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

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.

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

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.

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"

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

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

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

Quote:

The actor was initially arrested in connection with the offences in September 2011.
The investigation was dropped three months later when authorities said there would be no further action taken against him as there was not enough evidence against him

However, following a review of the case by lawyers at the Crown Prosecution Service the decision has been taken that it is in the "public interest" to charge the actor.

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

I think you have hit the nail on the head there

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

Maybe this is a pertinent time to raise this topic.

It's the decent thing to do..

Quote:

She wants the change because sexual allegations carry "such a stigma".

But the charity Rape Crisis said anonymity for defendants would discourage people from reporting sex crimes and "victimise victims further".

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.
