has it not occurred to anyone that these people would have been the same regardless of employer?

Same people, but with an unmatched supply of starstruck potential victims.legrandefromage":3u1ovxr0 said:

Fair point LGF, but I feel it is a little of both.
No one is suggesting the BBC made anyone into a sex pest, but I would strongly argue they provided an environment where such behaviour could thrive; that certainly seems to be the case.
Much like a certain branch of religion.

It's unfair to blame the BBC; these people are adept at insinuating themselves into places where they can practice their abuse...
...Religion, TV, Radio, boys clubs, schools, etc.
My ex-wife was an archery instructor and worked a lot with the Scouts and Boys Brigade; one day at Camp the Police came and arrested one of the Leaders who had been her friend for years and she, along with everyone else, had never suspected a thing!
What puzzles me is the 'Shock, horror!' response to the stories of teenage groupies getting what they were after BiTD as though no-one knew what was going on at the time?
Look how many underage girls found fame during the 'Wild Child' phenomenon; and how many 'Stars' weren't prosecuted in that respect.
Look how many publications run stories on this subject right next to those about Justin Bieber and his toddler-bopper 'fans' and Katie 'Super-Slapper' Price; how do you make the distinction, and where do you draw the line?
During the investigations into Jimmy Savile the Police said that 72% of the claims had 'some' truth in them; that's over a quarter that didn't!
Savile is supposed to have 'abused' over 400 girls in his lifetime and yet only last week one of the Nationals ran a centre-page feature titled 'Guess which of these men has slept with a thousand women, and which just one?'
A couple of weeks ago the feature was reversed and it was the women in focus. The one with the cropped, bleached hair!
Too much hypocrisy for my liking... :|
Incidentally, the girls used to queue up at the stage doors and the Minders would choose the prettiest ones to let in; funny how age, respectability, marriage, etc clouds the memory!
Does anyone remember John Peels 'Byline' photo from NME in the 70's? I do; we all thought 'Lucky b*st*rd!'
