Was it right to name Dave Lee Travis, in the Jimmy Saville paedophile investigation?
After all there seems little proof that he was guilty of nothing more than an alleged offence of a sexual nature against two grown women, and for the very offence of being arrested without charge, he has already been dropped from his Magic AM show.

There is a bit of a climate of a media feeding frenzy on old celebs. The Lee Travis allegations are of an entirely different nature and seriousness than the Saville ones.
It is right yhat it has been reported by the media, to with hold it fact would be wrong, but the nature of the reporting and linking it to Savill is unfair and incorrect.

He wasn't named in the *JS paedophile investigation*.

/// Should celebrities have their names hidden from the press when arrested? ///
/// Why should they be treated differently from Joe Public? ///
You are quite right, they shouldn't.
But that is not what I actually said in my headline, WAS IT RIGHT TO NAME THIS CELEBRITY?
Had it had been 'Joe Public' then in the same circumstances, I would have put similar.
With such life destroying alleged connections to such vile crimes such as these, everyone deserves to remain anonymous until charged with a particular offence.

That does not explain why he was interviewed by the Operation Yewtree team, set up to investigate child abuse allegations.
Either the Yewtree team have fresh allegations of underage activity or they were operating outside of their remit. If it was he later, then the 'hairy cornflake' has cause to feel aggrieved.
