Another Celebrity has been arrested for child rape.

Posted on 05:00 by Unknown

And, all I can think is "wow, ITV are actually removing Michael Le Vell from Coronation Street pending the outcome of the trial". Seriously, how fucked up is that? My first response is that a major television program is taking an actual stance on a man charged with child rape. I thought they'd go for the old "we can't possibly say or do anything until a conviction has been secured" twaddle which let's rapists get away with rape. 

Le Vell has actually  been charged with 19 sexual offences including one count of child rape, indecently assaulting a child and sexual activity with a child. Obviously, I await with glee the rape apologists whining about poor ickle Michael being held accountable for his crime.

The BBC story is here.
