I was a teenager in the great heydays of screaming fans - lots of the DJs and pop groups enticed us young things to go to their hotels for parties and high jinx.  But if anyone was creepy and mauley my friend and I would run a mile.  And there were plenty of them who were. 

I think we got away lightly compared to these abused girls from that same era.  These were young and vulnerable and seemed not to have the choice of getting out of a situation which seems to have affected them for the rest of their lives.

If it brings them peace of mind to have it all dragged up in front of the media, I doubt it.  I think that the smell of the Saville millions might be at the bottom of them grieving at this late stage.

I think its a shame that a man who can be revered one minute and shamed the next is dead and cannot be called upon to answer to these charges himself.
