Yep A likely suspect.

[Zacs-Master]

Thanks ummmm.

[ummmm]

I can't say I'm surprised.

Looks like the police have no doubts.

[boxtops]

Good

I know it won't be a popular view but I have some sympathy for GG.
Doubtless young girls threw themselves at him & while it's easy to
say he was the adult & should have known better,none of us walked
In his shoes. Perhaps if girls had behaved in a certain way towards me
when young I'd take it as the norm & treat women in a different fashion.

[Zacs-Master]

thetaliesin....I think you should look at the allegations of Rape made against Gadd before having sympathy for him.

[boxtops]

I think thetalie's referring to general groupieness, which is a slightly different scenario than innocent young girls and boys going to the BBC for an adventure eg Jim'll Fix It - it's not at all the same as hanging around the stage door after pop idols.

Freddie Starr swears he's innocent, he's offered to be interviewed by the police but yesterday's police quote says they won't interview him.

[tonyav]

Mmmmmm, Freddie Starr, anyone else think that he protests a bit to much !

[Mick-Talbot]

Not in the least bit surprised at that one But have the police got the balls to drag in and question the other names that have been mentioned.
I won't name names obviously but rumour has it he wasn't the only DJ at it.

Savile most definitely had help .........name them shame them.

For instance who was supposed to be looking after the welfare of the girls from Duncroft approved school ?

Who gave him free rein at Broadmoor?

[Zacs-Master]

Yes but it must have been very easy to abuse the innocent star struck vulnerability of a 14 YO groupie. They knew what they were (allegedly) doing, the groupies didn't.

[excelsior-1]

forgive my naivity, but isn't glitter already behind bars for such offences?

[Zacs-Master]

I don't think it's a question of the police having the balls, but having the evidence Mick.

[tonyav]

No he's not, excel.

[boxtops]

he's been in and come out again

[Mick-Talbot]

You do not need evidence to merely question people.
Start posing questions to DJ's, BBC bosses of the time, governor of Broadmoor, Head of Dunscroft. I have read someone who has appeared in Eastenders says a top politician abused him, question him.

Who knows where this will end (a paedophile ring is not out of the question)but it needs a no holds barred investigation.

[ummmm]

One of the girls from Duncroft reported Savile. She was told to shut up!!!!

[LochNessMonster]

He said "It good to be back "
