Gawd....you are taking it right over the top aren't you?  The Lady had a very troubled teen and later years, and some of it was her own making.  She made headlines for having consensual sex at 13 with a 24 year old bloke in the YTT crew ~ he was convicted eventually on a plea of guilty of unlawful carnal knowledge (not rape, as we know that to usually mean, as the act was with her consent) yet ~ the reference now to it misleadingly is that someone had been convicted of raping her.

The Lady is an enigma, an outstanding talent lost somehow after years of alcohol and heroine abuse, and suddenly, out of nowhere, she reappears ~ and of all places ~ on Facebook, instead of taking it to Police, she makes these allegations concerning  events which allegedly occurred about 40 years ago.

Those are facts Emma, no interpretation, and I have no need to walk her shoes.  I am not condemning the woman.  I am reminding myself of the facts.

This is taken from the link up there ^^^^.

Now, Emma....what follows is an interpretation, not necessarily mine but it is quite open as totally plausible.

"No Debra.....I had no idea you were disturbed in any way.  I was not abusing you at all.  I was doing exactly what you specifically invited me to do.  Yes, you were youngish of age, but you were very advanced physically and in knowledge and willingness."

Those were the early 70s when unlawful carnal knowledge was a $100.00 fine any day of the week before Shanahan DCJ, Rockhampton, and in every part of the State of Queensland.

Is he ?..  it seemed more pejorative than 'mere' commentary.


Peccadilloes..?  That is a male perspective.. no offense.

Trust you .. yes I do .. I imagine you have knowledge..

but  AUSSIE  doesn't need your brotherly support.
He needs to think about where his comments come from.. and WHY they should be posted.

Aussie... I think the references to Ms Byrne ... IRRELEVANT. Gnads is a gnat....  I think nothing of his opinions.. but yours..  I'd like to respect.  YOU KNOW the FACTS,..?? 
Impossible.. but you think you know the BUZZ.


What is the connection??  to ROLF HARRIS in JAIL..? 

Nothing I can see... except..  perhaps the need to denigrate those who come forward... after too long... in your view.

What else??  why bring this up?? 
What is your reason?

Why don't you enlighten me Aussie..? Go ahead  I'm all ears

The reason is simple ~ if Debra gets traction on this at 57 years of age, some bastard, 40 years since an event likely involving pubescent consent, is going to have his life turned upside down as a consequence of allegations made by a Lady who really, by her own admission, was a very disturbed person, one who became addicted to alcohol and heroine, and one, despite enormous talent, became as mundane as the rest of us.  On top of all that, one must conject about her motive, particularly since, instead of going to the Police, she went to Face Book.  There are some analogies to the Rolf Harris sorry saga.

Yeas you can.  There was an epidemic of it in the 60/70s.  It was illegal, just like booze was during prohibition, and the offence committed was one of having unlawful carnal knowledge ~ NOT rape.  The penalty was a $100.00 fine  with as much time as you needed to pay.  That's simply how it was Emma, whether you like it or not.

Ask Normie Rowe, one to whom Debra looked up.

Emma....if you are 14 and want to screw that cool looking 20 year old pop idol, what is going to stop you?  He's not that's for sure.
