I can't understand why they've released his name. Has he been charged with anything yet?

Home searched and computers seized apparently.

The article said it's part of an investigation into abuse at a school he used to teach at. It doesn't say that any allegations have been made against him. I wonder if any other former teachers' home have been raided too?

I could be wrong but they don't normally search the homes and take away computer equipment of passing bystanders, do they? Especially not ones connected with crimes from 40 years earlier when the only PCs around were walking the beat in pointy helmets.... To save time I'm starting to think they should just round up all 70's TV presenters as a precaution.. Hmm

Not at all happy with all these names in the press where no arrest has been made.

he wasnt a tv presenter in the 70's .. he was a teacher

I do feel really sorry for all those who were abused by anyone past or present but I think we have to rememer that amongst the genuine there will be nutters just looking to cause mayhem and upset for no reason .. oh x did this to me 40 years ago...

I think the media have to stop putting names out till they have proof of wrong doing .. mud sticks esp when it comes to child abuse
