Found another music industry pedo:
The ex-singer and Genesis producer Jonathan King is accused of assaults on nine teenagers aged between 14 and 16, between 1970 and 1988.
The 73-year-old, of Bayswater, West London, is appearing at Southwark Crown Court under the name Kenneth King.
His trial, which is due to begin today, is expected to last up six weeks.
King was famed for songs including Everyone's Gone to the Moon and Hooked on a Feeling and discovered the band Genesis as a music producer.
He appeared many times on television on both sides of the Atlantic including on shows like Top of the Pops [presented by notorious pedophile Jimmy Savile] and Entertainment USA.

He was already sentenced in 2001 for seven years in prison for sexual abuse in the 1980s, for abusing five boys, but released on parole only four years later.
He denies the accuses in the current trial.
According to Wikipedia, he sold more than 40 million records in his career. He discovered the band Genesis, and produced their first album. Later he produced songs for the Bay City Rollers.
He performed under different names, and produced ten 'Top 30' singles in the UK. In the early 1990s, he produced the Brit Awards, and from 1995 he selected and produced the British entries for the Eurovision Song Contest.
After he was released from prison, 'he...produced three films'.
'Vile Pervert: The Musical (2008), is a 96-minute movie in which King plays all 21 parts and presents his version of events surrounding his prosecution. He portrays his viewpoint of the events responsible for his troubles. In one scene of the film, dressed as Oscar Wilde, King sings that there is "nothing wrong with buggering boys".'
When asked by a newspaper in 2012 if he believed he had anything to apologise for, to anybody from his past, King replied, "The only apology I have is to say that I was good at seduction".
The Genesis singers were 15 to 17 when he met them. Makes you wonder....

Ah, you remembered my interest with all things related to Saville, thanks for the ping.
In all honesty I know nothing about Genesis because of my impeccable taste (wink) but the music industry does seem to have gone tits up recently, what with Avicii and Lostprophets and Chester Bennington. It's certainly worth paying attention to.

I knew someone was gonna say that because voat is full of relics haha.
Like I say, I have no clue about Genesis and all I know is essentially brief clips. My personal taste doesn't often pre-date the 90's (unless you're talking Miles Davis, in which case I'm onboard.)
