time 8,645 Posted July 22, 2016 Half The Tremeloes - including Chesney Hawkes' dad - investigated for historic kiddie fiddling. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3314514/Tremeloes-stars-accused-sex-attack-girl-47-years-ago-Guitarist-bass-player-appear-court-assault-height-fame.html Acquitted. However, a judge at Reading Crown Court ordered both men be found not guilty. It comes after prosecutor Owen Edwards said there was no evidence to offer. Can't help wondering if there was no evidence to offer, why were they charged in the first place? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, a judge at Reading Crown Court ordered both men be found not guilty. It comes after prosecutor Owen Edwards said there was no evidence to offer. Can't help wondering if there was no evidence to offer, why were they charged in the first place? There never is any "evidence" in these historical cases, is there? My guess is that the accuser got cold feet and withdrew her allegations. Why, one can only surmise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,662 Posted June 5, 2022 Saw the Netflix two-parter over the last couple of days. Part 1 explains who he was (so avoidable if you already know about his career), part two is about the people who finally went public with the allegations and the chances missed to nail him in his lifetime. You might describe it as a touching portrait of a national figure 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,070 Posted December 29, 2022 Jeff Church, former leader of Kansas City children's theatre The Coterie, was found dead December 24 in his home according to The Kansas City Star. No cause of death has been revealed. Church's death comes just days after he resigned from his 30-plus-year career with The Coterie, which presents theatre for family audiences with adult actors. Church's resignation followed a growing list of allegations of sexual assault, and claims that he was predatory towards young male actors (he was indicted the day before he was found dead).
