ODFO OP

Stop it with the stupid caps and cryptic shite. Stop apologising for horrible fuckers and trying to divert attention.

💯

Little Britain is no longer available on BBC iPlayer. So Walliams will immediately lose any repeat royalties. Sadly so will Matt Lucas who is an innocent party in all of this. It would not surprise me if one of Russell Brand's co-conspiritors in the 'Sachgate' incident eventually gets their collar felt. There are a lot of sleazebags out there in the world of showbusiness and celebritydom.

Co - conspirator and collar felt - do settle down love!

Lucy Beaumont interviewed by Cathy Newman on Sky News - Lucy was one of the whistleblowers that contacted the Guardian. Interesting that as someone who worked in schools previously she identified Safeguarding issues, said 15/16/17 year old girls were mostly working class, naive and so vulnerable.
Respect to her.

I bet theres a lot of singers amd groups from the 70s and 80s who are pretty worried right now. Having groupies following them around was part of the 'job' and there was probably a lot of grooming and inappropriate behaviour going on.

And the 15 year olds…? He sucked one of their breasts and wanted it to go further but she stopped, when she was 15! He additionally asked for sexual images from another 15 year old. On top of this, he groomed numerous other teenage girls including the very drunken one in the expensive spa who only didn’t get raped by him because her friend stopped it. Did you ignore all of this?

No, you haven’t read what I wrote.

The 15 year old is different. I said that above in black and white. Please don’t try and make out that I’m excusing that, please just read what I actually wrote.

The girl who stayed for the weekend with her friend and went to the spa. She was how old? 17? 18? So above the age of consent. And you can’t say he was going to rape her, that’s pure conjecture. He didn’t actually do anything.

The girl is looking back with hindsight and realising she had been niave in going there. It doesn’t make him a criminal.

He used his fame to groom and sexually assault a 15 yr old. You dont need to be in an ‘official’ position of trust to be a groomer. He messaged another 15 yr old, making her feel ‘special’ and was having sex when she was 17. There’s clearly a pattern here.

The messages to Alex when she was 15 were “good luck with your exams” and “keep on writing”.

She instigated contact when she was 17 and a half (but told him she was 18) and voluntarily sent photos, which he had not asked for, and they then had consensual sex.

The fact that she now regrets it is neither here nor there, it wasn’t illegal.

The 15 year old he assaulted, yes, there is no excusing that, as I stated in my post.

So why is he threatening to kill himself if he’s not done anything wrong?

This is my question. Reading the reports, he sailed close to the line mostly. Other than that it’s all about his proclivities for young women which everyone knew already. His reputation for harassment was also well publicised. Given how hard he tried to stop it, I had expected something more explosive. So far it’s very much “fork found in kitchen”

This isn't quite correct.. She said he would have long phone conversations with her. It sounds like he was being careful not to have much in writing. She shared photos of her face and then he asked for more revealing ones and directed what she should do. Ok she was 17 by then but initially he'd got in touch with she was 15.

My impression from watching the documentary is that they're hoping others will come forward when they hear these women.

And of course there is a sexual assault alleged of the 15 year old Jade.

Setting aside what a sleazy fucker he is, the thing that jumped out at me from the article was the number of modelling agencies who gave out the numbers of very young models to him. I’ve seen a documentary about the trafficking of models, and of course Epstein was known to be doing that too, but the ease with which powerful men can get these details is alarming. It’s about time corporations were held liable for their part in it.

the80sweregreat · Yesterday 21:16

Model agencies have never cared about their employees. So many people are exploited by them.
Just seen as a piece of meat most of the time.
