[Bombers_Forever]

Robert Hughes it is - no real surprise.

You mean "allegedly"

 

[Ice-Wolf]

Ben is sure trying hard to not get himself sued, probably knows he doesn't have the cash that ACA have to defend themselves.

 

[MacMum]

Am not surprised by this.....Hope he gets whats due..

Robert Hughes it is - no real surprise.

Always though he looked a little creepy.

 

[KevinCat07]

You probably should read up on the history on the show if you want make such outlandish claims.

Not so outlandish now is it champ.

Agree. He is also essentially saying Reillly is lying too.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out - the big issue is what can be proved in court.

 

[nicky]

Has ACA been on yet? If so, what happened?

I reckon about halfway thorugh the first bit an ACA producer flashed a sign to to him saying they would pay any legal bills relating to the interview cause then he stopped being evasive.

 

[Vaders_1st]

Robert Hughes lives in Singapore - nuff said.

 

[sherb]

ACA are getting some serious mileage out of this scandal.

In the short term maybe.

Any person wanting other than junk tabloid type current affairs won't continue to watch though.

You wonder how hard they'd be going at this if Hey Dad! had been a Channel 9 show.

Woo-hoo, look at me, I told you so................

Indeed, naming an alleged culprit has finally completely opened the can of worms.

Thankfully, the cloud of suspicion over everyone else has at least been removed.

 

[western wolf]

Has anyone else come forward & said they were molested yet?

Knifing 7 would have been an added benefit.

Yep they had another victim give an interview and mentioned that there were others who had come forward.

Plus they had Ben Oxenbould give a pretty damning interview.

Ice wolf can you please give a run down on what went on in the interview (for those who didn't watch it)?

 

[Copulator]

Damn, i had my money on nudge

I'm sure ACA will have it up on there website shortly, plus it will be all over the papers tomorrow.

They basically accused Hughes of being extremely inappropriate with any young girl that came on the show, even as a guest. That the cast and crew was aware of this and tried to keep the girls away from him and that at least one of them went to the producer about it but nothing was really done.

They should sue the producer of the show then. Seriously! terrible.

The producer aparently denied that anyone had come to him about it when they (ACA) had asked him in an earlier interview, Oxenbould was extrememly pissed off about that and cited it as one of the reasons he agreed to be interviewed.

 

[Arden]

Hmmm, Oxenbould stated that he caught Hughes groping a young female "guest star". I'm pretty sure he stated she was younger than 10.

A 9 year old Delta Goodrem appeared in an episode in 1993.

How many under 10 year olds "guest star"?
