It was more than a bit sad for all concerned that the original case did not come to court. It must be hoped this time a court will now be able to hear all the evidence and finally decide the issues.

If he is found not-guilty - one can only hope that he will be advised to change some of his activities with other peoples's children - so as not to place himself at risk again.

Whatever the court outcome - we can only hope that those who are paid and entrusted with looking after his own children - do the best job they can.
