The broadcaster Stuart Hall has pleaded guilty to 14 sex offences
 Does sound like they might have evidence in these cases? Probably/hopefully more to do with remorse Remorse? Unlikely. He was publicly and fiercely denying all up to now. Doesn't necessarily mean that he wasn't remorseful. Bit bloody late to be remorseful. To think he was considered something of a national treasure to many, whilst in reality he'd been sexually assaulting children as young as 9. Vile man. I'm definitely not condoning his actions and he should be shot for what he did. |

Deal probably done or hinted at. The CPS/police need a very public win, they want this to go through as soon and as publically as possible. Probably showed him what they had and offered soft prison if he pleaded guilty considering his age.
I used to tune in to the Radio 5 Live's match reports just for his one, normally a Championship game in recent years, I thought they were wonderful. Now this comes to light and you think to yourself 'You spent that much time going out of your way to listen to this kind of person?' Shocked and appalled.

He's nearly dead? Hopefully, he'll be imprisoned for a long time, and it will also act as a sign that perpetrators of such vile crimes cannot feel safe even if they think they might have escaped prosecution for a long time. Hopefully, it will help victims of rape and other sexual assault report the crimes to the police sooner and they might feel more confident that their allegations will be taken seriously and investigated fully. That in turn might protect others from becoming victims to these sad, pathetic and vile men. |

I think he'll have some sort of 'illness' very soon into his jail term and need to go to a prison hospice or the like. |

kevin o sullivan on twitter (tv critic) has hinted for a while that there is still a lot more to come out
infact his recent tweet
"See what I mean? These TV people are so often frauds. You should never buy the image they try to project."
sums it up quite well

Do you think the Mirror's TV critic has any access to the "talent" whatsoever?
I'd imagine his opinion is no more valid that anyone on this forum to be honest.
Still interesting 180 degree about turn from Hall. The police will be pleased as they can point to a success story for all the stones they have been turning over.

What is happening to those who did not investigate this all those years ago?
The JS/BR/SH cases must be looked at with some vigorous finger pointing going on...

All news is bad news.
I would hate to think what people think of our nation when our top stories are all about the sexual abuse of children, then and now.

Yes, this does need to be looked at. If they could have stopped future abuses from happening, but chose not to act, then they are in some way culpable. |
