Not all potential paedophiles go onto offend some seem to be able to control their unnatural urges and sublimate this desire into their work. Benjamin Britten comes to mind http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britten%27s_Children
Is Freddie Starr still in police custody? What time was he arrested? I know Gary Glitter was in police custody for roughly 10 hours and then released on bail.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-20174081 The Metropolitan Police said officers arrested a man in his 60s, from Warwickshire, at 17:45 GMT in connection with the investigation. Mr Starr was released on bail between 01:00 and 01:30 GMT on Friday.
Its his word against hers, there is no evidence, nothing will happen.
Still cant believe that all these other celebrities knew something was going on and did nothing. Looking after their own careers instead of reporting child abuse, they should all be prosecuted for aiding and abetting
I don't understand why in cases such as these the accused's name is made public.
Me neither. This woman is trying to cash in (why else would anyome be interested in a book by a non-entity like this muppet) on something that might...or might not...have happened in the early 70's.
Why has this woman not had the guts to come out and accuse FS earlier?
"comedy legend" yeah right. And as for the statement about woman looking for easy money, I seem to remember similar statements about those speaking up about Saville a few weeks ago. Attitudes like this are what prevents people coming forward in the first place. The assumption that just because someone is well known, it must not be true - street angel, house or BBC dressing room devil. Anyway it was nice to see Mr. Starr fiancee standing by him, all 34 years of her!
Obviously all that "wanking" has played havoc with your literacy skills as no where in my post did I make reference to the word paedophile, you seem to have some inside information. As for the comment regarding age of his fiancee, merely observation given that he is over twice her age. Is that OK with you, to have an opinion that does not match yours???
Spoken like a true Sun journalist.
What was the point in coming out with innuendo about Starr in direct response to a discussion about allegations of underage sexual activity, incorrectly but prevalently referred to as paedophilia in the media and on this site?
Pointing out an age gap between Starr and his partner wasn't a clumsy attempt to imply guilt at all, was it? :rolleyes:
Once accusations like this are made they gain a momentum all of their own. Both Karen and Freddy are going to be in for a very stressful time if this gets to court.
Well then Karin should do the decent thing and go to the police and tell them that what she said has been blown up out of all proportion.
Max Clifford, on ITV, claims the BBC will be revealing "something shocking" today,
Someone from Newsnight.has told him.
I'm pretty sure it will be do with the children in need programme. Maybe BBC don't feel that they can't host the show what with all the allegations that have been made about them?

Thanks for the latest news on that ........................you've obviously got inside information.
FGS - how do you know that it was the Karen Ward accusation he was being questioned on? A lot of people have come forward with allegations since this story broke - he could have been arrested and questioned for any number of reasons but as there is 'no evidence and nothing will happen I guess we can all move on now.
1) The Police searched his house whilst he was at the station and took a couple of things away for further examination.
2) FS is now claiming he was abused as a child, is this a ploy that if he is found guilty of something that sympathy will be given and a possible lighter sentence?

Re number 2 this from 2009, looks like he made it known 5 years ago?
Starr is referring to a period of two years in his childhood when, at the age of six, he lost the ability to speak and was taken away from his family while he recovered.
In the last couple of years he revealed his father was abusive, bullying him and breaking both the six-year-old Starr's legs.
"It was a mental blockage that stopped me from speaking and I had no contact with my parents, brothers and sisters during that time.
While I personally think Freddie is a class A tw*t it does seem rather odd that he's been arrested over Savillegate. Surely it's got to be more than just an ancient allegation of indecent assault? That crime will result in little more than a police caution. There's got to be more going on.
As for the alleged incident with this Karin - blimey, it was 38 years ago. I'm not surprised FS can't remember. Not only was it a forgettable show from more than a third of a century ago but it's quite possible that FS and perhaps others weren't entirely sober during that period and memories are bound to be erratic.
I can't help but wonder if someone at ITV became aware of rumours about Freddie Starr last year and that was the real reason he left I'm A Celebrity early
I'm pretty sure it will be do with the children in need programme. Maybe BBC don't feel that they can't host the show what with all the allegations that have been made about them?
From reading other tweets, it would appear it's to do with a senior politician apparently being exposed as a paedo on Newsnight.

Surely that's the whole point it was so irrelevant to him (if it happened) but has left a lasting scar and impression on someone elses life. Just because he doesn't remember doesn't make it any less damaging to the person involved.
TBH - I think he's been questioned on more than the Karen Ward case - I think others may have come forward with similar stories.

No fun!
It's regularly reported the women is now 54 which makes her 16 in 1974?
If she was 16 then his denial is true. Wouldn't they be better off omitting her age.

You sound very spiteful.
why did miss world make a complaint?

I also agree with people not being named, the guy from Coronation Street comes to mind.

Oh yes, I had forgotten that

'Senior political figure' is the phrase I'm seeing.
It could well prove to be a laudable programme, perhaps?
He left because he was ill.. He had a triple heart bypass.. And should never of gone in in the first place.
Yes. My mistake.
