	Sometimes, within the bundle of photographs of naked women he would hand the boys, there would be a picture of himself naked. "Oh!" he'd say, blushing a little. "Sorry. You weren't supposed to see that one of me!" (When the police raided King's house, they say they found 10 overnight bags, each stuffed with his seduction kit - his questionnaires and photos of Sam Fox and photos of himself naked - all packed and ready for when the urge took him to get into his Rolls-Royce and start driving around.)<br>		Sometimes, within the bundle of photographs of naked women he would hand the boys, there would be a picture of himself naked.

	He told the boys that it was fine if they wanted to masturbate. And then things would progress from there.

None of the boys say that he forced himself on to them. They all say they just sat there, awed into submission by his celebrity.<br>		He told the boys that it was fine if they wanted to masturbate.

	<h2>1. ~~THE TRIAL~~</h2>		<h2>1. The trial</h2>

	10 September 2001. The trial against Jonathan King takes place in the Old Bailey Court, where some hundred years ago Oscar Wilde, the famous English writer, stood trial for his homosexual relationship with Lord Alfred Douglas. There are six charges within the time frame 1982-1987: one buggery, one attempted buggery, and four indecent assaults on boys aged 14 and 15. There are half-a-dozen journalists covering the case. One of them is Jon Ronson from The Guardian, who is on good terms with Jonathan King. They email each other during the trial.<br>		10 September 2001.

	19 September 2001. On day 10 of the trial Thwaites plays for the jury a videotape of the highlights of Jonathan King's career. Maybe JK tries to awe the jury in the same way that he awed the boys. It takes the jury three days to reach a verdict. JK is found guilty of six charges. He nods every time he hears the foreman of the jury say: "Guilty". Within seconds, Jonathan is led downstairs from the dock, and straight to Belmarsh Prison.<br>		19 September 2001.

	21 November 2001. JK is sentenced to seven year's imprisonment. The Crown Prosecution Service won't proceed with any more trials - this includes the allegations from boys who said JK had picked them up at the Walton Hop. The judge says that the case is a tragedy. This otherwise honourable man, he says, this successful celebrity, used and abused his fame and success to attract impressionable teenagers. But there was no violence, no threats used.~~<br>~~		21 November 2001. JK is sentenced to seven year's imprisonment.

	<h2>3. ~~JONATHAN KING~~'~~S STORY~~</h2>		<h2>3. Jonathan King's story</h2>

	September 11th, 2001 was the most important day in my life. On that Tuesday, in the Old Bailey Court, where 100 years before, Oscar Wilde had stood in the dock charged with very similar accusations, my own trial began. There are two aspects of the JK scandal that, I believe, need objective and considered examination - the specific situation that arose and destroyed me - technically, I hasten to ad. In reality I'm doing fine, thank you. The other aspect is the general, disturbing elements which, I would suggest, clearly shout blind homophobia and dangerously blinkered reaction to the word or insinuation of pedophilia.<br>		September 11th, 2001 was the most important day in my life.
