I saw parts of it.And its been very heavily covered on J. Vine which I listen to most days.But irrespective of what has been said and claimed, there is still the fundamental principle of justice, which is innocent till proven guilty.I have to say there are now many many claims, and looking at it disspassionately there comes a point where you may have to say well some must be right...though statistically its not correct to make that assumption. There also has been a media circus over it all now, which also will call into question whether people are just making claims in the hope of being famous for a while or even hopes of compensation.
Its why I just think, there will be nothing to come of it anymore. JS reputation is gone...what more can this do ?
Child abuse goes on all the time, this case may serve to highlight the issue now, but I cant see how future cases of abuse will be stopped because of these " revelations".
JS was not a relative ( of course) , but a leading icon in the 60s and 70s, and he did many sponsored runs/ walks etc. He was pivotal in raising funds for stoke mandeville. Its a tragedy whatever way you look at it ...for everyone.
What also concerns me is just how influential media campaigns can be in creating public opinion.... " no smoke without fire"...
