[TensionWheelsCoolHeels]

On 12 counts of indecent assault.

[Groovee]

Dh just texted me. Am

[BeeBlanket]

Good. I was very convinced by the women's accounts in this case and really, really hoped he would not be able to "misremember" his way out of it.

[AgaPanthers]

It was hardly a surprise after the evidence presented. Guilty as fuck.

[Pagwatch]

Yes.
His grooming of his daughters friend was a particularly distressing element.

[minniebar]

Good.

[Fragglewump]

Those brave people who reported his vile actions should be applauded. It makes me feel sick that he did all that popular poorly cat tv shit whilst knowing he had destroyed people's lives. Just yuk!

[Cocolepew]

Good.

[StampyIsMyBoyfriend]

Glad his victims are getting justice, so brave of them coming forward.

[PedlarsSpanner]

Good

[Fragglewump]

I wonder if his wife and daughter will still stand by him and continue minimising and denying his crimes?!?

[AgaPanthers]

I'm sure people will be minimising it, at least he's not as bad as Jimmy Savile etc.

[misstiredbuthappy]

Makes me feel sick.

On the news it says hes got unconditional bail whats that ?

[Trooperslane]

Feeling sick too.

[VivaLeBeaver]

Good. Evidence seemed very convincing.

[GrouchyKiwi]

It makes me so sad and angry how long this has gone on with so many big names. I hope this means that the culture no longer exists (not holding my breath).

[TensionWheelsCoolHeels]

There are a few interviews on sky news from victims & people who knew he was prone to groping. One guy saying he warned girls not to go in for a cuddle when meeting him. Similar stories from the victims too.

[Ellisisland]

Miss tired- conditional bail means there are conditions attached such as cannot leave the country, don't contact victims etc. if you do you go to prison to await sentencing.

unconditional bail means there are no conditions attached as they probably don't believe he would do any of those things anyway

[misstiredbuthappy]

Thank you ellis

[cosikitty]

What will his sentence be?

[OleOleOle]

Good. Goes to show sex offenders come in all guises. No one was really surprised by JS, but RH seemed so gentle and harmless. I'm glad there was enough evidence to get him, unlike other recent high profile cases.

[CinnabarRed]

The BBC website quotes the judge as saying a custodial sentence is "uppermost in the court's mind".

I have to say, though, that I don't blame his wife and daughter for sticking by him through the trial. |I think it must be all but impossible to turn away from a person you love without a guilty verdict. The acid test will be what they do now that he's been convicted.

[Animation]

Good I thought so. And yes, the grooming of his daughter's friend was particularly telling - and the fact that he saw nothing wrong with his behaviour.
What a creepy man.

[PeachyPinky]

I feel for the DD's friend and other's who helped convict him, it must have been tough for them.

It makes you wonder about the hidden meaning behind some of his songs now.

[AgaPanthers]

He didn't write his own songs, generally.

[Onesleeptillwembley]

Having heard a couple of similar things about him from totally unconnected sources in the past, I'm very pleased that he was found guilty. Sad that he got away with it for so long though.
Hopefully it's brought some comfort to his victims, including the ones who haven't been involved in the case.
