What has her age got to do with it?
What would be enough to charge the man with assault?
Why is it nonsense?
What would be your time limitation for allowing the law to be involved?
Just asking.....

And that's the bad part of that scenario, the flip side is that an innocent person gets their name splashed all over the media outing them as a paedo. I'm just trying to add a bit of balance really as I can see why US is saying ewhat he's saying.
As I said, I would usually argue for anonymity but recent events have changed that view a bit. Ideally we'd just treat every case on it's merits and only name publicly if it was thought that multiple offences could've been committed, but in the real world it probably has to be one way or another. Mabye this is the answer and naming an innocent person is the lesser of two evils

WTF!!!
It's important that it gets dragged up now, otherwise what deterrant is there for similar men now? If I try to force myself on a 17 year old girl (not knowing whether she can 'fight me off' or not) I should be prosecuted, and not be able to hope she doesn't report it for a couple of days/weeks/years (where would you draw that line?!). Why should a woman need a badge saying 'don't force yourself on me' whatever her age?

Can you clarify please your stance on this.
Are you really suggesting that there should be a time limit on reporting crimes of a sexual; nature?
Many of the girls abused by Stuart Hall came forward once his name had been released. He's admitted he is guilty of this abuse. Without his name being in the public domain as a suspect/person of interest then many of the victims may not have done so. He is guilty, but would've got away with it.
The naming of suspects should be decided on a case by case basis - having a blanket rule makes no sense.

Are you saying it's alright to forcibly kiss someone? That if they fought you off and escaped your clutches then it's all good?
This board is so full of politically correct people it's unbelievable.
Kissing someone is not assault in my book. If someone tries to kiss you and you don't want them to, try saying "no".
What age has to do with it is that her age was the reason she was interviewed.
This happened in the 60s and 70s. Many of you weren't around at the time. Let me tell you life was a lot more fun back then. And I mean for both guys AND girls.
It's not that. It's that you're a ****ing simpleton.
It is if you force yourself on someone. At what point is a girl supposed to say "no"?
No, I'm not saying that, but treating it as a crime
Get real. Carrying this on to it's logical conclusion, 40 years from now, people will be convicted for kissing people on the cheek in 2012 without being invited to. Ooh, he kissed me on the cheek when we met, it was awful, I felt so "used", I tried to push him away .... etc etc
As soon as she wants to, I suggest.
She's not going to get a chance if you force yourself on her, is she?
What a shocking attitude to women, you have.
Maybe she should wear a badge...
You are one wierd ****er. And this is me being polite. And as for that cat-nonce; shocking attitude towards women.
