Child Rape

[poliphilo]

We are a society in which the rape of children is common. And in which child rapists in positions of prominence and authority- in schools, churches, social services departments, the judicial system, the entertainment industry, politics up to the level of national government- have been winked at and protected.

We're finally beginning to wake up to the extent of our shame.

This morning they arrested Bill Roache on suspicion of raping a 15 year old.

Bill Roache!

I remember a joke on an 80s sitcom about Wyman - the punchline was "the Stones need to tour, how else is Bill Wyman going to pay his new wife's school fees." You couldn't even think of putting that in a script now.

It seemed odd at the time that his marriage was getting nodded through. Now it seems unbelievable.
