The Power of the Paedos - another high profile case hits the 'never happened' wall?
Underwhelmed. Easy pickings. I hope this is not the extend or goal of the arrests that talked about. Not that Gadd shouldn't be arrested of course.

Former pop star Gary Glitter has been arrested on suspicion of sex offences by police investigating Jimmy Savile abuse claims.
He has been taken from his home into custody at a London police station.
Glitter, whose real name is Paul Gadd, was jailed in Vietnam in 2006 for child sex offences.
Police are investigating allegations that the late TV presenter Savile sexually abused some 300 young people over a 40-year period.
Met Police confirmed that officers from Operation Yewtree had "arrested a man in his 60s in connection with the investigation".
"The man, from London, was arrested at approximately 7:15 BST on suspicion of sexual offences. The individual falls under the strand of the investigation we have termed 'Savile and others'."
Scotland Yard has said it is following about 400 lines of inquiry as part of the operation - which is looking into claims Savile, who died last year aged 84, abused hundreds of young girls and some boys.
Police described former BBC DJ Savile as a "predatory sex offender".
Karin Ward - a former pupil at Duncroft approved school for girls in Surrey - told the BBC she had once seen singer Glitter having sex with a schoolgirl in Savile's dressing room at the BBC. Glitter has denied the allegations.
'Reputation on the line'Meanwhile the deputy leader of the Labour Party Harriet Harman has reiterated Labour's call for an overarching inquiry to look into the Savile allegations.
She told BBC One's Andrew Marr Show there should be a judge-led inquiry to look into what went on at the range of different organisations involved.
Meanwhile, the chairman of the BBC Trust, Lord Patten, has expressed his determination to deal with the sexual abuse scandal surrounding Savile.
Writing in the Mail On Sunday, he says the corporation's reputation is on the line and it must face up to the truth, warning the BBC "risks squandering public trust" and its "reputation is on the line" because one of its stars was apparently a sexual criminal.
Ms Ward was interviewed for the BBC's Newsnight programme in November, but the interview was only shown on Panorama this week as the Newsnight investigation was shelved.
Mr Patten told the paper: "Like many who work for the BBC, I feel a sense of particular remorse that abused women spoke to Newsnight, presumably at great personal pain, yet did not have their stories told as they expected."
Elsewhere, ex-BBC director general Mark Thompson has also denied ever being told about the Savile abuse claims.
The Sunday Times reports that his office was alerted on at least two occasions while he was still director general.
