No real surprises there, another jail sentence in the works for Glitter perhaps. The only surprise is it took this long to arrest Glitter, and this long for the Saville story to make it to Subsim.

Personally, I have my doubts about some of the claims, I mean over 300? That's on a virtually industrial scale, more likely that some have smelt blood in the water and know that Saville can't defend himself since he is dead.

I don't envy the cops that have to dig through this mess. :yep:

That he had to crawl into prison was previously known, but I agree that it is a lot more involved than he, of course, it's a big mess in an investigation, hardly a desirable position in the first place victims, and judgment involved in this.

Indeed, there will be a lot of heightened emotions involved in this, despite the years that have passed, and the BBC is going to face a very rough road if all the names come out. The thing is, society now is far different to society in the 1970s and 1980s, one just has to look at the BBCs 'Life on Mars' to realise that, and as a female worker in a male dominated environment it was almost expected that you would, at some point in your career, suffer some form of sexual harassment, be it a grope, a sexually related joke at your expense, or even in extreme cases attempted rape. Fighting back against this was so difficult that many women chose not to, but those that did eventually paved the way to the more equal manner in which women are treated in the work place in todays society.

^Wise words Obie.

Its mentioned in the Trumps birther nonsense topic:03:

^Really? have not read the thread as a whole....:yep:

Now there's a shock Gary "the paedophile" Glitter getting arrested.:nope:

"But its for charity so it makes it alright really" Jimmy Saville(alledgedly)

OK,I got it.

Rgr that and pretty old news to Brits I should imagine.

Ows about that?

I guess he did not learn from his Vietnamese prison sentence for the same thing.

Little boys...

This confirms my belief, that there is no reforming people like this. This crap happens all the time in America. Sex offenders in most cases serve less time than drug offenders.

I think what we are being to see here is a group of celebrities who for many years practiced/performed a seroes of sickening crimes on vulnerable young people....there is probably a lot more to come out into the public arena.

He was in a Vietnamese jail for the same thing.

Little boys..

These people are unable to be rehabilitated. It happens so much here in America, people re-offending, despite lists of sexual predators released to the community.

I seen people get more time for selling pot, than what they give these damned treejumpers.

Lets hope the UK is not as enamoured by this mans wealth and illustrious (sarcastic) music career as the Viets were.

Acts like this rob the childhood of the victims.
It forces them to understand actions (sexual actions before sexual maturity or interest) of people they were taught to entrust (adults) It is the greatest betrayal. No child is ever the same after this. It betrays our entire socialogical infrastructure. It outright betrays our societal structures of trust in our elders.

I am agitated. I am sorry I cannot express myself better.

I hope I did not seem to be rambling, this just makes me bitter...

U.K. will not let this lightly :nope:
