Yes, but it's a fine line, isn't it? At what point does it go from being OK to something that is totally wrong? What pushes someone a little bit further down that line?

For me, it's the child / victim who's important in all this, surely? If something has happened to them, they have to live with it the rest of their lives - it's a sentence for them. Plus if they have been sexually abused, they're more likely to become young abusers themselves, so it's a downward spiral.

It's right to say that someone is "innocent until proven guilty" but it's got to be investigated. I believe that there should be tighter controls on the media reporting.
