Stuart Hall - Guilty!

[Leyth Blue]

What is it he has actually done? Has he actually raped a child!?

The report on BBC says that he "has fondled the breasts of some 16 & 17 year olds" (who amongst us hasn't!!), kissed a girl aged 13 on the lips and most distubingly put his hand up the clothing of the 9 year old.

Errmm, as a 16/17yr old lad - Yes.
As a grown man - No.

I'm pretty sure the above offences are the thin end of the wedge.

 

[SWP's back]

This is bad. Very, very bad.

No it was bad, very bad for the poor girls at the time.

It is actually very good that he will now pay.

In a nutshell, which is why he has pleaded guilty to lesser offences at the first opportunity to get his sentence reduced.
The last thing he needed was for the truth to come out in open court.
Which is why I doubt he will go to prison.

I feel very sad that Hall has turned out to be guilty of these offences. It's very hard to associate him with such crimes, and very confusing. A friend thinks this is the present prosecuting the past, but for what reason, he can't say. But there is a strange sense of revenge being visited upon perpetrators of acts that were somehow accepted (although clearly wrong) by a more puritannical (or self-righteous) ethic.
I wonder if in 30 years we won't be seeing Johnathan Ross or Keith Lemon arrested for saying 'fuck' on telly.

Probably not no, because saying "fuck" is nothing compared to trying to finger a 9 year old.

Uh-oh. That's one nil to City in the Nonce Derby.

Yes but we know they always come good in the later stages.

Oooooooosh!
