Frank Erskine I think there were many allegations before he died but, since a dead person can't sue for libel, they were only published after he died. There probably wasn't enough evidence to prosecute and the newspapers wouldn't want to get into a libel suit for something they couldn't prove. Undoubtedly, many are jumping on the 'Jim fixed me' bus. |

Yes I know, and there have been stories for years of people having to earn
their entry into the parties some of the stars and djs threw back in the 70s etc. Its all down to temptation and the purks of being famous. So many have succumbed.

There will almost certainly be some of that happening, but it seems unlikely that accounts for all. The fact the various police investigations seem to be taking it seriously would suggest that there was corroborating evidence brought by independent witnesses / victims - and possibly with details that are not in the public domain. It just seems odd that ALL accusation occured after his death. IIUC there was plenty of undercurrent of suggestion, rumour, doubt etc expressed during his life time. Many cases are going to be difficult to judge since they happened in a very different age with very different accepted norms of behaviour. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

The police love all that. A nice little gravy train with lots of overtime. Just add it to the list of pointless tasks they waste their time on |

It's onyl now anyone will believe it, of course there will be peole jumping on teh bandwagon but iof they'ev been abuse they should be allowed to climb on. -- Frank Erskine |
