His side of the story is that the cruel landlord and daughter went to immediately kick him out of the house after finding out about some "false charges" from a decade ago. He's trying to evoke sympathy by providing very limited information as to why the landlord made that call. I see nothing wrong with providing some actual relevant context for the other side, and asking him what he has to say about that.

Would you want this guy living in your house, in close proximity to your children, after finding out these charges and the circumstances of his arrest?

I can see why. The justice system failed to let him have a chance to defend himself, and left him to deal with random people who think one side of a story is the whole story.

> asking him what he has to say about that.

Frankly, it's none of your business. Call your congressman and complain about the justice system and ensuring people get a chance in court when it is obvious the state is going to lose.

These days, I live in a country that respects people's privacy. So, I probably wouldn't even know. But also, in this country, pedophilia is usually dealt with by lynching before the cops even show up.

How did you know who he is? I'm slightly curious. I remember Bocock from 20-odd years ago when we were on a couple of the same mailing lists.

EDIT: I assume this'll be the same person. The name is not exactly common. And one of the lists was 99% British people.

(Never met him and I know nothing about him other than his name. (It ends in "cock", so it stuck in my mind. I was 23 back then.) I have nothing to contribute one way or the other regarding the accusations.)
