Stuart Hall, 15 months.

Why hasn't Bill Wyman been arrested yet?

Mandy Smith is now 42 - how old does that make us all feel?

How old was Mandy Smith when Bill Wyman first felt her?

She might be 42 but she's well fit in comparision to his current wife. I thought it was a picture of him with another band member!

Seems Aaron wasn't the only one who thought 15-months was unduly lenient: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-23271739

edit: Apologies, didn't realise this was old news:

attorney general reviewing the sentence

[kinboshi]

The court heard that in the 1980s, Hall molested a nine-year-old girl by putting his hand up her clothing.

He also kissed a 13-year-old girl on the lips after saying to her: "People need to show thanks in other ways."

Can't believe that the BBC site has summed up his offences like this. Having read the court report linked to earlier in this thread, his offences were far more gross and sinister than they portray (although obviously these two offences are bad enough).

agreed

not quite sure why or how the bbc felt the need to express the offences like that

at best very inaccurate

[kinboshi]

Wonder if that's the case that was 'on file' (whatever that means), or an entirely different one?

[horseplayer]

not sure not much detail yet

Not in any way to demean a very grave matter, but it is a sad day when one of only three serious newspapers in the UK does not employ subeditors who do their job without at least a degree of competence.


used his celebrity status to pray on young girls.

Which are the three? Five serious dailies surely - Times, Independent, Guardian, FT, Torygraph.

I guess you're not counting the FT. The Times has turned pretty easy-reading in the last few years, but surely it still counts as a serious newspaper.

Times, Telegraph, Guardian.

The FT is stunningly good, excellent in every way, but I see it as a specialist daily, rather than a regular newspaper.

The Independent is but a shadow of its former self, in my personal opinion. Very little real, in depth, news.

They should have used that as a subtle pun during the last Vatican scandal.

[The Camel]

What are the chances of him getting a fair trial if these new allegations make it to court?

He's reviled by the whole country
