It's bloody ridiculous, the cps are run by complete and utter idiots.
Travis, from Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, was convicted of groping a woman working on the Mrs Merton Show on January 17, 1995. Prosecutors claimed he approached her as she stood smoking in the corridor and put his hands on her chest for at least 10-15 seconds until she ran away. I feel so sorry for the bloke. |

keep going until you can make one stick seems to be the CPS approach regarding these.

may as well haul in every man over 60.

It's obscene kenny.
|
|
By:
Indeed, Slippy. Lost his house, 2 court cases all for grabbing a woman's boobs, if in fact he did. Hardly proportional punishment.
|
|
By:
Should have chopped off the offending appendage as well.

Never liked DLT but seems a bit ridiculous if he goes to jail for a quick squeeze of a breast about 35 years ago !
|

By:
Why on earth should it be normal, ok, or nothing to worry about? Any guy grabbing,touching or groping any part of a women's body is guilty of indecent assault. Pure and simple. What the fck gives him the right to think he can touch up a woman whenever the fancy takes him, and he shouldn't be punished !
He - and any other arrogant person like him, thinks a woman's body is his to possess. Deserves all the punishment and anguish he's received. The women he's abused in the past have suffered more. |

It took her 35 years to come forward. You need to ask why. Well I think we know. I wouldn't think she was that traumatised.

Facts 23 Sep 14 20:59
Deserves all the punishment and anguish he's received. Really? He deserves to lose his house? You really think thats proportionate? What are you, a lesbian? |
|
By:
1995 was 19 years ago, not 35.
Grudgingly agree with Facts, for the most part. Obviously he doesn't deserve to receive a whole-life tariff. |

Just noticed it was January 17th. I grope tits every January 17th.

you are ok if you are a muslim

If DLT does go down for this, he may meet some new friends and they can feel each others moobs.
|
|
By:
I'm sure there was a female radio 1 dj who said she often had her tiits felt while she was on air, didn't name him but it was allegedly DLT. When she complained she was asked if she was a lesbian.

If I got charged for feeling women's thruppeny bits in the 80's they would have to throw away the key. This case completely disgusts me.
|
|
By:
If you were feeling women's thrupenny bits without their consent on a regular basis, it's hard for me to disagree with the sentence you'd impose, Slippy. Would you still be disgusted if it was your daughter he'd assaulted?
|
|
By:
Where did I say it was without consent?
|
|
By:
Why would they throw away the key then?
|
|
By:
Ah, I see. You were just bragging. Congrats.

By:
My point is Mikael is that this hideous McCarthyism witch hunt on Dave Lee Travis is completely wrong.
|
|
By:
Don't be stupid Mikael, you are better than that.
|
|
By:
I wouldn't disagree with your earlier statement that the CPS is run by complete and utter idiots and that they might be better off pursuing other, more serious criminals. That said, f uck DLT.
|
|
By:
Yeah feck DLT, he put me off eating cornflakes
|
|
By:
In what way am I being stupid? To quote Facts, 'What the fck gives him the right to think he can touch up a woman whenever the fancy takes him, and he shouldn't be punished?'
Your subsequent comment about feeling up women (which implied lack of consent, if not actually saying so) suggested you thought it was acceptable behaviour on his part. |
|
By:
I don't believe any of this for a second. As if anyone would be mad enough to go up to a stranger and fondle her breasts for 20 seconds without immediate complaint. It's all a load of disgusting boloks.
