	Thanks Ann have not seen the news today. Shocking state of affairs, why the media gives names out and then we find out the police have not charged some of them because there is no evidence. Damage done to them and mud sticks so there will always be that stigma. Emma

	It is difficult to believe - no doubt the truth will come out during his trial, so I will wait to see the outcome of that before I make any judgement.
	Researching: I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

	That's how sex offenders get away with offences for so long , they appear to be the "nice guys" chatty, friendly all the attributes a sex offender portrays. Overall, I don't know why people have trouble believing certain, so called celebs could do terrible things, we don't know them, we only know what there agents want us to know. Although at this stage Rolph Harris, has been charged, there has been no trial as yet, so of course he could be an innocent man.

	I was going to post about this but you have beaten me to it. Like you I too am shocked. Especially as the downloading was as recent as last year. Oh well I will reserve my own judgement. Will wait til the trial to see the outcome. So sad if it is proved to be true
