Rumours were rife - I saw rumours about Saville posted on Usenet groups move than a decade ago, but what you going to do about it?

^ It would have taken a brave journo to take on the task and put his or her career on the line, let's not forget he was a 'national treasure' until a couple of months ago. Not to mention his alleged links to the Irish mafia, which was also a well known secret.

I truly don't get this argument that a "National Treasure" makes you safe. Princess Dianna was a national treasure but her reputation was totally destroyed and torn to bits by the media well before she died. ^ It would have taken a brave journo to take on the task and put his or her career on the line But is that not what an investigative journalist is supposed to do? Journalist have recently been exposed for doing things that were illegal in order to get stories aired that had far less public interest than this. I would suggest that taking a huge scalp such as Saville would have been far more lucrative in selling papers. Let's not forget this fellow used to be a guest of Royalty and Mrs T. Many Journalists would have done all manner of things to have had the credit for exposing his secrets.
Gone Audi mad!

Bob , I agree entirely, that was my point! The fact that the chairman of Children in need wouldn't let Savile anywhere near the charity because there was 'something creepy' about him, should have had alarm bells ringing all over fleet street. One of the highest profile charity raisers in the country with Jim'll fix it connections?!

That makes you worse than Saville (according to the media). Sorry for the late reply, I've been out painting "Peedo skum" on my front door and putting my own windows in. In light of this now being all my fault I feel it's the least I can do.

Personally, I strongly suspect that the sort of behaviour being attributed to Savile was pretty rife in the music business, and that he is being singled out and demonised as if it were not. I wouldn't be surprised if some of his critics were just as bad.
Also, I have to keep coming back to this: Is child abuse more heinous than murder? How does that work, exactly?

How old was Mandy Smith when she was carousing with Bill Wyman in the 1980s (in very public gaze)? 13 years old.

Yes, I thought so too.
I am trying to imagine how Schofield feels about himself after that. I'd be embarrassed and ashamed.

I think it's more shocking that the shadow business secretary implied that Schofield is a serious broadcast journalist.

A few years ago the net was a wash with rumours that Philip Schofield and Jason Donovan were in a relationship. When Schofield was confronted with this information, he stated there was no truth in the rumours and that it was just 'internet gossip'

hoi polloi out there seems to associate paedophilia with homosexuality and, as always, can't separate the concept of 'someone who is X did Y' from 'all X do Y'.
My guess would be that the statistics might back up the hoi polloi assumption in the case of offences against young boys - I can't imagine many women or straight men would be involved. Obviouisly in offences against girls the opposite would be expected.
