What does DLT stand for in that man's language ?

One of his catch phrases was Dave Lee Travis coming at ye through the cornflakes

Tan me hide when my career is dead, Fred

It's great that they have nailed him while he's still alive.

[T Fearon]

The face of one very relieved man.

It sounded like a stitch up. Surely there should be some sanction against fraudsters like this who use the threat of being known as a paedo to destroy careers. There was a case like this in Limerick recently as well.

It's a bit like the McCarthy witch-hunts of the 50's, desperate stuff. I'm not saying this stuff didn't happen but it basically throws a cloud over all that's happened

[AZOffaly]

Yeah. This is a double edge dose of shitty. These people are not guilty and after getting absolutely trashed in the media, and now it will make it even more difficult for cases to be successfully prosecuted in the future. Victims will be reluctant to come forward, juries will be thinking that this could be another publicity driven case. Shit all round basically.

[AQMP]

The decision on whether to prosecute a case or not is usually based on whether there is a "reasonable prospect of a conviction".  According to my contacts in the legal fraternity this means more than a 50/50 chance.  Maybe with the Roache and DLT cases as precedents prosecutors might re-assess, with alleged offences happening a long time in the past and with no forensic, physical or witness  evidence (bar the alleged victim), whether the chances of a conviction are reasonable or not.

On a related note I see Freddie Starr was arrested again a few days ago.
