Oh so he's not actually been found guilty of anything yet then? Otherwise he'd be behind bars before now, eh?
As I said before, I am *not* passing judgment either way, I am just saying the guy has a right to a fair trial, in court, and until the police actually have *real* evidence he has the right to not be gossipped about and his guilt assumed.....and yes i said the same thing about Gary Glitter at the time before he went to trial. I would defend anybody that right.
But please note, I also said here that I think convicted love offenders get let off too light, and that includes GG.
Judge not, for thee may be judged.....reading back on some of your other posts on here Ashbelove, if there was a love crime near you, it wouldn't take the police long to quote you off here and make it look as if you might be a suspect.......Now i am not saying you would be that way inclined, I am just saying it's all too easy for others to 'interpret' what they want to suit their own gossipy minds.....I have the quran on my bookcase, I talk to myself sometimes, I am a loner with few friends....does that make me a terrorist suicide bomber? No of course not, no more than your fantasies posted here make you another gary glitter! BUT, the police - and my neighbors - might not see it that way if they had a mind to make me 'fit the bill'.

No-one likes kiddie-fiddlers, probably not even themselves.......
And I know how easy it is to join the angry mob, it is just a case of sitting down for just 5 minutes and thinking, well, what if he IS innocent?
Think of the consequences, and how it will effect probably the rest of his life.

But then, it is not like you gave his address, or posted a picture of him though is it?

This thread needs closing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Innocent till proven guilty, how do you know the copper in question waqs not just telling you hearsay????

A neighbour of mine was murderd a couple of years ago, and ex of his took unkindly to being dumped and decided to get her daughter to lie and say he molested her. the police came and arrested him and told all of us he was a suspected love offender. well the case got droped after the daughter admited that she lied because her mum told her too, but that rumor never got out did it, no because 3 weeks later i was awoken at 3 am to the sound of him screaming where he was being kicked to death by vigilanties. i called the police but they were too late. my neghbour, whos only crime was falling out of love with a woman, was murderd due to malicous rumors spread by hearsay like you have posted on the world wide web. i still sit here 2 years later and wish to god if only i had woken sooner and got help there quicker he would still be alive today.

My advice to you is not to post things like that on a public forum and for gods sake to have some f'ing morals and obide by the law that everyne is innocent till proven guilty. Have you not thought that his weird rambles could be down to some kind of mental instability and rather than judging him you should try and help him???

Im sorry yeah maybe i sound like miss goody two shoes but in this life i would hope that people would look out for me as i would look out for them in times of need, not judge me with small minded pedudice just because of chinese wispers?

Get off your soap box and get some bloody morals!!!!!!!!

Rumour, how dangerous, how foolhardy!

And who is this person to say such rumours on a publicaly viewable forum?
What is his provenence, his credentials that would make us consider his words as honest relaying of information?

If the man is guilty then its another matter, and clearly he has been arrested so we are told. Then let his case be heard, as a 'free' induvidual he must be judged in unbiased fashion, or else the law is biased and not a system for justice.
If he is innocent, then this is slander.

Slander is spoken, libel is written. But he never gave details of the guy's identitiy, so I guess that leaves him free to say whatever. After all, ashbelove has just as much right to his 'take' on the subject as the rest of us. Most of us just dont happen to agree.
I wouldn't like to see this thread locked just because it is a sensitive issue, I for one find it an interesting topic - as long as summat is debated fairly and within the houserules, I dont think any subject should be off-limits.
