Was it 1,000 ?
Born 1932. Was 16 in 1948. Married 1961-74 and 1978 -2009. He was 77 in 2009. So he was unmarried 13 + 4 years since 16 and from 77 to now. At a thousand, that's a strike rate of roughly 60 a year, or just over one a week, for the whole of his unmarried life. Goodness, don't say he was an adulterer as well as overactive !

[ummmm]

Or a liar!

[sara3]

Connemmara, what a ridiculous statement. I'm gob-smacked.

[FredPuli43]

Or he cannot remember his sexual encounters. No wonder he's pleading not guilty!

[sara3]

he won't recall all of them, but he would remember if there were children involved.
