Your post was already outdated. Abuse charges have to be reported to the police, and the police is investigating, as is his employer at the time the BBC.

Your spinning this as “just a story” is disingenuous. This “story” was investigated by top journalists for over a year, and published in a prestige news journal. Both the journalists working on the story and the paper that published it have their journalistic integrity at stake here. They wouldn’t publish this story unless they had some very credible sources to back them up.

So to correct you, this isn’t just an allegation. These are a series of very credible allegation which are under investigation by several authorities.

Of course it is up to you if you believe those allegations, I just hope you realize how credible these allegations are before you do so, and if you chose to not believe the victims, I hope you understand that you might have some unfortunate biases which makes you favor the accused.

The Sunday Times, the same prestigious news paper which consistently rejected HIV’s role in AIDS and partook in Phone Hacking - including (as alleged by him) the former Prime Minister Gordon Brown. [0] Not to mention The Times generally being a Tory sycophantic outlet, just behind the Telegraph.

Gosh, imagine if this story tarnished their pristine reputation and that of the paper’s owner, Rupert Murdoch.
