My first guess, Sir Elton-- was touring the United States in 2009 for most of the year but did perform in London in September. Girl better come correct with the dates

Elton John or Cliff Richard

statute of limitations?

Elton John was at Caesars Palace from the 3rd to the 15th of February, then he was off until the second week of March.

by Anonymousreply 4February 20, 2019 7:56 AM

Elton? No wonder the victim is still traumatised. I'm dry-heaving just thinking about it. Is that why they made the "anon shadow profile" look like Chris Martin? To indicate a baldy-man?

The emphasis on the word THAT makes me think it could be a member of Take That. The only famous ones really are Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow. Don't know, don't really care. Psychological trauma a decade later - someone's looking for a #metoo payday.

To add to R6 - especially where sexual assault is concerned. We've jailed paedophiles for historic abuses going back 20, 30 - even 40 years because the victims found the strength to report them.

My money's on Elton John, though I wouldn't put it past any number of younger pop stars.

by Anonymousreply 8February 20, 2019 8:33 AM

The article at OP has been updated with little changes throughout. The first paragraph now refers to a pop star rather than a musician, and a millionaire instead of a male star.

[quote]A British pop star has been reported to police after allegedly fondling a man in a hotel toilet nine years ago - with the alleged victim also planning to sue the millionaire, it emerged today.

The Sun's take...

[quote]A MAJOR British music star is under investigation by police over an allegation that he indecently assaulted a young man.

[quote]The singer, a household name who is idolised by fans, is accused of groping the man in the toilets at a top Central London hotel.

No one just fondles anyone in a public toilet. The star was led on. The young man then decided he would go for the money.

To add to R4, he was in LA for at least a few days around 23 February 2009, per articles about his usual Oscar party.

Then again, he told press he was "hands-on" with his waiters and wouldn't hire any "ugly" ones, so it's not like he wouldn't grope a guy.

This may be unfair, but as a man who was RAPED as a tiny little kid under the age of 5, I can absolutely guarantee you that now, as a grown man, if some dude grabbed me by the nuts, I"d probably try to cave his head in with a toilet seat cover or the like, one of those repressed rage thingies were you beat the man s head in with about 100 blows type a deals. IF the alledged victim was say under the age of 12, ok sure, can see him not fighting back against a grown man. Just my 2 cents.

May seem harsh for a rape victim not to support another man that was sexually abused, but this doesn't pass the smell test for me.

Blind Item #7

This foreign born former A list singer in a group and solo turned B+ lister iconic singer is being investigated by the police in his native country over a decade old sexual assault allegation. This now aging star is denying the allegation he groped a young male industry insider inside a hotel toilet. It's very bad timing for the outspoken star who has a new album and tour on the way.

The guess seem to go with Morrissey from The Smiths??

R61 Yes, it was the Boy George connection that made me exaggerate.

Not to go off topic but I was actually a fan of Marilyn in the 80's. He looked incredible back then. I remember when Boy George and Pete Burns were having public spats about which of them looked better, I was always thinking, "Have you seen Marilyn?!" I thought his songs were good and that one 80's LP he did was great, he had an amazing voice.

I wondered why Marilyn's career never took off like Culture Club of Dead or Alive, and when I began following him on Twitter decades later it soon became obvious. Bitch is a meeeeeeessy messy mess mess of a mess! The drama! Not sure he's still on Twitter.

Marilyn's twitter is hilarious/tragic. Until recently it'd be him posting pics of him from his 80s heyday with Madonna, Diana Ross etc. Then the next post would be him waiting in a car park for his social worker or something equally as bad.

I've followed him for years with a kind of glee at how tragic his life turned out compared to how good it once was but realised recently he was still on heroin until this Christmas. He spent Christmas in detox in a NHS hospital (which isn't done very much these days - you'd need some proper referrals from rehab centres for that to happen). He seems happier since though so I do feel bad for laughing at him.
