18 years old he is. This is just sick!

And I went to the same school with this scumbag. It happened since I did my GCSE's and I'm now currently in my first year into a degree.

I am lost for words. Scumbad

I'm not sure what I think about woodycot's comment, below.

Innocent until proven guilty. Be careful what you say.

True, I shouldn't be jumping to conclusions, but you just can't help but feel sick about the whole situation.

Not sure how I feel about The Argus posting his address given the sensitivity of this case

And it's not a big road either only a little cul-de-sac

Personally I feel that the naming of anyone simply charged with anything is wrong and should not be published unless found guilty.

But that's always been such a nice area!!!

 

[Bill Cassidy's tie up]

It says from 2008 when he would have been 13 to 14 not excusing or condoning but seems a bit harsh naming and address given. Not exactly a paedo

Looked him up on FB, didn't know the name but recognise the kid from around the village, to be quite honest he always struck me as one of the nicer ones, used to come into the co-op a lot when I worked there and although he dressed and tried to act like some wannabe drugs mule, he was always polite, courteous, let old ladies go ahead of him e.t.c. Certainly never noticed him around Downlands but then he must be 4 years below me.

If I had to make a list of all the utter scumbags living in Hurstpierpoint he certainly wouldn't have been near the top.

That's the thing though, if you were going to be a serial killer/nonce would you go round being obnoxious to people or would you walk round with a casual nod and smile so as to blend into the background without people noticing you.

I'm not entirely sure a 16 year old (which he would've been at the time) would have the clarity of thought to do that...

Sign of the times: When you said 'sick' I thought you meant it as the slang for 'good.'

That's your first mistake then - to underestimate someone on the basis of age.

He was in the year below us!

There was an interesting point made on the Argus comments section that the naming of people charged with sexual offences might help persuade other victims to come forward.

What?... What?.... What?

I'm stunned.
Feels like someone has stomped a mud hole into me.

Sorry, couldn't resist.
