Is the stigma of this crime so bad that people are afraid of reporting it because they will be assumed guilty by association if they do report it and thus don't report it? Thinking of Penn State as well. WTF does bankers have to do with sex crimes? Perhaps you should have your meds adjusted. ____________ | |

Thinking of Penn State as well. There's your answer! Your problem is that you only want to see what you want to see & aything outside your box is trivia. ____________ | |

A word called "Fraternisation" springs to mind here. If somebody is under investigation, that fact should be transmitted to all police forces which will prevent just that from happening. Oh dear, it looks like many officials may be lurking on the forum! Yard chief admits police forces failed to link information "Police forces across Britain failed to link separate allegations of abuse against Jimmy Savile while he was alive, Britain's most senior policeman admitted yesterday. Four forces were contacted by seven potential victims, but none was able to build a case strong enough to put before a court. Scotland Yard commissioner Bernard Hogan-Howe said detectives would have established 'a pattern of behaviour' had they known about the various investigations" Don't worry Commissioner, here's a "get out of jail" card for you to use: - "Technology as we have today was not available to us back then". ____________ | |

"Technology as we have today was not available to us back then". That is a fair and reasonable comment to make, given the circumstances. But these are very early times in all of this, and things are changing radically day by day. Police are expected to make more arrests in the coming days after releasing one-time pop singer Gary Glitter on bail on Sunday. I think it is far too soon yet to make any proper judgements, lets hold fire abd see what transpires. It is a very bad business all round, and more and more people are being drawn into it. Max Clifford the famous PR consultant, has already said that he has been contacted by scores of DJ's and pop stars around at the time, scared out of their wits that they might be implicated, even though they were totally innocent. The long term fall out from all this could be very far reaching. A total lose/lose situation for everyone. | |

Agree. However, even though I have lampooned/castigated/insulted those at the top, I find this year to be something out of the ordinary. | |

I find this year to be something out of the ordinary. I can agree wholeheartedly with you there I think. Unsettling times to say the very least. Trying to stand back and take a helicopter view of it all, there are a number of factors to it. A mid term UK government, USA presidential elections, an unusual amount of natural disasters, global and EU recession, general dissatisfaction with the current world order etc. Plus of course the media hyping it all up to make a living. But yes, the UK has had a bit of a bashing in 2012 on many fronts, and it's not over yet. But it is at times like these that the famous British bulldog spirit comes to the fore. People grit their teeth and carry on, making the best of it. | |
