If I got charged for feeling women's thruppeny bits in the 80's they would have to throw away the key. So you were just bragging then? Why would I want to become a lawyer, old stick? |

I am 57 yrs old..back in the day you were considered strange if you didnt give the opposite sex a bit of attention.ie a wee squeeze of the buttock or a "cuddle" every so often..the females were just as guilty and many a time a bloke would get his arse felt buy a bird..it was good natured harmless fun..no one died or had their lives ruined..things are different these days and i respect that.

Shouldn't make light of the situation really, but I would have paid good money to see the judge whip off his wig and false beard to reveal a chuckling Noel Edmonds with a Gotcha.

what a surprise here comes the guardian of our morality..good old Facts
thanks for pointing out my disgusting sins..now kindly f-off. |

Facts you remind me of a female I held a door open for in a busy london office
she gave me a verbal volley of expletives as she did not need a condescending male to hold a door open for her.... |

What, on your say so ? Was this the same boring bully tactics you employed ' back in the day '

It must have been the way you fondled her buttocks as she passed by you through the door

Dear oh dear. Is this your rock ape stance down the pub after half a shandy on a Saturday night ? |

fair point facts..I am indeed a complete maniac who spends his entire time groping females I have never seen in my life before...on my way to the police station to confess my vile transgressions..

How can they justify a judge and a jury to try him for touching a woman's breasts?
Surely a magistrates court could have dealt with something as petty as that? |

Good man. You know it makes sense

They should only deal with cases involving underage victims
as these are serious I don't believe we should be dealing with alleged sex abuse cases so long after the allegations I do not see any 'victims', just chancers I remain against Yew Tree, except for the paedophile allegations |

How many lecherous old pervs does the BF chit chat forum harness??!!!
Sorry but groping women for your own pleasure uninvited is simply wrong and if it was your wife or daughter I am sure you would be absolutely livid. The lecherous old perv deserves going to court for thinking his unwanted groping has any place in a modern society. |
|
By:
The Sun ran a front page headline calling him the 'pervy' cornflake before the case went to the 1st trial. Im surprised the lawyers didnt pick this up as being prejudicial for any jury to see. Thus getting the case kicked out of court.

By:
lecherous old pervs
that is me guilty  I have never been a groper myself. So I do not actually approve. But in court 18 years later?, there was no real harm done My view is the women would have moved away instinctively at first contact, so I do not entirely believe her, about the time it is only my own opinion |

Seem to be a lot of perves from the 60/70s/DJs. Why couldn't they all be like Paul Gambaccini, you never saw him touching up a girl.

let he who is without sin cast the first stone..some pious pillocks on here imo. I think there are only 3 of us who've spoken against Travis - myself, Facts and charwell - so I guess I count as one of the pious pillocks. I'll just ask again, what would you think had it been your daughter who was being groped? If your response would be 'nohalmdun' then fair enough, but I think you'd be more likely to want to cut his balls off. |

By:
I think I would punch him in the face myself
but 18 years later..it is not quite the same is it? still I am a lecherous old perv so we are on opposite sides here |

What I would not do is wait 18 years then report it and see the guy go through a trial because of it. |

By:
I take it all back. It's obviously the first and only time he'd done it and all he did was cop an extended feel. The woman concerned should have just written to Simon Bates and had her sorry story recounted on 'Our Tune' instead of putting the saintly Travis through hell.

Look at it this way MDH.
I was at school in the 70's-80's. I was a quiet lad yet in that time I still got my hair pulled by a teacher, a slap on the face by another, a finger digging in my chest from a woodwork teacher etc. That's how things were, yes they were wrong and for a lad that had lost his father at 6 years of age very hard to take. Our ex English/drama teacher is gay, so today I decide that when he smacked me he copped a feel and this has ruined my life(all of course is a lie)and I want revenge or compensation. There will be nothing saying that he did not do this. Yet I know that he liked young boys (over the age of consent). Should he be charged after I go to the police and tell them my story? |

I got thrashings too. Once got thrown through a set of doors by our French teacher. One of our PE teachers was affectionately known as Bummer Boulton and he definitely seemed to enjoy marching us all into the showers, although somewhat disappointingly he never tickled my todger.
The police should definitely investigate your story though. Then do you for wasting police time when they discover you'd made it all up. Honestly can't believe the number of people on here who think it's ok to grope whoever they want. |

You want to make your mind up you are disappointed that your teacher did not touch you whilst you were in the shower. |

If he had, I could make a claim.
