AOG - "She only bothered to post a totally incorrect post, simply to to have a cheap dig at me."

'She' has a name, and you should have the manners of your age to use it.

Why do you always always always assume that everyone is out to have a go at you on every post, every day, ad nauseum.

It really is not all about you.

"but why is it that the national press hasn't yet reported on the trial?"

No reason at all.

There are thousands of stories that news editors have to sift through in order to create online and offline content.

I don't think that there's any reason for this story not gaining traction on the opening day of the trail...perhaps it will when the verdict is given.

In fact, doesn't that make more sense?

The media would have far more to report after certain restrictions were lifted...they could interview the alleged victim etc.

As we have seen in previous trails, the media doesn't shy away from these stories when verdicts have been given.

Why do you think this has been 'little reported'?
AOG

They have not been charge with grooming a child, they have been charged with paying her for sex. That happens all the time all over the country. I assume their defence will be that they though she was older. The story is not that remarkable which is why it hasn't been report in national newspapers but only locally in the Leicestershire area.
AOG...why do you have to be so rude to everybody who doesn't agree with you ? How proud you must be that you have now blackened a teenaged girl's eye.

If you said this to her in my presence, you would have a lot to answer for from me. If you continue to make comments like you have to Shari, I shall report your conduct to the Editor. Shame on you.
Well said mikey!

AOG is the Alan Partridge of the AB - quick to jump all over anyone and everyone, but hyper-sensitive to any slight, real or imagined.

Respect is earned, not a right by means of living a certain length of time.

Quite apart from setting a good example - not that Shari needs it - her conduct is impeccable.
To get back to the OP. I think it would be beneficial if there were more high profile reporting of these cases. Public opinion can play a part in discouraging others from following this path as has been proved in the past.
This is from an article dated Feb 2013:

At their two previous court appearances, an order was imposed banning publication of their names, addresses and dates of birth. The Mercury, however, has successfully challenged this order, which was removed yesterday by District Judge John Temperley.

(sorry to stay on the original topic).


AOG I am 88 years old, not a 15 years old schoolgirl & therefore I can speak to you at your own level & I say to you STOP picking on this young lady of whom I have great respect. She may very well be only 15 years of age but I know she has much knowledge & can certainly give a very good argument in a lot of subjects so for goodness sake be a little more tolerant.

More power to your elbow WR !
I wish to be associated with the remarks of the last speaker.
And the one before that!!!
Thank you Ron and everyone:)

The point is AOG, that it HAS been reported on, quite extensively since it began, by the BBC amongst others, is that not sensational enough for you? This girl, whilst her situation is tragic, is 16, alive and well now by account, and is not an enormous news story. There are other more pressing matters in the world and your assumption that any crime committed by people who are not white should stand at the fore of everything is frankly riseable.

/// AOG - "She only bothered to post a totally incorrect post, simply to to have a cheap dig at me." ///

/// 'She' has a name, and you should have the manners of your age to use

How totally nit-picking of you, how many others do not bother to use a poster's name? If they know they are male they will use the term 'HE' and if they happen to be female they will use the term 'SHE', have you ever corrected others for being so rude? No of course you haven't.

My name on the other hand has been corrupted in many ways, so much so that I requested a name change, but as others were allowed to change names, guess what? for some strange reason my request was ignored.

Incidentally you might ask Sharingan how in the future she might care to be addressed, just as Sharingan, young Sharingan, or Miss Sharingan, wouldn't wish to appear too familiar or offend any further?

/// Why do you always always always assume that everyone is out to have a go at you on every post, every day, ad nauseum. ///

Just take a look at almost every post I enter and see the abusive comments firstly made, even yourself have in the past criticised some for doing so.
Call me whatever you like Petal :)xx

Quite a few didn't get the names they requested so don't take it personally.

You are continuously rude to Shar, you are patronizing and condescending.

I do think however Sharingan you tend to be a bit inflammatory winding the 'older generation' up. ;-)

/// Quite apart from setting a good example - not that Shari needs it - her conduct is impeccable. ///

Then why did she find it necessary to sarcastically post this before I made any comment towards herself?

My non offensive question being, "Why Has Little Been Reported About This"?

To which she replied.

/// It is reported you just linked to it. It's dated yesterday. ///
poor Sharigan has been hounded by several users on this site and it is credit to her that she has not lowered herself to their base level!
AOG - "Incidentally you might ask Sharingan how in the future she might care to be addressed, just as Sharingan, young Sharingan, or Miss Sharingan, wouldn't wish to appear too familiar or offend any further?"

Sarcasam is the lowest form of wit AOG - let's not continue being offensive.

I didn't defend Sharingan because of her age or gender, I defended her because your post was offensive and uncalled for, and you should know better, although you continue willfully to demonstrate that you do not.
