When will this end? (now William Roache)

[lissie]

I see yet another one has been arrested for past actions
This time William Roache (Ken Barlow).'
I wonder how they will write him out---send him with Kevin to
see his Dad or let him sail away on a canal boat with the bird he met?

They shouldn't be allowed to name them early. If proved innocent eventually it will still have ruined their lives.

[Lozzles]

Oh no, not another. Smacks of a witch hunt to me

They are all household names because of television. Where are the female abusers, the ageing thespians, the elderly chefs, the homosexuals, the fashion and beauty doyens all lesser known by the masses but still alive?

Why no retired footballers, ancient rock stars being accused? The answer to the last question is probably because young girls threw themselves at rock stars and footballers so who'd believe them?

Having worked in the beauty business and kitchens plenty was going on then!

Why are all these unfortunate men being accused by women who are now in their sixties? I hope the tide turns and MC gets going with his defence and helps put and end to all this.

[TheOstrich]

This will only end when an accused person who is either not prosecuted due to lack of evidence or found not guilty after a trial sues the living daylights out of the accuser, the media, the police, and the CPS - or preferably all four ......

dont suppose these celebs can remember who they are anyway

[JoM]

Did he not boast a few years ago that he'd slept with around 1000 women?

[Aggers]

This is all very well. but perhaps the police would be better employed stopping crimes that are happening today.

Corrie does seem to spawn abusers. Does anyone remember the name of the actor who was caught some years ago when he was helping a little girl to learn to swim in a pool. He was done at the time though.

Edited, unnecessarily explicit.
