The entire Yewtree operation has cost in excess of £3m and is now dredging the barrel in order to provide some form of payoff

The minute Travis was found not guilty the first time round the CPS should have wanged the file into a skip. Instead they brought one of the unproven charges back to court, together with this one from a new 'victim' who came forward after seeing 'his smug face' at the first trial.

Don't tell me this would have ever made it into the court at all, let alone twice, if the whole Yewtree bandwagon wasn't behind it.

Justice? I think not.

Bored to death with it all now, serious sexual assaults should be punished severely but these cases now are really pathetic and a waste of taxpayers money in my opinion. They seem like a witch hunt against former celebrities.

Maximum sentence for this level of crime is 26 weeks. Could be community service.

So thats how "serious" it was. And it was 20 years ago.

Hmmm.

Exactly. Ridiculous waste of tax payers money on a witch hunt...

It happens. Its not right, Id just grant the right for the girl to kick the guy in the balls with no repercussions. Court appearances for such minor bullshit 'offences' will be a complete drain on resources.

A booting could be the appropriote punishment, we need an aussie court for that though

Apparently groped a tit. Again, not saying its right but in my opinion shouldn't be going to court if its not a child. Especially given the time elapsed. Also very uncomfortable with all these women coming forward and saying that someone slapping their arse or groping their tit has ruined their lives.

Its all about the monies bro!!

Its a bloody joke. 20 years is far too late.

Apparently the victim is now a well known TV presenter.

The trouble with that, according to the CPS, is that other victims dont know someone else has made accusations, so might not have come forward themselves. Its a difficult one though, cos I am sure some "victims" in some of these trials actually wernt at all.

Yeah, er... I met Saville (insert name) at 'xxxxxx' in '19xx', easy to find out where he had appearances..

Can I have some monies please? He cant argue back now hes brown bread..

Plus the BBC and Police/CPS wallowing in the biggest exercise of pointless navel gazing and self fllaggeration since, well, the last time they were made to look stupid.

Surprised that's been reported by the press, because it narrows it down to basically one person.

Not on here mate. But I'd say the press have been a bit naughty. OK, they havn't named her, and, to be fair, lots of people who used to work at Granada were pretty sure who it was, but that's different to effectively putting her name in the public domain.
