> The reality in this matter, a biting kicking true concern,is people from police officers to judges ministers of religion, every class, think it is ok to assault children.

Give credit where it's due. The young females knew what occurred, since they were active participants, and took part willing, since the events continued for a considerable time. Had they sincerely disapproved, they could have at any time resigned their employment and sought a respectable alternative. They did not do so; instead, they continued to provide sexual favours in return for agreed rewards - cheap celebrity and pecuniary gain. This is not new, and is often called "the world's oldest profession" - sc. prostitution. In short, they were practising child prostitutes, and encouraged in this by their parents and adult colleagues.

To now be complaining of past events at this remove in time is hypocritical, opportunistic, and cynical; but in today's world demonstrates true professionalism. They are merely leveraging their investment in services already provided to obtain further cheap - and now sleazy - celebrity, and almost certainly additional financial reward by way of "damages". With any luck they'll be offered contracts by the local porn studios to re-enact the whole grubby business in excruciating detail, thereby moving their careers to the next level. Given the insatiable appetite of Australians for sleaze and porn, they undoubtedly have bright futures as professional prostitutes and porn stars, and as "Australians making good in the US" may eventually be awarded Orders of Australia for their exemplary role models. Were Australian universities to offer degrees in paedophilia and prostitution, using "Hey, Dad!" as course material, they could open up new career paths as academic lecturers for Australian politicians, lawyers, and priests. Innovation is where it's at!

I leave you to your world, content in knowing you build mountains out of non existent sand hills.
The real world is waiting must go.

Two things:

Firstly, the roles played in 'Hey Dad!' were NOT the roles of child predator and knowing and willing victims. If, in fact, the allegations are true, then one role was played by a child predator while another was played by a victim. From memory - and I was quite young when the show was on air - none of the on-screen interactions even HINTED at predation. Consequently, the show was no lulling us into accepting such interactions, nor are we likely to engage in such acts (or accept them) because we watched 'Hey Dad!'.

Secondly, I think you might be best taking a cold shower and a long hard look at yourself before declaring an alleged victim of an alleged sexual abuse - even an ongoing one - a prostitute. To do so says a lot more about you than it says about the person in question.

Thank you O!
At last a clear headed response to a baffling idea.
I was beginning to fear a brief time watching Capt squiggle and play school, may have turned me in to a monster! cooky?

I remember quite fancying that girl on the show. Though I was about her age at the time. I also fancied the older girl Simone Buchannan.
