If anyone is interested he’s selling up his house https://www.reddit.com/r/SpottedonRightmove/s/RAoUaLsrFR

Well, makes sense. Hopefully he won’t need it much longer - not where he’s going. He can share with his old mate Russell.

who’s next?!

If only he'd had the foresight to have become a warrior for Christ fighting against The Establishment, eh?! 😆

I’m curious about Ross now, two direct connections to sexual predators. Could just be a coincidence but I noticed he was also in the pic where DW has his arms around one of his young victims.

Yup...No need to ask what (or who) is next.

I’m not sure if we’re allowed to speculate on names, wouldn’t want MN getting into any legal tRouble if someone gives a Toss about what is posted here.

Can you link to an article?

I think it is now more of a shock if a celebrity doesn't lead a sordid double-life. More of a surprise if a famous person turns out to be wholesome.

But again there is no criminal proceedings, at this point. The only illegality is the kissing a fifteen year olds breast.

one fifteen year old girl is saying he asked for sexual images, he’s saying he didn’t.

it reminds me of Philip Schofield, grooming them to have sex when they are over the age of consent.

Lilypad34 · Today 13:12

Didn’t he say he’d take his own life if he didn’t get an injunction? No justice for the victims but one less to pay for in prison. BBC should hang their heads, awful bloody establishment that keeps covering up for these vile perverts.

JHound · Today 13:12

The worst kept injunction. Everybody knew it was him from before it was announced.

Awful lot of wipe clean upholstery ....

well there’s a surprise- not! Just like brand, he came across as a bigger than life, flamboyant man. But I’ve always thought he was a creep, just like brand.

Full report is in the Guardian which led the investigation.

It’s illegal to abuse your position of power, one of his victims was 17 when they started having sex. That is against the law.

Needmorelego · Today 13:13

Firesidechatter · Today 13:09

But it’s not, 16 is the age of consent, don’t get me wrong he’s a sick sleazy fucker, but I don’t think it’s illegal.

It depends on the definition of "position of power".
That's why teachers aren't allowed to date 6th Formers anymore even though they are over the age of consent.

There is nothing in the claims so far that would result in a custodial sentence unfortunately. Potentially criminal conviction but v unlikely to get prison time as a first offender. CF Huw Edwards ...

Only where there is a specific position of responsibility over that minor, eg teacher or doctor. Not just because the perpetrator is ‘powerful in general’

Araminta1004 · Today 13:15

DS (who is 12 now) had a primary teacher who purged all his books from the school library a few years back already, she must have known something. I asked her about it and she said he was dodgy.
So what is going to happen to the books now in schools/libraries?

Why are so many men depraved?

This.
It makes my blood boil. Zero sympathy for these poor menz who are now being found out and their actions are finally finally having some semblance of consequences for them (which is really just a drop in the ocean of the harm they’ve done to women).

I mean, it’s really not that difficult to manage not to sexually harass and/or assault people, the vast majority of us manage to not do that every single day.

Surely they have all been removed already?

Pulped hopefully.

Bunnycat101 · Today 13:17

Uggg. It does make me feel ill. I said it on the Noel Fielding thread as well but the older I get the more repulsed I am by men my age hitting on young girls. I find it really horrifying that any of them think it’s ok. My own daughters are still primary age but one is only 5 years away from the age of these girls. They are still basically children and it’s repulsive.

This. I'm so tired and depressed. Me and several girlfriends had long talks yesterday about what's happened to us, no one reported and probably never will. It's so so so common. So exhausting and depressing.

ahhh - the typical victim mentally of a narcissist. Along with Russell Brand. Both narcissistics. They literally won’t care & will be convinced they’re right & innocent.

Spaniels4Eva · Today 13:23

I've raised 3 DD's and I remember getting very prickly as men were watching/staring at them when they were young to mid teens. It's just grim and I did call one man out for taking a photo in Starbucks one day. The manager oiked him out a bit quick thankfully as I was ready to smash his phone over his head.
