All i know is what used to be, dunno if still the case? But people charged wi various offences i have seen named in the local press.

i didnt think people were named in the press until appearing in court.

for example papers would say john smith of make believe lane appeared in court on the 23rd of may 2013 accused of shoplifting

dont recall them saying john smith was charged today of shoplifting and will appear in court on the 23rd of may infact with all teh charges police make it would fill teh news paper so i guess only juicey ones get to go in the press

appologies to john smith if your name is john smith lol

Just thinking back to the claires law thread where it was discussed about releasing names of people that have only been accused. Perhaps if an accusation had got so far that they could have legally been named in the press, then they could be on the list.

I was referring to more serious stuff than shoplifting accyman, plus going back donkeys years, may well be different now, have no idea.

Just seen a tweet from a reliable source -

"Mark Williams-Thomas ‏@mwilliamsthomas 1h

Coronation Street star William Roache charged with two counts of rape involving a 15-year-old girl in the 1960s"

....so it wasn't a 'one-off'.

Two years after this alleged offence by Mr Roach, there was a tremendous media storm

surrounding Peter Adamson, again in Haslingden,

The former Coronation Street character Len Fairclough was acquitted,

Who knows what went on then?

Or as Cashy said,'what was swept under the carpet'?

accyman · 02-05-2013, 00:52

len fairclough actor was supposed to have fiddled with a little girls bits in a swimming pool if i recall correctly

i think he went on GMTV pleading his innocence

was a long time ago but im pretty sure tahts about right without googleing

i also cantthink of anything the len faircough actor was in after corronation street so maybe he was blackballed by the what would have been 3 channels then

He admitted guilt before he died

All that mat tered was winning; GEORGE CARMAN, QC, WAS BLINKERED TO THE PLEASURES OF LIFE, FOR HIM . . . - Free Online Library

"Carman was most irked at the later behaviour of Coronation Street actor Peter Adamson, aka Coronation Street's Len Fairclough, after the barrister successfully defended him against charges of indecently molesting young girls. In a boozy interview sometime afterwards, Liverpool-born Adamson, who died last week, admitted his guilt. "

There are reporters covering every court sitting accyman, that's when the names appear in the paper the only time names are withheld are when ordered by the court
