If all the claims are to be believed, there are still people alive who participated in the abuse of these young vulnerable people. Those who stood by and allowed it to happen through fear of losing their job perhaps, these people have the potential to be charged with a crime. Aiding and abetting criminal activity perhaps.

I remember reading about how Corey Haim (now deceased) was the subject of a lot of attention in America when he was a young teen from unscrupulous agents. Not all the attention he received was appropriate. Those that did it believed they were powerful and were above the law.

Imagine being a young female back in the 70’s. You get to meet an icon of the day, you are nervous, excited, and would do anything to be in the mere presence of that person. Then out of the blue, this person, this much loved icon decides that he is going to take advantage of you, touch you in intimate places you know that a man should never touch you. But this is no ordinary man, this is Jimmy Saville. When it’s over, he is all smiles, he bestows you with gifts perhaps. All you can do is smile and take them while inside you are breaking down into pieces that no one can ever mend. Then years later, when the very fine line of child abuse is now a very thick line that should never be crossed is a subject that isn’t taboo anymore, you decide to come forward. Jimmy is dead now, and you know you can never see the man suffer for his crimes, but you carried this for years and people need to know he wasn’t a patron saint of anything. Imagine the horror of reading that you should move on, get over it, nothing good will come of it, he’s dead now so what is the point of raking up something that happened years ago. How do you explain to people that you can never get over it, that it made you hate men for years. Yes, sexual abuse only matters while the person who committed the crime is alive, it doesn’t matter that there are potential victims out there who carry this burden of guilt still, because many victims believe they are the one who is to blame. But that doesn’t matter because he’s dead now, he can’t possibly be charged with any crime. So what happened to you doesn’t matter one jot now either, it’s over and done with. Finished.

Try telling the family of Claire McAlpine that once her abusers are dead, it doesn’t matter anymore that she was used for sexual gratification by showbusiness DJ’s back in the day. That taking her life was the only way out, but once the perpetrators are all dead, it doesn’t matter because it’s over then isn’t it? Forget that her family were robbed of their daughter, of a chance of grandchildren because grown men in showbusiness that knew better couldn’t keep their dirty little hands off young girls. But it doesn’t matter to you does it. It wasn’t you, it wasn’t your daughter, it wasn’t your life that was wrecked.

So yes, lets sweep it all under the carpet, where it doesn’t exist anymore.

What concerns me more is that it might have been alot worse than a few pixelated photographs. Imagine if that had been a long range sniper rifle instead of a long range lens.

Overly dramatic I might be, but those headlines could have been a whole different scenario. :?

Good for him! Nothing like getting out your pecker and waving it around while having a good time. 8)
