Subject: RE: BS: Edward Heath -what's point?
"Unlike other European countries the UK has no statute of limitations applying to serious sexual crimes." Wikipedia

Posts urging that the statutes of limitation have expired according to US state laws are therefore irrelevant and unhelpful, as no allegations from any such territories apply to the case.

Allegations are being investigated by the competent authorities. Other competent authorities will decide whether the results will warrant any further action or statements.

Meanwhile, as Dick says, we shall have to bide our time for the outcome -- which is not to suggest that discussion, on this thread or elsewhere, should IMO be inhibited. It is bound to be a topic of interest to historians, and to all of us who recall the period and the personalities concerned.
