If found guilty cut his nuts off, he will think twice before doing it again.

Re: Corries Kevin up on child rape charges
 

That's the end of his career. I believe he is innocent, but even if found not guilty you will still get people who believe he is guilty. Wonder how lon it is before Kevin Webster is killed off.

Re: Corries Kevin up on child rape charges
 

Hasn't he been up before for something, or is my memory waining.

Re: Corries Kevin up on child rape charges
 

Yes he has - according to Mrs G who is the soapy Oracle.

It wouldn't surprise me if that's the end of Kevin, look at Matthew Kelly never found guilty but if you throw enough you know what then some will stick and he went from presenting all sorts on ITV to obscurity over night.

Anyway, if he's guilty put him away for a very long time in a very tough prison and let him take his chances. Now there's an idea how he could continue his acting career in a new reality TV show.....

If found guilty they should throw away the keys as crimes like these are nothing short of sickening and evil.

Re: Corries Kevin up on child rape charges
 

I never did like him. he's always had that face like where your mum would say "what you been up to? I can tell you've been up to something"

Re: Corries Kevin up on child rape charges
 

remember here everybody he has not been found guilty of any charges in a court of law. Im suprised and i hope he is innocent. Like if he is guilty they fry the pervert but let the courts decide on charges and guilt

Re: Corries Kevin up on child rape charges
 

A string of offences. Up on one offence then gives doubt but a string hmmmm

Re: Corries Kevin up on child rape charges
 

It looks like ITV have dropped him pending the outcome and it is also a prosecution of the original charges from 2011 that where initially dropped but reopened after a review by the cps

Re: Corries Kevin up on child rape charges
 

So CPS decide not enough evidence . Saville nightmare and they decide they should follow it through? perhaps they are worried things may come to light in the future so they want to be seen to do all they can maybe

Re: Corries Kevin up on child rape charges
 

I think you have hit the nail on the head there :tu:

Re: Corries Kevin up on child rape charges
 

Give it a few more years and people will be saying it's normal, mark my words. ;)

Re: Corries Kevin up on child rape charges
 

Maybe this is a pertinent time to raise this topic.

Re: Corries Kevin up on child rape charges
 

It's the decent thing to do..

Whut?

Am pretty sure the type of anonymity suggested is for keeping the accused and their reputation alive and in good standing while the case is tried, not to keep them safe from prosecution.

Re: Corries Kevin up on child rape charges
 

I would agree that that would be a good idea. Name and shame them once a guilty plea has been reached trial by media means no one gets a fair trial

Re: Corries Kevin up on child rape charges
 

i will wait for a trial before making a judgement - and i don't think any accused person should be named until after they have been found guilty by a court of law .

Re: Corries Kevin up on child rape charges
 

The only issue is if naming them encourages others to come forward. Saville would probably never have been discovered under such a system as each individual accusation would have likely have not been been enough to pursue him. Then again he got away with it anyway so...

Re: Corries Kevin up on child rape charges
 

but there have already been celebs named in operation yewtree as far as I am aware none of them have been charged. But their character has been called into question. What about compo and a large public apology for those found to be not involved?

Re: Corries Kevin up on child rape charges
 

It's a balancing act whether or not to name them or not to and i can see reasons on both sides to support their arguments. If i am honest i say no name should be given until a conviction is obtained that way if there are other victims they will come forward safe that a conviction has happened and they will not be at a disadvantage from the start. What such a policy would definitely do is prevent knee jerk public reaction based on an accusation and nothing more. We have seen on this very forum how people have reacted and whilst it is understandable because it involves a child i would rather wait till he has been found guilty before i put forward my opinion on his punishment.

Too many people in the past have been accused had their names plastered here, therre and everywhere and they were innocent trouble is a reputation takes years to make and can be undone for all time in a matter of minutes now we have the internet.

Re: Corries Kevin up on child rape charges
 

You can guarantee compo on a grand scale will be the order of the day for those NOT found guilty of any wrong doing. We as the tax payer are the ones who will pay those sums out.

Re: Corries Kevin up on child rape charges
 

And they should get it though imagine sitting there being question about being a nonce knowing you are innocent and knowing the public know you are there. It must be awful

I think at the very least no one should be named until charged with an offence at the very least. Just being taken in for questioning or helping with enquiries should not be public
