The specific charge hasn't been released at the moment but I guess it's to do with the "sexual harassment complaints".

You do know this case is "active" and it's against the law to insinuate such remarks!

Best take that up with the BBC because they've just said the same thing.

That's not new for British Broadcasting Corruption unit to make liable statements, it's there forte.

You on the other hand are responsible for starting a thread and making the insinuation-so you're answerable for you're own actions.

COPFS states it's an offence and carry's up to 2 year jail term(contempt of court) forums and social media platforms are not exempt! Therfore I would stop right now if I were you before you spend a wee holiday in Barlinnie

On every response there is a report inappropriate comment button.

I respectfully suggest you use it without preaching and trying to dictate to others.

To satisfy the bar-room barrister, the charges have been made public now. Note that I'm commenting on what the charges are, not about the details of the charges.

The charges are "Attempted r ape and sexual assault".

CD, correct, about 16 charges in all.

Re: Alex Salmond arrested?

CD, just saw on another thread where you said where you lived ! We holiday not that far from you in Abergele, LL22 9HS to be precise.

Re: Alex Salmond arrested?

cee-dee — Thu, 24 Jan 2019 20:09:13 GMT

Ah, Abergele isn't in walking distance from here though

However, the snow's melted for now so the roads are clear.

Re: Alex Salmond arrested?

Ah but no point you walking there now CD ! we are not down until the end of April . When we are down there we visit friends in Yate near Bristol and others that live in Eglwysbach.

Re: Alex Salmond arrested?

cee-dee — Thu, 24 Jan 2019 20:33:36 GMT

Heck no, I wouldn't be walking there. Around the lake is about as far as I want to walk these days. A wonderful month is April..... all that Spring growth.... April Green.

hopefully, either in April or September when we are down I will finally get to see the Sygun copper mine. We plan to go every time we are down but always find ourselves too busy to get there. We were also hoping to go to Llechwedd slate caverns some time.
