Jimmy Saville

I am getting so fed up with the number of 'celebrities' that are being charged with sex offences dating back to the 60's 70's 80's.  Sitting here watching the news and yet another one has been charged with some form of sexual assault from years ago.

Just what is the point of all this???  Especially if they're dead??!!

Perhaps I'm in the minority.  Actually, I'm sure I'm in the minority - But is stuff that happened 40 years ago really that relevant?  Shit happens.  Move on!

When I was 13 years old I was kissed by Jimmy Saville.  I was doing a sponsored walk and he was opening it and he just happened to be standing next to me.  I have a photo of me & Jimmy together.  Think it's in the loft somewhere.  I really must look it out, as I was the spottiest teenager ever, and Jimmy, as always, had a cigar in his mouth.

Anyway the press were there taking photos for the local paper and Jimmy Saville just turned and kissed me.  Not a peck on the cheek.  This was a full blown 'tongue down the throat' job!  It was horrible.  I was only 13 years old and he stuck his tongue down my throat in full view of everyone (though I doubt if anyone actually realised what was going on?!).

At the time I remember thinking that it was horrible and he absolutely stank of cigar smoke.

Did I report him to anyone?  Of course I didn't.  Why would I?  I didn't particularly like what he'd done but he was mega famous, even in the 70's, and and the whole experience only lasted a couple of seconds - hardly enough to traumatise me for life!!!  And also he was a 'grown-up' and in the 70's there was no such thing as children's rights, etc. etc.

I know that if I'd gone home and said to my parents that Jimmy Saville had stuck his tongue down my throat my parents would have said something like, 'You'll never have to see him again'.  They certainly wouldn't have reported him to the police.  It would just be something that was swept under the carpet and never talked about again.  In the 1970's a lot of stuff wasn't 'talked about'.

So....................  for the last 40 years, even though I didn't like the way Jimmy Saville kissed me - I've been boasting about it??!!

.................It's been my claim to fame!  I was kissed my Jimmy Saville!!!!!!!

Probably if I went to the police now and reported it, and said I'd been traumatised for the last 40 years, and that the fact that Jimmy Saville stuck his tongue down my throat has affected how I've lived my life.....................  Maybe I'd get a huge compensation payout??!!

....................Or perhaps I should just continue living my life as a contented, well adjusted, ranting middle aged woman, happy person, who believes that stuff that happened in the past is just that .................... stuff that happened in the past.

What's happened in the past has created us into the people that we are today.  Nobody can change the past.

Everyone has the opportunity to create what they would like to be in the future!!!
