"The relish with which some of you have picked this man apart is slightly sickening."
I am extremely glad that these allegations are coming to light. Indeed I am always glad when allegations of this sort are exposed rather than remaining dirty secrets. Very glad indeed that these crimes are no longer being concealed either by the victims OR by those who suspected by chose to do nothing, either for the realistic fear of being disbelieved, or for the fear of harm being done to careers. The more such crimes are revealed, the less easy it is for the systematic abuse of children by powerful people or within powerful organisations, to occur in the future. As someone who was abused, I have a deep and personal interest in such stories. I'm not ashamed of that. I'm also glad to see apologists leave this thread.
