    Well that’s good, because as far as I know he hasn’t been convicted yet. Innocent until proven guilty.

      Wow. Innocent until proven guilty wasn’t implemented in the UK until The Human Rights Act of 1998.

      Was it implemented prior to that, or is that really a new thing?

      1000006910 I’m only using one example that has been corroborated, but there’s a lot of allegations on him going way back, to the extent that this was an open secret in the industry? I don’t understand what you need to see from a conviction that you can’t already. Public opinion isn’t the same as legal.
