For those of you who haven't heard yet, Pop mogul Jonathan King will be out of jail on parole this Thursday having served less than half of a seven year term for four indecent assaults and two serious sexual offences on boys aged 14 and 15. His initial release date was set at 29 Mar, but this was brought forward after the time that King spent being interviewed at the time of his arrest in 2001 was taken into account and included as part of the jail term.
King has never admitted that he is guilty, having denied the charges at his trial, and his lawyer, Giovanni di Stefano says that
King still hopes to have the conviction quashed.
Mr.
Stefano commented that his client was keen to see his elderly mother, who he has not seen for two years, and added that he
"He intends to go back to his home in west London and get back to work. He said he wants to write a musical about Cole
Porter."
