(writing under a diff account)

I find myself completely torn over these historical cases, I always believed there had to be hard evidence, DNA , witnesses whatever for charges to stick but seems not.  There is also confusion nowdays of what constitutes sexual assault. 'Old school' would think penetration but some cases now use it to describe fondling upwards if unwelcome.

We also have to consider changing times and attitudes and how now guys are even frightened to wolf whistle.  

I grew up and remember the 60's 😛 I hung around stage doors when rising stars did their provincial gigs.  If a big star had 'invited' me would i have thought twice?...nope...  If years down the line he hadn't married me, was a billionnaire and I was of a certain age with a grudge seeing an opportunity to cry foul would i?  Well maybe some now do.  My amazement is that every single famous or infamous group/band hasn't been dragged through the courts by now. Maybe the guys and gals were too drugged up to remember.

As a child being given a lift to swimming by a neighbour he stopped with my friend in the back and started kissing me. I made it clear this was unwelcome and still had to go swimming. Was this assault? Should i now complain? He wasn't famous and is probably dead now......but even the dead can be pursued. I did tell my p's and he never took me again but  i have no idea if anything happened compared to now. Being primary age i still knew 'no' for it to go no further and he wasnt a Beatle...

Women threw panties at Tom Jones what was that message? I therefore have some sympathy for celebs who had 'women' throwing themselves at them and could not be saints or gay.

Sadly 'it was different then' is not a defence.
