it seems like every DJ I ever listened to happily, is now under investigation for stuff we can't even contemplate.
Yet the Rock stars from the same era "and lets face it, they did some serious Sha@@ing", seem to be completely unmentioned in these enquiries.
I'm sure some of our most revered Rock Stars have "slept" with under age kids.
What's the difference? Either way its wrong isn't it?
So why aren't they being investigated?

Good point scimitar and you are probably right, there may be some out there 'bricking it' right now.
It only takes one person to start the ball rolling.

Townsend as I recall claimed that he was visiting child porn sites as research for his autobiography because he thought he'd been abused as a child by his gradnmother who was mentally ill. He also claimed it was these incidents that led him to write Tommy.
Given that Paul Gambaccini is gay it's not the same as Saville et al.

Innocent until proven guilty Pete - AFAIK Gambaccini hasn't even been charged yet.

I know this is resurrecting an old topic but today the MP Nigel Evans has been acquitted of all the charges brought against him.
William Roche - not guilty
Michael Le Vell - not guilty
DLT - not guilty
Jim Davidson no case to answer
Jimmy Tarbuck  no case to answer.
Now either the British judicial system isn't very good at trying people who are in the public eye or is anyone thinking that were Jimmy Saville still around to have his day in court he too might be acquitted?

Sadly we will never know. There were some pretty bad allegations against him though TBH  :-\
Isn't DLT being re-tried on a couple of counts ?

Not enough evidence at times for historic claims, so they have to go on what bit of evidence they have and maybe it's their words against the famous person when push comes to shove.
As for Savile we won't ever know will we - still found him a creep though.

Off topic but meanwhile Oscar Pistorious has had a right grilling today, defense were trying to prove he wasn't sensible with his fire arms and trying to get him to admit he was at fault.
I just though O.P. sounded like someone who just panicked and began shooting.
The case goes on

Coppers searched one of his houses this morning.

He's on holiday in Portugal.

My mum finally got to stand in a small queue of people waiting for autographs, she'd been a fan of his for decades.
He walked straight past them all and totally blanked them. She's not a fan now  :))
