His previous crimes in the UK were to do with porn, I think; they were widely reported but again not on the same scale, and it may be not everyone heard about them. Just a guess.
It was only in 1997 that GG was arrested in the UK for having indecent images on his PC, which were discovered when he took it PC World for repair, not the dark ages, jno.
It was a huge scandal at the time and there were many jokes about him both in the media and between friends. People did listen to the news on the radio and watch it on tv. I would be very surprised if there was anybody over 14 at the time that was unaware of it.
The scandal about him having sex with very young girls in Vietnam was around 2005/6 and there was plenty of media reports about that, too.

it was a scandal, not a huge scandal, hc. I think it takes a huge scandal to get people coming forward to reveal shameful secrets; you need to be really confident the world will at last take you seriously.
The internet was around in 1997 but also not in particularly wide use. I think I'd only just started on it myself (though obviously those with specialist interest like Glitter were quicker on the uptake). No Google (I can remember it starting up), no AB, if you wanted anything you had to faff round on Lycos and Yahoo. It wasn't a news medium as it is now.

And this is the part of your post that I was referring to.
Hence my reply stating that I hadn't made the remark you chose to accuse me of.
I made no suggestion whatsoever of the numbers involved, so I do not need to supply you with any "recognised statistical evidence to the contrary".
