Just as a little taste, here are some things said on MN when his house was raided:
As far as people complaining about all of this speculation. I'm afraid a lot of people are just glad it's come out at last. My DH works in the entertainment business and he's been told by many people that CR, Rolf Harris, Max Clifford and JS were sexual predators. It's not just one or two people gossiping, it's people changing work arrangements and plans to ensure young boys/girls/men and women weren't left on their own with these people.
When operation yewtree started there was always rumours of Rolf Harris and Cliff. If anyone is that interested, you can find all sorts of stories online about Cliff picking out young boys from Elm Guesthouse. I'm afraid to say it, but I think there will be a mound of dirt to come out. He knew his house would be raided which is why a statement was so quickly released whilst he was abroad. The media would not have been there, if the police weren't certain they would find something. It's been a long time coming...

Cliff and Cliff alone as been subject to the most consistent and persistent internet rumours since this all began IMO. So in this case I'm not surprised in the least, sadly. This may end up to be the biggest case yet.^
It does make me sad to think of who else is still out there, adored by many, but has behaved like a monster in secret...there must be more of them lurking in the shadows!!
I'm not surprised, in fact, when all these allegations started coming out, I said to OH, I bet Cliff is next. They wouldn't search for no reason, they have obviously discovered something suspicious enough, especially for him to be named in the press. I just hope all the victims are finally believed and supported whilst all guilty parties are sent to prison at long last!!
^Not surprised by this going by the rumours. I hope they are just rumours though.
I did hear from locals near where he lived that he had a live in young boyfriend 25 or so years ago (17/18 year old). That would have been back before the age of consent was lowered.^
So many rumours, I'd be surprised if they were wholly unfounded.
he's probably at his home in Bermuda, which totally coincidentally I'm sure, has no extradition agreement with the U.K.
I forsee a 'health issue' preventing him from flying home.
I think it will be suppressed until he is dead and then it'll all come out. There have been rumours for years, a CID friend said he's amazed that it's taken this long to come out.
All these 'rumours' and FOF and speculation about avoiding extradition and it being 'the worst case yet'. Unless people start to get a lot more responsible about being more even handed when allegations are made I think there is a real danger identification will be lost.
