Next in line for public crucifixion is ......👇 Far from making light of this , I spent years investigating both real time and historical sexual offences. The law dictates that we are all innocent until proved guilty and it is for a Jury to convict on the evidence presented in Court (assuming a not guilty plea). That's the Criminal Justice system and it is completely understandable why many victims don't want to go there. What I find harder to accept is how these people are platformed by the media just as Saville was to the point where they believe they can act with impunity. It is also alarming where Society itself does not act proactively when presented with warning signs. An example being Russell Brand sitting on a stage in front of an audience and openly stating "I raped someone" and they sat there like lemmings laughing. In my humble opinion it's gone beyond time that we all need to take a good look at ourselves and call these people to account earlier. Walk out of their shows when they cross the line, stop treating them like demi gods, insist that their employer investigates misconduct allegations, encourage the media to have a higher degree of morality .... not just rely on the Courts to solve the problem for by then the damage has been done. Alternatively just wait for the next crucifixion...
