These sex pests are actually are everywhere.

They are in entertainment, the media, politics, education, big business, and now we learn that they are in charities in large numbers.

Is nowhere safe from these pests? Apparently not.

It has been fairly obvious for some time that some of the claims have been a bit "opportunistic" in nature and some of them have been of low level "harassment", but the majority are not. Since Savile and Glitter there has been an avalanche of serious claims that prove our society has been hiding behind a veneer of respectability when much of it is depraved... and we do not seem to be able to get to grips with it.

Just a thought, but could it not be that they have always been there, but no-one ever considered complaining?

[Suff]

Aggers, for the opportunists and the ones who now believe they can punish minor nuisances, I think yes. But we know that with Saville there were real complaints made but not acted on. Even when Rape cases were acted on the license given to defence lawyers to defame the character of the complainant was often so extreme that women, it was almost exclusively women, would refuse to prosecute because it would just make the whole thing worse.

Attitudes have changed and so have trials.

I do worry about the collapse of so many rape cases recently where, if all the electronic evidence had been available to the defence at the outset, they would have never made it to trial

The old attitude of defending against false claims now proves to have a foundation to it

The problem now is to find a balance which works and stops the abuse.
