Well there another part of my childhood dead.

"Can you tell what it is yet?"
"Yes, Rolf, it's your cock. It's always your cock."

He used to switch on the Xmas lights regularly in Maidenhead, I used to see him round town from time to time too.
What a disappointment, always saw him as a decent bloke & artist.

Nookie Bear's next; his name's a byword for depravity.
More seriously: these arrests look* like nothing more than sops to the public.
*'Course, there may well be genuine criminality.

Not shocked that he has been charged.
I was thinking the charges would be from years ago, but some of the charges are from last year. That shocked me.
Internet stuff, I imagine. They probably had a warrant to search his computer.
I'm quite upset about it, I always thought he was smashing.
In this context, I wish 15 year old girls wouldn't be described as 'children' by the media though.
True enough, but it doesn't justify it. He should have known better, he was around 50 at the time even if he though she was 18, say (giving him the benefit of the doubt), it's pretty sordid for a man of his age.
Has Paul Daniels been found out yet?
There are some bars, some grey walls, a toilet and a big tattooed man. Can you guess what it is yet Rolf?
*fingers crossed Noel Edmonds next*
Why not since they are?
Led a sheltered life, I see.
Strange assumption. And no.
I rarely agree with you but I do here (got to love backhanded compliments). In most cases there is little difference between a girl aged 15 and the same girl aged 18. Females mature significantly younger than males do.
When a 15 year old girl is the accused, she will be referred to as a teenager. When the victim, they will be called a child.
Bollocks. Utter and complete bollocks. 15 year old girls may on average be more mature than boys but adults they aren't.
Why highlight the 15 year old complainant? There was a 14 year old too....is she fair game as well? If they're not children what are they?
Oh yes!, as John Major would say.
Bet he took a few of those.
I'm not even sure much older women could be described as adults, tbf.
I'm 50 in february and I'm not sure that I have fully grown up.
Not saying what I mean isn't one of my strengths.
Fair game apparently.
Teens are trying life out and that doesn't make them adults. Taking advantage of a child trying life out just isn't justified.
I'm glad you have noticed.
Despite the moobs.
Pics or etc...
Even I don't want to look at my moobs
I guess if the law calls them children then the press just follows suit.
What would you call them?
Don't tell me we're going the route of those damn sexy kids being the real problem.
I won't tell you that.
Sometimes politically correct outrage on the Caf assumes bizarre dimensions. I make what I thought was an uncontroversial post, saying that a 15 year old girl shouldn't be reported in the media as a 'child', and a firestorm of protest ensues. Apparently half the Caf, including Wibble, rcoobc, Eboue and Marching, think a 15 year old is a child.
Agreed. But there's a chronological space between childhood and adulthood. Western society calls this space adolescence. A 15 year old is an adolescent, or a teenager. Neither adult nor child.
I simply suggested that the use of the word 'child' conjures up a misleading image in the minds of some (but apparently not all) viewers and readers.
I don't think anyone has ever used "political correctness" correctly whilst complaining about it.
It's just one of those things that never happens.

I'd agree with WA. Once a child enters puberty they are no longer a child. Adolescent is the most appropriate term. The media are not stupid and have their own agenda. Moreso than most they know the power of their words and choose them with intent.
I think I used it accurately in this instance, but let's not quarrel. I still have fond memories of your Moyes/Woodward masterpiece.
