Possibly worth remembering that just a few weeks ago, the lead singer of the Lost Prophets was convicted of child sex charges, including the attempted rape of a baby (with the active involvement of two of the mothers, fans of his, who were also jailed).
There is now an inquiry as to why police officers, when approached with information about his activities, rather than following up on those allegations (along with apparent email communications as evidence) threatened the woman who brought them with harassment charges because she wouldn't go away.
This wasn't happening in the 70s or 80s, but as recently as 18 months ago or thereabouts.
So, no. I don't think anything has changed particularly.
