I never did like Stuart Hall, always found him to be a bit suspect. I know, easy to say now, but there was always something about him that was a bit weird and creepy. Women's intuition? Maybe, but I was a huge fan of Gary Glitter, and look how he turned out :_|

Our local butcher always gave me the heebie-jeebies. Could never quite put my finger on it, but just something about him. He was a "fine, upstanding member of the Church" and everyone thought I was barmy. Turned out he was abusing his young apprentice lad (who had learning difficulties). He was found guilty and later committed suicide. Good riddance to him, but poor lad.

O/H and I have had a discussion about this today. William Roach has just been charged. O/H pipes up "Good grief, that was 40-odd years ago, how can it matter now?". :_|

Doesn't matter how many years ago, - that poor girl has been living with this all her life and afraid to speak out. If he's guilty, he's guilty and hopefully justice will be done.

Having said that, I'm not sure about names being bandied about before they are found guilty. If they are guilty, then they deserve all they get. If innocent, their names have been sullied and it would be difficult to pull yourself back from such an accusation.
