Aint it good to see the guilty till proven innocent brigade out in force again on here.

Until such time as all facts are in public domain i find it pathetic that some make assumptions without knowing the facys.

Whether he was guilty of the alleged offences and alleged is the key word here no one will ever know

Lets assume the innocent till proven guilty law applies then what if the chap found pressure too much and could not continue.

He had 22 previous convictions for similar offences. That doesn't mean he's guilty this time but a prison term after a high profile trial might have been a step too far for him.

BBC story reports prolilic historical abuse. On that basis his innocence looks unlikely.

IF suicide, IF guilty, he's saved the public some expense... Or has he? Investigations may continue. Other victims may come to light.

IF guilty, it's a shame he's dead. A trial and conviction should make other historical perpetrators quake in their sick little boots.

The guy was a previously convicted sex offender.

Sorry but IMHO he lost his right to "innocent until proven guilty" way back when he decided to offend the first time.

For that, he and every other child abuser deserve to have their lives scrutinised at every turn.

However he died, it's a good thing, saves the tax payer money.

Scrutinised at every turn is very different to 'automatically found guilty'.

so just because he had previous, there is absolutely no chance he was reformed and was trying to keep his nose clean?

whos to say Saville didnt blackmail the fella to keep his mouth shut for all those years and used his previous as leverage against him, simply because of what is being displayed this morning.

his name is out there for all to see, so the chances of a fair trial were slim to none.

if it were suicide, i really dont blame him for taking his own life.

guilty or innocent, he would have been locked up anyway.

22 convictions and very likely more cases that have never come to light.

He was a serial offender. Doesn't sound like he learned the price of a slap on the wrist, nor that he was reformed.

Yes he may have been innocent of THIS allegation but the likelihood is guilty!

using that same logic you could as a 17yr new driver have an accident where someone is injured..

you could then have say 30/40 yrs of unblemished driving and no other convictions etc and then be in the wrong place when a kid or a d*unk steps off the pavement in front of you..

there will be those who have never offended again, that no doubt takes resources and for the offender to accept what they did was wrong..

no doubt some of them will never see what they do as wrong, and for those who are deemed a risk then life should be away from potential victims..

respect your professional viewpoint..

just googled 'kia marama' a rehabilitation programme in New Zealand which over a 4 year period post treatment reported a 10% re offending rate as opposed to a 21% offending rate for others who had no rehabilitation..

think the issue is to prevent re offending which costs money, wont ever stop folk thinking what they want even when its as disgusting as this issue..

but just what do you base that viewpoint on..?

Why does that matter to you if you think I'm wrong? I think your wrong but I don't give a flying fig why you think your right.

you posted it publicly in the thread..

as I said above unless one works in that field we are all using guesswork in what we say..

bit like saying water is wet, we would all go no shit Sherlock..

sweeping generalisations are just that..

usually bollocks and based on ignorance, prejudice or an agenda..

rarely common sense.. "

And just because someone works in that field doesn't mean they are right either.

I have no idea what drives a peodophile to act on their desires but once they do, they have tainted themselves for life, like a serial killer or a dog that has tasted blood, the fact is they know how it feels to carry out their act and will possibly do it again.

Any human ,male or female, who sexually abuse a child are a sick individual and don't deserve forgiveness ever, even after their prison sentence has been served ,they are still a person with evil running through their veins. They will always, until they die, be a peodophile and have no place in society .

Until such time as all facts are in public domain i find it pathetic that some make assumptions without knowing the facys.

Whether he was guilty of the alleged offences and alleged is the key word here no one will ever know

Lets assume the innocent till proven guilty law applies then what if the chap found pressure too much and could not continue.

it happens now on the NHS, for people in prison, it is part of treatment, similar to in the war when soldiers were given meds to dull their sexual desires, I am sure it also happens in care homes, very much like meds to keep people quiet and to dull confusion.

I've worked with victims not offenders. Like most issues there's a broad spectrum ranging from circumstantial perpetrators and true paedophiles. The latter will not/cannot reform.

respect your professional viewpoint..

think the issue is to prevent re offending which costs money, wont ever stop folk thinking what they want even when its as disgusting as this issue.."

Statistics never tell the full story - are repeat offenders becoming clever in not getting detected?

Are the success rates higher for the circumstantial perpetrators (which one would expect as they know they are in the wrong and have guilt)?

Media screams paedophile but it really is more complex than one word could portray.

This man was charged with sex offences against a young boy. As it stood before his death he was innocent until the justice system decided otherwise. He was entitled to representation and to put his case forward and 12 peers to decide as to whether his guilt was beyond reasonable doubt. If found guilty he would have had to have paid his debt to society. That's the way this country works, not perfect by any means but far better than totalitarian states.

This man chose to take his own life and his mental state must have been such that he was not able to make a valid judgement.

I'm talking specifically about peodophiles here. Yes I believe the perpetrators of other crimes can rehabilitate and can even become assets to society ,and those individuals deserve respect. A peodophile however has a different mind set and make up to normal people, that's a given, and for that reason they serve no purpose on this earth.

Sorry but IMHO he lost his right to "innocent until proven guilty" way back when he decided to offend the first time.

For that, he and every other child abuser deserve to have their lives scrutinised at every turn.

However he died, it's a good thing, saves the tax payer money."

In that case what's the pountof our penal system, you know that little thing called rehabilitation. Then we might as well get rid of courts for ANYONE who has been found guilty of an offense previously.

are we wrong, or the others?

what makes one right and the other wrong?

so many questions, so few answers.

Well we have laws of the land to protect the vulnerable.

In this land we see children as vulnerable and our duty to protect them..

What happens in other societies/tribes happens there. And there is nothing personally i can do there, we need to get our own house in order.

but again, who is right or wrong?

just because we have different sensibilities than other countries doesnt make us more right than them.

in fact, these laws 'protecting' children have only been a fairly recent development in the race that is human."

Well ever since I was born I had to be over 18 to view buy certain things.

Even on this website you have yo be 18.

Doesn't that tell you something.....

who knows, 200 years ago it was kind of socially acceptable for families to send their kids off to rich households for 'a better life' what ever that constituted.

No. Certainly not in the UK but, as someone else has already pointed out, other countries, some of which we regard as enlightened and liberal have different age of consent laws from those which apply here.

But we're debating an issue that has happened HERE in the UK and in 2013. Talk of what's acceptable elsewhere or in another era isn't really relevant.

A man, who was previously convicted of 22 sexual offences against individuals who were below the age of consent in the UK has died and therefore won't stand trial for another allegation of sexual abuse.

If he committed suicide then it's possible he was guilty and didn't want to do prison time for his crime. If he was innocent of THAT offence then it's possible he was afraid of being wrongly convicted and death seemed preferable.

Either way, a man who committed 22 acts of paedophilia prior to the latest allegation is dead. I'm not going to lose any sleep over the death of a paedophile.

The man has a history of abuse against minors

He served time for those brought to trial

He MAY have become a reformed character

WE do not ACTUALLY know!

So an assumption of guilt CANNOT be made in this latest case

This trial has been hanging over this man for quite some time. As yet there is NO confirmation of suicide so as we sit at this moment it's 'cause of death unknown' . He may have had heart trouble or something

In Britain until someone goes thro the judicial system for EACH accusation one cannot SIMPLY assume their guilt PURELY on past history

He may well have committed this latest offense n equally he may well not have.

Now of course with his demise we shall NEVER know so it is IMPOSSIBLE to cast the slur with any reliability.

if there were many victims, the chance of being caught earlier would have been drastically increased.

EXACTLY! So quoting the ages of consent in other countries is a moot point.

It's assumed that everyone knows what the age of consent is in the UK so someone having sex with an individual below that age is committing an act of abuse. They can't then, in their own defence, say 'well the age of consent is 14 in Germany' - the offence was committed in a country where the age of consent is 16.
