Where will it all end ?

in prison, with luck.

[ummmm]

There has only been 12 'high profile' people arrested.

[youngmafbog]

Yep, should finish his days courtesy of Her Majesty.

I wonder how many past and present pop stars can say that they never took advantage of the hero worship from their teenage admirers?

One has only to see the frenzy that took place among the audiences to realise that many would have jumped at the chance to be invited back to the dressing rooms or lavish parties,

[ummmm]

I don't think it's those type of people making complaints, AOG!

[friedgreentomato]

Doesn't make it right though AOG does it.

one of his victims was 9 i doubt she was a groupie

[Sharingan]

Quite. The 'she looked 18 and threw herself at me' argument doesn't really hold water with girls like her does it?

AOG

One was nine years old.

[bibblebub]

The admission is also a counter to the "it was so long ago why are they bothering/they can't have any proof" arguments against these investigations; if there was no basis to the charges then he could have just carried on denying everything.

[Zeuhl]

Perhaps Stuart Hall took the idea of 'Games without Frontiers' too far?

[anneasquith]

he is what used to be called '' a dirty old man ;;

Who made any reference to either Stuart Hall or any other particular pop-star or celebrity? I am sure that I did not.

[ummmm]

The thread is about him!

The OP

And Stuart Hall has remained the subject of the thread both before and after your ill-judged contribution

[dave50]

Past 'It's a knock out' shows will never be shown on TV again along with any Top of the Pops featuring Jimmy Saville. If it carries on like this UK Gold will have to close down.

aog, your post is certainly relevant if you classify Stuart Hall as a pop star ; let's proceed on that basis. How many pop stars have been charged with sexual offences? Not many, if any. And what is your view of the law, both in the decades relevant to these enquiries and now? Do you think it right that a girl below the age of consent , and however willing, should be allowed, by law, to have sexual intercourse with a pop star who is of age ? We'll leave the question of mere assault to one side.

Yes that is so, but I was addressing the "Where will it all end?" point, when I mentioned past and present pop stars and their audiences.
