Stuart Hall...Its a lockup.

[5 Sams]

In all seriousness what was going on with these guys that they thought that they could get away with this type of behaviour?

The world was very different in the early 70s.

These men, born in the 1920s, were a product of more repressive times and they were taking advantage of the sexual revolution, regarding all younger women as easy meat for exploitation. The younger you were the more attractive and more powerless. Male predators could embarrass and bully you into believing that fending off unwanted advances was something your grandma had to do to protect a modesty and virginity now out of date.

These all-hands blokes of light entertainment, fumbling and groping and patting and nudging, standing too close, kissing on the lips instead of the cheek, fondling your knee under the table, or getting your back against the wall and lunging, did not decide of their own accord to stop. A decade which is now remembered for being the height of the sexual sleaze scandal in the BBC was also the one in which feminists began to ask whether liberation was worth being pawed at and thrust into without consent.

All well and good Seafóid.....doesn't explain however why half of the perverts were interfering with wee boys.

I was think earlier - who would be the one celeb that, if he was accused of underage relations, would rock people's belief in good men?

Cliff Richard?

Former BBC Radio 1 presenter Dave Lee Travis has been charged with 12 sexual offences, Scotland Yard has said.

The 68-year-old faces 11 counts of indecent assault and one of sexual assault and will appear before Westminster magistrates on 23 August.

Mr Travis, of Mentmore, Bucks, said he was "disappointed and surprised" to be charged and denied the claims.

The allegations date from 1977 to 2007 and relate to nine female complainants aged between 15 and 29 at the time.

Mr Travis was questioned by police as part of Operation Yewtree, an investigation into historical claims linked to the entertainment industry.

The probe was launched in the wake of revelations against ex-TV presenter and Radio 1 DJ Jimmy Savile.

The operation has three strands. One is looking specifically at the actions of Savile and the second strand concerns allegations of sexual offences against "Savile and others".

Mr Travis's arrest is understood to fall within a third strand, relating to alleged complaints against other people unconnected to the Savile investigation.

Mr Travis is best known for his 25-year stint on BBC Radio 1 which ended in 1993.

He also presented editions of Top of the Pops on BBC TV in the 1970s and 1980s.

Bail answered
Mr Travis was first arrested in November 2012 and released on bail. He was rearrested in March and questioned about further allegations.

His solicitor Martin Bale said the former DJ had answered bail at a police station in London and was informed that he was being charged.

In a statement, the Crown Prosecution Service said it had authorised police to charge Mr Travis.

It said he had been charged under his real name of David Patrick Griffin.

Alison Saunders, chief crown prosecutor for CPS London, said: "We have carefully considered the evidence gathered by the Metropolitan Police Service as part of Operation Yewtree.

"Having completed our review, we have concluded that there is sufficient evidence and it is in the public interest for Mr Griffin to be charged."

She said prosecutors had decided that no further action should be taken in relation to seven separate allegations.
