  • Doesn’t matter how famous he is. If he has done the crime he should do the time. Of course It’s up to the courts to decide that.

  • Trying hard to place this guy but I can’t. And I watched McLeods Daughters religiously and have binged it more than once.

    If that’s a recent photo this guy needs to come out of the 90s with those blonde tips and sleeper earring.

    Sexual misconduct was never cool but I’m glad it’s no longer a time women feel they can not hold the man accountable for his actions.

  • I’m not familiar wish him but honestly I don’t think our justice system is very fair. They should lock people like this up for longer!!!
    There really is some sick people out there and it makes me fear so much for my kids.

  • I never heard of this man. Not pretty behaviour. Curious what the outcome is of this case.

  • So scary to think so many people would have idolised someone like him just because he was on tv, easy access to victims
