Stuart Hall and now Max Clifford. Who will be next?

Good question.

But if we start guessing we could be done for libel...

I was about to suggest a sweepstake, but we'd end up in multiple libel cases.

It's getting ridiculous, trying to clear up messes made years ago. Witchhunt. Probably for compensation. These were grown women.

I guess Max Clifford should get in touch with a good PR man.

Not grown women in Stuart Halls case I believe.

I am afraid that male "celebs" think that they have carte blanche with females. A well-known TV person came to my work place many years ago to present a programme and the first thing he wanted to know was "Where are the girls for me?" Sickening. Good thing it was not me he asked or he would have got very short shrift.

Oh! (to Jodi)

The thing is, though, it is grown up women making the accusations about something that supposedly happened many years ago.

It's all getting out of hand.

Does not mean that these guys have stopped though does it petallus - they may be still abusing.
I think the sexual harassment allegations within the BBC against adult females, though serious, should be dealt with by the BBC as appropriate e.g. terminate contract or take disciplinary action via their procedures. And I think that is what is happening.

Some of the victims did try to complain at the time but the culture was such that they were not believed, or they were believed but nobody was willing to confront the powerful men.
If somebody had assaulted me or my daughters I would want them brought to justice no matter how long it took.
I think we must not give the impression that we accept the same culture that allowed it to happen. These incidents were not trivial to many of the women or children. DNA is now providing the means of trying people for murders committed thirty years ago - surely the time lapse does not confer immunity.

The young girls in the sixties were a bit immature and could be taken advantage of. Hopefully this will be a warning to the girls of today .Maybe the famous people will keep there hands to themselves.
