According to The Express, it is reported in the guardian that the parents of the first young person who accused huw, is set to reveal all in a televised interview for a large sum of money and guess where …….TalkTV. Who owned TalkTv… no other than Rupert Murdock who owns The Sun.

Surely this is a work around from The Sun saying it is not going publish anything else. It’s just p,Ian blatant lying and abuse.

I'll wait until I hear what they say before judging.
If I thought my own child's health had been impacted by someone old enough to know better, I'd want everyone to know what went down.

Of course it was about the money! I work in a solicitors and as soon as anyone says to us “it’s not about the money” I know they’re going to be ringing us weekly asking when they’re going to get their money…

It appears to be about the money on the parents’ part and continuing the vendetta on the Beeb on Murdoch’s behalf. He doesn’t care about being sued - which seems inevitable - because he can afford any amount of damages. Hopefully it will backfire on him spectacularly.

Here’s the account from the primary source.

Parents making money from their crack addict sons sad and probably bad decisions, I wonder how he ended up in this mess it's a real mystery.

Yes I thought they said the person was vulnerable, well they are now going to put that persons name in the public eye. I hope the young person sees this and takes more legal advice, as the parents are doing exactly the same as, taking advantage of a vulnerable person. I see this so many times with parents and their adult children in my line of work and it makes my blood boil, they don’t realise once they turn 18 they are officially an adult and if they can’t make their own decisions then it is best interest that need doing by a professional.

I think the moral of this story is going to be if you are well known (especially if you’re married) don’t go trawling dating sites for randoms who are young enough to be your grandchildren, the chance of selling their story to the highest bidder is too good to resist for some.
