Clement Freud accused of paedophilia

[Outhere4]

When will the whole filthy, rotten, depraved house of cards finally be disassembled and exposed for what it really is?

[BoneyBackJefferson]

It will never be exposed for what it is as the high powered core offenders are protecting each other.

They will continue to do what they are doing in offering up has-beens, and the deceased to try and placate those that would try to know the truth. (IMHO)

It is scary that his wife appears to have had some knowledge / been involved to a certain extent.

I don't think we will ever know just how prevalent it was and is. It is rare to meet a female who hasn't been abused in some way, at least in my experience.

[Helmetbymidnight]

Huh? How is his wife involved?

[bibbitybobbityyhat]

Are you being unreasonable about what?

Why is this serious news topic in bloody AIBU!

[Northernlurker]

The only thing that I've seen reported about his wife is that she is very upset and saddened by this news. Seems like an appropriate reaction to me. I would have thought that alleging her involvement is potentially actionable and so I will be reporting that post.

[Helmetbymidnight]

If you have 'scary' information on the wife, you should go to the police

[WipsGlitter]

I think they're the poster means she's acknowledged its true, not the usual protests of innocence.

[Helmetbymidnight]

That's not at all what the poster said.

[DameXanaduBramble]

How the chuff was she involved? I read her statement, very dignified indeed, I'm guessing there was some input from Emma Freud there.

[bibbitybobbityyhat]

I think dillydotty has been reading the Mail Online.

"It is scary that his wife appears to have had some knowledge / been involved to a certain extent"

Really? I assume you've told the police this inside information you appear to have...........

[MariaSklodowska]

apparently Mrs Clement Freud was shagging Jonathan Self when he was a teenager and she was in her late 40s.....

[bibbitybobbityyhat]

He was 16, over the age of consent. And that information was in the public domain forever. It was not a secret and is not a revelation today.

[Northernlurker]

Can we leave the reputation of thus elderly woman alone now? Evidence should be presented to the authorities, otherwise keep your unpleasant speculations to yourselves.

[MariaSklodowska]

" Evidence should be presented to the authorities, otherwise keep your unpleasant speculations to yourselves. "

it is not 'speculation' , as bibbity said, that information has been in the public domain for a long time.

[BertrandRussell]

"t is not 'speculation' , as bibbity said, that information has been in the public domain for a long time"

It is when presented in the deliberately titilating way you presented it.

[Goldenhandshake]

I agree with Boney, there is imo, still a very sinister ring of child abusers still in situ in Government and positions of power, all covering each others tracks.

[MariaSklodowska]

" deliberately titilating "

lol I can assure you that i had no intention of 'titillating' anyone Bertrand...if you feel titiillated by it, then I can only apologise.

[aLeafFalls]

Amazing! A man has been accused of paedophilia and within 2 posts this thread is focussing on his wife.

[firesidechat]

Yes, but saying that she had some involvement in her husband's abuse of children is not in the public domain because it's probably not true and is a ridiculous leap for dilly to make. Just because the poor woman gave a dignified statement and didn't do the usual thing of rubbishing the claims doesn't make her involved in any way.

I expect this thread will get deleted if certain posters continue with this kind of made up stuff.

[BertrandRussell]

So what was your intention when you wrote a post suggesting that she was a child abuser too?

[PaulAnkaTheDog]

Oh for fucks sake. The entire thread should be deleted if it's going to be people making baseless accusations against an elderly woman. Quite honestly her statement was incredibly dignified, acknowledging the evidence that her husband abused children is probably the worst thing she'll have ever had to do.

[hackmum]

People should get off their high horse about Lady Freud. This is from the Mail article, and will presumably be in the ITV documentary:

She [Sylvia Woosley] described a disturbing morning when the couple asked her to join them in bed. When Lady Freud went off to make breakfast, she offered to go too but claims his wife replied: ‘No no no no no, you stay where you are, stay where you are with Clay [Clement], I’ll bring it.’
Miss Woolsey recalled: ‘And I knew what was going to happen. I was in my nightdress and he pulls it up and pulls me against him, touching me and kissing me.’

[mrsrhodgilbert]

Have any of you read the statement of his victim Sylvia Woolsley, where she talks about being in bed with them both aged 14?

[girlinacoma]

In addition - he was acquainted with the McCanns and had a villa in Praia da Luz.

Shit
