It's no secret that The Stones, Bill Wyman in particular, (and many many other groups) bedded many young adolesent girls in their heyday. They were chased and persued by young girls, no doubt many under the age of 16. Would they be called pedophiles now?
Perhaps in Paul Gadds case, his 'taste' for young girls started in those days, but never went away. It is sad for him and his friends and reletives the shame this uncontrolable urge has brought him.

"It is sad for him and his friends and reletives the shame this uncontrolable urge has brought him"

And perhaps the kids he abused?

Ever read about the type of images that were found on his computer?

Well you would say that wouldn't you. Completely missed the point I was trying to make and quoted what you've read in the papers - pratt.

Explain your 'point' then Turd?

But your post is total poppycock!

Townshend wasn't convicted of owning photo's of kids, not convicted of abusing kids, taking photo's of kids, seeking them half way round the world, he was cautioned over one incident whereby he accessed a Child Porn website. He didn't download anything. Have you ever read the thesis he did on the horrors of child abuse several years before the trouble started? No? thought so.

Thats fact.

Your statement is your opinion and your opinion only.

What makes you think you know the whole story? How do you know Pete didn't cop a plea? Pete's a national treasure in the UK, so they treated him with kid gloves. What do you suppose would happen if Sir Paul McCartney got hauled in for something like this? They would have said "Look, Sir Paul, we're big fans and all, and having you sitting here like this is one of the biggest thrills of our lives, but you can't do shit like that, okay? But we've got to do SOMETHING to punish you, so let's do this: Just let us put your name on the sex offenders registry, and we won't divulge any of the unseemly details, okay? You can tell your fans whatever you want, and we won't contradict you. Is that okay with you, Sir Paul?"


Pete was SUICIDAL in the days following his arrest. Why would an innocent man be suicidal? I think the outpouring of unconditional love and support may well have saved his life. Unconditional love is the kind of "We love you no matter what you do" love that parents feel for their children. And it's something that Pete has really latched onto, like a life preserver. To this day, "unconditional" is a word that frequently turns up in Pete's conversation. "I loved John Entwistle .... unconditionally!"

Of course, Pete now expects and demands that kind of unconditional love and support. He expects and demands your unconditional financial support, too. "If you REALLY loved me, you'd put your ass in one of those $500 front row seats!"

Okay, now I really AM done talking about this.

They treated a suspected pedophile with kid gloves? Hmmm ... insert your own joke here.

On a lighter note, I love the scene in Video Rewind when Mick and Bill find "Gary Glitter's chest wig"!!!
