Withdrawn my previous comment as it was said without thought. This being such a sensitive subject i felt it best that said comment be removed.

If it's true, a popular entertainer has used his charm and wit to worm his way onto our screens and homes, all the while hiding his past of robbing young children of their childhoods.
If it's false, then a popular entertainer has worthlessly been robbed of his livelihood by headline grabbing tabloids.
I see nothing to remotely smile about.
Justa note to everyone - NEVER go and see either Mark Lamarr or to a taping of Never Mind the Buzzcocks, you'll all be writing off to the Daily Mail the next day!!

So he was not arrested then and questioned following a complaint by a alleged victim!
And I thought News Papers were suppose to report the news!
It was also the lead story on the main BBC/ITV news and hundreds of radio stations.
Pheraps it should have been coverd up and hidden under a stone ? The only democracy in this country ( and it saddens me to say it ) is the red tops.
Remember Craig Charles got arrested for rape? All over the tabloids and News programmes? He was arrested and questioned after a complaint by an alleged victim. Then he was released without charge after the 'victim' confessed she lied.
I'm not saying this is what's happened this time. You'll notice I gave 2 sides to the matter. All I'm saying is that it's not a subject for frivolity, which was the basis for my original comment.
And since when did tabloids report news? They tell us speculation, sensationalism and hearsay.
