    this was discussed in the media months ago- it was in the paper

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2046351/Michael-Le-Vell-Coronation-Streets-Kevin-Webster-battle-claims-rape-girl-6.html

    Thats from 2011

    I knew id heard it before

    The allegations were first made 17 months ago but the charges were dropped 4 months later due to lack of evidence. As of last night/today he has been charged with 19 separate charges, including of of raping a child. It's a new (big) update on an existing story.

    There is a set of guidelines in place for what a society considers right and wrong, based on the common values of the members of that society and the society as a whole, which does consider things on a gradient scale - it's called the law.

    But that'd only atypically be after the act, they might intervene when it might not have even actually happened at all if you get my drift buf we need the law for such then so be it... religion, too tbh.

    Merely pointing out the location of a more approroaite forum does not the police maketh. And the OP might get a more appropraite respeonce (althoguh what would entail is difficult to tell with a lack of personal input from said poster) from such advice.

    Police aren't meant to drink type.

    Says who (hic!)?

    Anyway, I tend not to prrofread what I type in internet fora. To me that;s one step short of OCD.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    I can only imagine the child turns out to be 17 years and 8 months old.
    And sexual offenses are typical of a celebrity of the era, ie taking advantage of he fame ,

    Now does not make it right, But I sense its being make sound more dramatic that it is

    The offences he's been charged with happened over a 9 year period from 2001 to 2010, so no, he isn't being charged due to an affair with an older teenager. And as the age of consent in the UK is 16, an affair with a 17 year old would be no crime at all.

    I can only assume the last few posters have a problem with their keyboards. Or am I missing something.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,659 ✭✭✭CrazyRabbit


    Charged not equal to guilty. Steady on folks, like Oscar Pistorious, he is innocent until proven guilty

    Nope, it's guilty, even if proven innocent. Welcome to trial by tabloid!

    I reserve all judgement until a jury delivers a verdict.

    Its estimated about 3% or 4% of the general population are pedophiles*. Most don't molest and go under the radar, when they do we may or may not hear about it. But when a celebrity pedo molests you can't not hear about it.


    *To put that in perspective that's between 1 in 33 and 1 in 25 of people. How many people are on your FB friends list?

    So out of the 70 replies here already, who do you think are the 2 pedo's?

    On Thursday, Alison Levitt QC, Principal Legal Advisor to the Director of Public Prosecutions said: “I have very carefully reviewed the evidence in this case and I have concluded that there is sufficient evidence and it is in the public interest to charge Michael Robert Turner with a number of sexual offences.”

    “I have authorised Greater Manchester Police to charge Mr Turner with nineteen offences, including rape of a child.”

    That I did not know,

    Nowhere in the article does it say it was 1 person, in fact Im guessing 19 seperate charges on 1 person would be fairly impossible? But anyway it dosn't say 1 person.

    Maybe, but I'd take a wild guess a suggest they didn't charge him lightly.

    I'm obviously jumping the gun but I'd take a leap and say the trial is just a formality in this case.


    Even if cops feel they have a watertight case, it could all fall apart on one detail. Wait and see tbh. Some of these defense lawyers are good at tearing prosecution witnesses apart that the case could collapse easily with one word. Dont forget the burden of proof is on the prosecution


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,798 ✭✭✭✭DrumSteve


    Odd, last time I seen him he was under a 14 year old escort.

    This is the internet, I'm just hoping I'm not the only normal one here.

    There are numerous laws to protect children which would be relevant to a case like this. If the alleged rape occurred more than once that would cause multiple counts of the same charge to be added (which are addressed in court as separate charges).

    Maybe the jury will take into consideration this case.

    Brewer, a former National Youth Choir music director, and his ex-wife were found guilty on five counts of indecently assaulting the former music student more than 30 years ago.

    The 68-year-old was convicted of sexually abusing her in his office at Chetham's School of Music in Manchester when she was aged 14 and 15.

    The back of me bollocks it is. One person in twenty five is a paedophile? Leaving aside the obvious nonsense of "being" a paedophile as opposed to being mentally ill, this is a particularly Orwellian comment, and not in the good way.

    Your opinion of it is irrelevant.

    The statement that "Its estimated about 3% or 4% of the general population are pedophiles" is factually and verifiably true.


    And referring to someone who exhibits pedophiliac behavior as a pedophile is hardly nonsense.

    And which chapter of the daily fail did you haul this out of? I'd be quite interested to see the peer reviewed journal with verifiable research statistics on the matter. What, doesn't exist? Colour me shocked. Once again fuck off you failed hysteria riser.

    So a couple of well healed clowns talk to one hundred people and find that three are interested in kids, they do not ask them did they ever grow up, like Michael Jackson, and they came to the conclusion they were pedos. Sicience.

    I don't have a study, then again I'm not asserting the 4% to be true. I'm asserting it to be an estimate.

    In the Time article above it references the originator,
    Dr. John Bradford, a University of Ottawa psychiatrist who has spent 23 years studying pedophilia--which is listed as an illness in the manual psychiatrists use to make diagnoses--estimates its prevalence at maybe 4% of the population.

    There you go. Now pull that stick out of your arse.

    I daresay Dr Bradford could find a few things wrong here.

    No, it's bollocks, and the exact same brand of bollocks used by every politician and every demagogue ever to excuse any number of excesses, so forgive me if I turn a sceptical eye on it.
