Could we PLEASE have a thread that stays up?

Meaning don't name anyone, or any programme or ask for initials or hint.

I just would like to discuss how this is likely to unfold.

I'm willing to wager £1 (I'll donate it to charity) that I never heard of this accused person. Which is a big bet for me, I generally never bet.

The mum has been living with a crack cocaine addict for 3 years, peeking over their shoulder while they illegally shared sexually explicit video & pics, knowing the household Internet connection was facilitating that income stream to sustain that addiction?

There are just aspects of this story I can't wrap my head around. My mother only managed about 2 years of living with my drug addict brothers. The initial #1 condition was that they had to be clean to stay under same roof, and attend rehab programmes. She lived with & effectively sheltered them for too long, too. She kicked them out when they stole her stuff to sell for drugs, and she prosecuted so that they would go to prison & have better chance to get clean (it half worked).

She didn't blame the pawnshop or the dealers.

Really? Both the person I think it has to be, and the other person people seem to think, still have programmes on there. I just checked.

Me too! You need to be logged in to get search results on a phone, none of them were coming up the first time I tried. I wonder if PP made that mistake?

Moment of madness … covid … pressure of work … isolation … just doing research … stumbled across … couldn’t look away … descent into a hell I can’t now comprehend … moment of madness … Priory check-in … family love keeping me going … apologies to colleagues… moment of madness …

I would rather someone was just honest and say, I like using only fans and other sites of that nature but wouldnt have engaged with this person if I knew they were underage.

Unless of course they really did know that and thats not actually how it all came about

Unlike everyone else on here it seems, I have no idea who it is.

I’ve just been sent the Twitter handle of what I think is a family member. There is a tweet to the alleged perpetrator back in April. It is completely unbelievable if true.

I don't understand how can something thats true be unbelievable?

Yes absolutely predictable. Until his name is released and others come forward and I bet there are others.

I'm surprised we haven't been accused of witch hunts and homophobia yet a Là Schofield, afterall loads of men pay for smut so what on earth is the problem.

Blankstatement · 09/07/2023 14:57

Unlikely to be a one off.

Blankstatement · 09/07/2023 14:58

Person I am thinking of still has programmes on IPlayer.

Goldfoot · 09/07/2023 15:02

Jayllondon · 09/07/2023 14:41

I have figured out who it is. His shows have been removed from BBC iPlayer 🤣🤣🤣

MOTD is never on iplayer after the day of broadcast, if that's what you're thinking?

His regular Saturday evening shows have been removed from BBC iPlayer

Are you sure? That means everyone is wrong, I can’t see any regular current shows removed,

It was more likely to be deleted because you named someone without any proof.

the80sweregreat · 09/07/2023 15:05

The other thread about this is convinced it's a newsreader ?

JarOfRocks · 09/07/2023 15:06

That person has posted on his Instagram talking about the speculation, so assume not him.

It means the opposite, you can’t make unfounded accusations and accuse folks, particularly if you get the wrong person.

That’s not true either.

Goldfoot · 09/07/2023 15:13

The BBC is now saying "a male member of staff" has been suspended - previously only that they weren't due to to be on air.

JarOfRocks · 09/07/2023 15:13

How so? I'm talking about the name that got deleted not the newsreader so just check insta yourself!

Jayllondon · 09/07/2023 15:16

Now showing as on iPlayer but he's a big celeb with a big show and is fond of big wheel's.

the80sweregreat · 09/07/2023 15:16

The chairman of the bbc has written to all the staff apparently
Sounded like word salad to me, but appears they were aware of these allegations in may and the individual is now suspended

Cantlastsixweeksofthis · 09/07/2023 15:19

Fond of big wheels??

Am I being thick here?

Is this guy young, is he straight

What show has been removed

Sunnyfunnytimes · 09/07/2023 15:21

Well the bbc is saying new allegations were made on Thursday over and above the ones made public and as such he’s been suspended.

Surely not. Yikes.

Which would confirm the mother's claim that she reported in May and nothing was done. So she did the right thing going to the press....?
