All these unexpected household names - I'm worried  that I'm no longer aghast by seeing them, (not that I necessarily believe it though)
It's sad.

Bluwise,  did you believe the accusations against some of the others, or is it just against Tarby you don't necessarily believe?

It's more about the word 'abuse' and what it covers.  Having worked amongst minor celebs and artistes in my teens/early 20's, things happened that today could come under the umbrella of abuse. At the time, most of us just slapped away unwanted attention.  I also knew people that were 'star-struck' and didn't do much slapping. 
So, in answer to your question, no it's not just Tarby.
