"It's the sun headline I discount the daily sport all the stories are made up" That was the point of it. | |||

"Please tell me you are joking and that's not really a genuine headline? What away to trivialise and dumb down sex offenders its not what you call a serious sex offender though, if all he did was touch a womans tits." I think you missed out the word non-consensually. What next, you'll be telling us she enjoyed it? Or was asking for it? | |||

I've never understood the logic of downplaying an offence simply because other crimes are worse. It's not a sliding scale. | |||

"It is a sliding scale Goosing someone's bum is not the same as rape" | |||

"It is a sliding scale Goosing someone's bum is not the same as rape" No of course it's not the same. And I haven;t said it is. But implying that a woman who has been sexually assaulted is fortunate that she could have been raped is pretty twisted logic. And back on topic trivialising a conviction in the way the Sun's headline has is wrong. | |||

How many times have you had your arse squeezed, tits groped by a d*unk in a night club? I know for one, quite a few occasions. The police would of laughed at me had I of gone to the station and filed a complaint. | |||

"since jimmy savile this has got stupid, I don't believe all these famous people are guilty either. if its an ordinary woman the police wouldnt bother their arses." What has 'got stupid'? on the police I would say they have a long way to go in their sadly lamentable historic record on dealing with sexual offences so partly in agreement.. on the substantive issue, its an offence under the law and whilst one person may well be able to 'deal with' the issue at the time or forget it and move on others wont.. | |||

" And that's what's wrong with the police and our attitudes. Touching someone WITHOUT consent is wrong in ANY situation. " I agree. The difference in severity between sexual touching and more heinous crime is recognised in sentencing guidelines. | |||

"I didnt think this would go all serious but it has. Am I right - DLT is guilty of touching a woman's breasts for 10 seconds? She is a tv presenter? " Not really a presenter - it doesn't take long to work out who it is with age, dates, previous jobs etc. A minor celeb, put it that way. Many people won't know her though although I've always had a bit of a soft spot for her. Anyway, it's still an offence however much some in here want to trivialise it. An unwanted grope is sexual assault, simple as that. Put it another way, ask yourself if you would be happy if he'd done that your daughter - if the answer is no then you can see that behaviour like that is wholly unacceptable | |||

No idea as I haven't followed the full ins and outs of the case, but the jury did and found him guilty of that charge but not guilty of two others, so they must have seen enough evidence to reach that verdict in their opinion | |||

And then people wonder why people don't go to the police. Even in the face of a conviction, the perpetrator is getting sympathy in some quarters | |||

"How was the charge proved? Have any people who are not perceived as being celebrities been charged and or convicted of sexual improprieties with other commoners for something alleged to have happened 20yrs ago? Compo culture has a lot to answer for. " 15 or 20 years ago I sat on a jury that was about historical sexual abuse. While it might be uncommon it's not an entirely new phenomena | |||
