- Sir Cliff Richard is leading calls for those accused of sex offences to be granted anonymity until they're charged. The singer, who was never arrested or found guilty and strongly denied the claims, was publicly named in a child sex allegation after a televised police raid on his home in 2014.
The music star talked to Sky's Mark Austin, along with Daniel Janner QC , founder of the campaign group 'Falsely Accused Individuals for Reform' and the broadcaster and critic Paul Gambaccini, who was also falsely accused.

Not only for those accused of sexual crimes, but for those accused of any type of crime, confidentiality in the process must be guaranteed until the verdict is reached, because the media destroys a person accused of anything long before he is judged.

Yes absolutely.
He wasn't found innocent, the reports went back 40+ years and there was "lack of evidence".
My Dad used to be a Teddy Boy and ran in the same circles and milk bars. The police were always after Cliff for interfering with young boys. This was before he became a huge star but was on his way so had some clout.
These cases go back as far as the late 1950's so of course there was a lack of evidence.
It doesn't make him innocent.
Remember the person that accused Edward Heath Leon Britain and the army person,that turned out to be false, it later turned out he was a abuser himself and was imprisoned for his crimes,the most sickening thing was that he was encouraged to make those false allegations by a certain Tom Watson deputy leader of Labour Party who at the time believed him.
How come no one at the BBC faced any consequences for helping to cover up Savile's crimes.
Exactly don’t dare tell me cliff didn’t know
How come the police, media and royal family as well as the managers of numerous care homes were never held to account for not acting on reports of his behaviour? Focusing on the BBC ignores the bigger problem. As Andrew Neil stated we all as part of society let him get away with it becaue society created him.
@@mac7040 True I only mentioned the BBC because the story was about the media. Savile had full protection from the British Establishment.
@@bunnyrabbituk3069 Thats becauce they met them from Top and the pops
False accusations are far more common that people realize. Women will accuse fellow male co workers, or ex boyfriends of things because they were dumped by that boyfriend, or for work place vindictiveness.
Those who falsely accuse should face prosecution. Those accused should not be named until proven guilty.
We have to do it since these accuses are oftenly invented to destroy someone's career
I Don't believe it's often but it absolutely happens I detest those people it steps on real victims too
@@nikkimarland87 Sadly, it happens more frequently than people realise. Sometimes it’s for money or sometimes just pure hatred. This proposal will probably help with that so only the real cases go through.
@@keeli5575 well if it helps to get the real cases sorted I suppose it's a good solution all round it's just difficult for victims at the best of times but it's totally out of order when people create stories I think they should be sent to prison when caught lying under oath
Statistically speaking it's VERY rare for these kinds of accusations to be falsified. That being said, anonymity is still necessary for a fair trial. The second a matter becomes public opinion, the jury will inevitably be swayed by it.
Gulity as sin
So he wasn’t known as kitty, and he wasn’t a regular visitor of elm st. Wow wond how that old man feels who accused him in an interview that’s on yt
@@integralevideo elmo street
A Nightmare on Elmo Street 😂
The accuser stays unknown. The accused is known. So wrong. The accuser should be identified when the accused is found to be innocent.
Unfortunately nobody would come forward at all then because of that fear victims of any crime get the shity end of the stick as it is but people absolutely shouldn't be named unless they have been convicted because its so wrong how the media and ignorant people judge and shun them before any sort of justice happens
Horrible idea. It would literally stop people from reporting legitimate crimes
The innocent should not be exposed before,During or after the case unless agreed to be exposed . False Accuser should be exposed and brought to justice . Common sense
I was falsely accused of a crime... And it hurts! Not everyone has money for a lawyer.
9 people laid accusations on him. I find it very hard to believe that every single one of them was a false accuser. 1 or 2 people sure, but not 9 different people. The fact the CROWN prosecution service made the decision not to act on the claims (remember, the police didnt clear him of anything, and must have thought there was some merit to the charges or they wouldnt have even investigated) probably has more to do with old Cliffs friends pulling some strings than him actually being innocent. No doubt the truth will out after he kicks the bucket like his pal Jimmy.
Yep I agree
Your not a fan then😂
bullshit what 9 people ?
@@sdkjsdfo
No...he's just a C**T
Cliff is correct here. Regardless of guilt then those accused of any crime must be given the benefit of anonymity to enable true justice as that's the only way to actually execute a fair and proper legal trial. Sex accusations really linger and destroy people even when someone is exonerated. It cannot be fair that people can bring accusations knowing that even if their case fails that the person they accused has their life and career destroyed.
@EL JAY More importantly for me is that by revealing the name of the accused person before they are charged makes a fair clean trialmore difficult and encourages many false allegations to come forward.
It's ironic that Sir Cliff is one of the few good and principled men who managed to spend decades in showbiz and that's why he was an easy innocent target, I stand with him and think the witch hunt was so unfair
This comment will age like milk.
@@ThisLeprechaunWrites yours imbecile
I wonder what Jill Dando thinks
Principled man bull he makes out as if he is a good Christian and cashes in on Christmas hyprocrite comes to mind
False Accusers should be tried and Punished to stop others trying to Make Money from innocent people..🙏
Absolutely agree... time to readdress the power balance in this movement... too many innocent people are being accused.
Here Kitty,Kitty !
Jill Dandos last phone call!
Innocent till proven guilty, i agree 👌
Oh yeah just like Saville....
He would say that, wouldn't he. Having said that, the way the BBC and the police handled it was atrocious. I bet nobody was fired.
I was falsely accused of rape in 2016 and it nearly destroyed me. Thankfully it was dropped before trial but it happens a lot more frequently than people realise.
12 people came forward so 12 people would not lie
12 people witnessing is a lot.
Disgusted at some of these comments. I saw first hand when I had the absolute privilege of meeting Sir Cliff in 2016, what these false accusations did to him. Shame on anyone who makes up and spreads these hideous accusations
But the evidence for a warrant………?
The BBC were disgusting when he was being investigated. Yeah, they offered a piss poor apology, but, they brag that they speak the truth...
The warrant is to look for evidence.... Of which they could not find.....
All I know is Mr Cliff is a) as innocent as its humanely possible to be and b) has made some of the greatest pop music ever.
These are the facts of the matter.
They said that about saville
Kitty
Here kitty kitty
Sir Cliff is totally innocent and the BBC is an UTTER DISGRACE, I'm glad they were made to apologise to him, that horrible organisation would never have apologised unless they absolutely had to and it just goes to show how innocent he is
@Paul Conway Absolutely not. Cliff Richard and Jimmy Saville cases are completely different, the latter is a proven criminal whilst Sir Cliff was falsely accused and subsequently acquitted and received an apology for his unfair ordeal, worlds apart
Prove it
@Paul Conway the difference between cliff and Saville is clliff never did it
Only innocent people sign in to elm guest house under the pseudonym Kitty.
O yes Kitty is inocent elm House super injunction o yes kitty
No smoke without fire
I agree with sir Cliff. This trial by media & now social media has got to stop.
What they're saying is people can't warn anyone about perps.
I love what cliff says about if we could trust the media completely cos if we’ve learned anything from the Johnny Depp case it’s that not all mainstream media speaks the truth some spin their own narrative
Am sorry but what about the accusers because it will have been more than one person do u really believe the police would act over one person come on people wake up.
Thats just something that sex offenders say
And also something that innocent people who've been falsely accused and had their reputations unjustly smeared would say...
@@1st_b yeah i know it could go both ways unless theres dna proof of innocence i guess
@@Richard-jm1nu No one in a court based on British law has to prove they are innocent. The burden of proof is always on the prosecution.
@@Grimenoughtomaketherobotcry well i started off just messing about and people take my joke and turn it into a serious chat yeah mate no problems here👍
This will mean an end to those pedo hunter groups on social media
For genuine falsely accused this is great however what about those who aren’t falsely accused and with this could keep doing and put ppl at risk
Why is this, all of a sudden, being discussed in the U.K.?
Does it have anything to do with a certain county sheriff in the U.S. conducting an investigation in to certain heinous crimes? An investigation, by the way, in which NO INDIVIDUALS have been named, yet the county prosecutor (of the same county as the sheriff) held a press conference calling for the ouster of the county sheriff, because as the county prosecutor (erroneously) claims the county sheriff named the county prosecutor (by name) as being among those being investigated?
FACT: That county prosecutor has not been named in that investigation.
Yet that county prosecutor holds a press conference calling for the ouster of the county sheriff?
Hmmm? Coincidental?
Oh, and a not so minor detail: that county sheriff's investigation appears to have developing leads reaching the U.K., several countries in Europe and Ukraine.
Nothing to see here folks.
Remember, Sky News IS part of the "mainstream media establishment".
'Nough said.
It is not all of a sudden being discussed. This issue has being raised on a number of occasions since operation Yew Tree. Finally people with money and fame Don tlike what happens to grunts on an everyday basis and want the laws changed. Sorry if that some explanation is not dramatic or far fetched enough.
In a word; Yes. Well said.
Extremely suspicious.
Sorry but it’s something about the freaky wig wearing cliff that is just not right? I think the police need to look into his case again folks !
Is cliff not guilty??? Or was it kitty...has he ever been called kitty
He thinks we are stupid ELM HOUSE now really Kitty
I wonder why?
When is this documentary being aired??
Lucky he was besties with Tony Blair, Talk about get out of jail free card!!
What about the boys who I believed were murdered elm House cliff with the kray brothers he visited in prison and lord Bothby mi6 involvement and ted heath the coverup with the met police who probably had no choice
This is ridiculous. To save these rare men who were accused from some annoyance, actual perpetrators should be left free to roam, unnamed, for years until the trial happens? Come on. Makes me think these men weren’t all that innocent if they can’t see why it’s important to stop perpetrators from continuing illegal acts for those years in wait.
Cliff ain't innocent.
God knew he DIDN'T DO IT??? CMON what the hell...no point him going to court..he will swear down on the bible
Thought that was a skeleton in the middle god he looks bad
They get the wrong people.
Sir kitty
I am looking from Guwahati city in India sir
How far is it from Laknau where Sir Cliff was born if I may ask?
right on !!!!!
Nigel Evans tried to cut legal aid for people to defend themselves. Never a problem till it happen to them, is it?
Cliff is starting to look like Freddie did, that shirt was for 3 sizes ago.
What about the victims
So what evidence did the police produce for a judge to give warrant for search of cliffs house? Is this ANOTHER untouchable “Sir”?
I think he was stitched up but I could be wrong 😑
Very creepy.... They are most definitely guilty
Grow up
We do need to be careful there's not a Jimmy Savile type person working with celebrity status amongst us again just saying 🤷
And what does that have to do with allowing trial by media?
this man was innocent from the start anyone who says otherwise clearly still pays a tv license
I'm sure Johnny Depp and Prince Andrew would agree.

Friendship with the world
Enmity with God!

They were all at it the dirty old rascals
Oh ffs
Only the guilty would want such a law.
No false accusations ruin lives too. The media is more than ready to jump on these things and make a big deal about it but they won't admit they were wrong to do it and the impact they can have by making such things public.
Making public the names of ‘friends’ of Epstein is a completely different matter though.
Not when their guilty and cones out it wont
Saville was innocent too because it never went to trial.
Found or fund...gambicinis...dodge I'm afraid
Love to see him on faking it special all three of them . See if they could spot him lying
