Subject: RE: Jimmy Savile :-( UK disc jockey
Dave the Gnome asks if Savile's Glitters and Co's victims were complicit in their own abuse' by wearing the wrong clothes, gushing over celebrities, inappropriate behaviour..."

NO I DID NOT.

I pointed out that certain people on this thread supported this philosophy. If you cannot be bothered to read even parts of the thread I linked then I will make it simple. I abhor the view that the victims of any such crime can be made, even partially, a scapegoat. Yet at least 2 of the people who are being very vociferous here suggested that the victims of rape can be held responsible for the actions of their attackers. There is no need for me to name the perpetrators. The sickening proof is in the thread.

Now, Eliza, go and look at the thread and see how wrong your assertion that I hold that view is. Apologies not required.

Cheers
